Review of Along Came a Spider

A slick suspenseful Cop Thriller with a great Morgan Freeman back in the iconic role of Detective Alex Cross as seen & starred in the 90's CLASSIC, Kiss The Girls, here Alex is on the case of a kidnapped senators young daughter & unravels a scary mystery. Along Came A Spider is a thrilling, exciting psychological Thriller drenched in that Awesome 90's Thriller Movie Feel from the lovely rich cinematography to the exciting & thrilling music score by legendary composer JERRY GOLDSMITH, this is a cracking good Cop film & Morgan Freeman is great again as the super smart veteran Detective but this time he's more troubled after the devastating death of his partner seen at the beginning of the film that he just couldn't save in time, his Alex Cross feels more tormented & vulnerable here & Freeman is just great on screen as usual & is best when playing a Detective like he did in Seven & Kiss the Girls. The rest of the cast are all fine in their roles like Michael Wincott as the criminal villain with an icey-cold presence & the secret service agent who teams up with Alex Cross played by Monica Potter who may hide a dark secret, it's all a slick & well made Thriller & a great late night flick. "Spider" is just as good as "Girls" but both films are excellent Suspense Thriller's & equally enjoyable but i think i enjoy "Spider" more for it's rainy moody atmosphere & relaxed pacing, i enjoy the quiet moments of Alex Cross just investigating & looking at evidence. I love this film & can say it's my favourite Morgan Freeman film. I got the same nice, cozy & almost comforting feel as i got from other Thrillers such as Kiss The Girls, Murder At 1600, Metro, The Bone Collector & Striking Distance, among others. This is the type of Detective Mystery Thriller that i want WILL SMITH to make!!!
