Det. Alex Cross is drawn into a battle of wits with a master criminal in Along Came a Spider. After the kidnapping of a congressman’s daughter the kidnapper contacts D.C. police detective Alex Cross, seeking to put Cross’s skills to the test. Starring Morgan Freeman, Monica Potter, Michael Wincott, and Mika Boorem, the casting is quite strong and they deliver some good performances. The writing is also well-done and effectively builds suspense and tension as the investigation unfolds. Additionally, there are some clever twists and reveals that enrich the story. An exciting and compelling thriller, Along Came a Spider is an impressive entry in the Alex Cross series.

A groggy thriller based on the classic novel; lacks real emotion, suspense & thrill. Wooden acting even from Freeman himself. The plot is ridden with illogicalities & holes. The score is too loud & annoying. At least they made Soneji properly creepy. Feels amateurish.
