This is a clever and unique forgotton gem of a movie with a taught perfomance from uner-rated movie vet Bridges. Sadly it has poor production values and less than stellar direction working against it. The movie is certainly a tattered web at the beginning with a very slow build up. Spiders can spin even a tattered web faster than this! But there are gripping moments here and there are, building to the suspenseful and memorable scene in which Bridges cold blooded cop tries to convince a pathetic drunken bum he has committed the murder Bridges cop perpetrated - using an almost svengali like form of persuasion ... truly disturbing to watch. A Tattered Web is a vintage seventies tv movie worth sticking with - for all its flaws.
