It's a good-looking, mostly well-acted but preposterously plotted movie.

In terms of plotting, it's hardly breaking new ground, but spare a thought nonetheless for Morgan Freeman.

Top Critic Freeman always gives good value and the result is never less than watchable.

Director Lee Tamahori and screenwriter Marc Moss treat their star (and his character) with all due respect, and manage to turn out an engrossing, entertaining movie in the process.

Along Came a Spider isn't a smart thriller like Se7en or Copycat; instead, it's more of a watchable idiotic thriller.
