well paced thriller
19 November 2001
along came a spider was certainly an above average thriller but it did seem a little contrived at times. Michael wincott's character was built up a lot but just seemed to crumble away when his game was up. Morgan freeman has done roles like this a lot (seven) & he did his part well but a character change is now in order. Monica potter looked too young & pretty to be in this film & didn't really fit her character's part that well.

A lot of this film shows the police forces as idiots which isn't far off but the diamond drop was really unrealisitic & Looked tagged on to keep the film going. The best point of the film was the performance of the girl Megan who showed that not all young kids are nuisances in films.

Along came a spider does its job well but the investigators did really appear to be really dumb which went a bit far on several occasions
