 ALONG
CAME
A
SPIDER
With
Morgan
Freeman,
Monica
Potter,
Michael
Wincot
Directed
by
Lee
Tamahori
If
Kiss
The
Girls
is
not
your
kind
of
movie,
then
this
won't
work
for
you.
If
the
profiling
hunt
for
a
mad
killer
&
kidnapper
makes
your
bomb
tick,
however,
the
reprising
character
portrayed
by
Foreman
from
the
aforementioned
thriller
will
no
doubt
make
your
suspense
gland
twitch.
A
political
figure's
daughter
is
kidnapped
amid
strict
security
and
our
man
is
called
in.
In
fact,
the
kidnapper
insists
on
his
involvement.
With
no
apparent
motive
or
demand
other
than
committing
the
crime
of
the
century,
the
race
is
on
to
sift
through
clues
and
not
only
save
the
girl
and
get
the
bad
guy,
but
also
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
what
he's
really
after.
Enjoyable
enough,
at
least
the
film
takes
a
little
twist
here
&
turn
there
to
ensure
your
attention's
directed
at
the
screen.
Director
Lee
Tamahori
really
made
an
impact
with
his
stark
portrayal
of
violent
Maori
family
life
in
Once
Were
Warriors.
It
feels
as
though
any
new
director
could've
made
Along
Came
A
Spider
work,
his
stamp
not
exactly
imprinted
on
it
(or
maybe
we
have
too
high
expectations
because
of
his
impressive
debut?
Mulholland
Falls
was
also
pretty
bland
-
I
guess
if
you
can
make
your
way
to
Hollywood
after
your
first
flick,
that's
not
bad
going,
question
remains
how
much
clout
you
have
in
picking
your
next
project.
At
least
Tamahori
managed
to
get
Bond20!
A
once
in
a
lifetime
shot).
While
this
is
not
the
kind
of
film
you'll
die
for
additional
info
or
DVD
extras,
at
least
it
contains
a
featurette
&
trailer.
