plays a terrific villain, and Freeman delivers the goods once again as Alex Cross.Fans of James Patterson's Alex Cross series should not find this movie difficult to like.

,"Treasure Planet",'02, plays the bad guy who is very sick mentally and keeps Alex and Jizzie on the run through out the entire picture. Morgan Freeman was fantastic in this picture which kept me on the edge of my seat just wondering how the ending would turn out. Sit back and enjoy this picture, it is worth viewing.

the plot were very good and kept me on the edge of my seat.Well written and well acted a definate buy on DVD for me.

of the movie as you need some of the information given during that time of the move. Well, that's all but I hope that you found this review helpful!

off. I really don't want to ruin anything for you so I'll just say this.GOOD qualities: Morgan Freeman delivers another good "Alex Cross" performance The rest of the cast is good The suspense is top quality And there's a Surprise Plot twist! You'll never see it coming It's not too long and over drawn like "Kiss the Girls" Don't get me wrong "Kiss the Girls was awesome, just a tad bit long BAD qualities: You can tell the opening action sequence is CGI But it still is a good action sequence Jay O. Sanders is back He was in "Kiss the Girls" too but for only 2 minutes The deleted moments of the film were deleted,but why? They were good! I had seen them in the theatrical trailer So "Along Came a Spider" gets a: 9/10, ****1/2 out of *****, 92% out of 100%, A- from an A+, Very GoodP.S. "Not considered" sequels usually have the best character from the predecessor and don't need a number to indicate that they're sequels! They really don't need their predecessor to be good or even be possible. These movies could be possible even if "predecessors" didn't come out! Like I said before, they stand on their own

thermos as to not give anything away was excellent and extremely creative. Morgan Freeman did his usual brilliant job of acting. If you like a good suspenseful thriller/mystery, this may be a good choice for you. 8.5 Stars.

profiling criminals is universally respected. Interestingly, his first appearance as Cross was in "Kiss The Girls" 1997 which was based on the second novel in the series.Life at an exclusive private school in Washington D.C. is thrown into turmoil when the daughter of a U.S. Senator is abducted by her computer science teacher who also kills one of his colleagues before taking Megan Rose Mika Boorem to his houseboat. Gary Soneji Michael Wincott changes his appearance immediately by removing the disguise that he'd worn during his two years at the school and telephones Dr Alex Cross who he instructs to check his mailbox. On finding, what proves to be one of Megan's shoes, Cross is convinced that he's been contacted by the real kidnapper.Cross had suffered a period of depression and retired from his job following the death of his partner in a sting operation that had gone horribly wrong but reluctantly now finds himself drawn into this case because he's been personally contacted by the kidnapper. Under-pressure FBI Agent Ollie McArthur Dylan Baker is in charge of the investigation and undiplomatically refers to Cross as "damaged" as well as being equally scathing in his attitude to Secret Service Agent Jezzie Flannigan Monica Potter who'd been in charge of security at the school when Megan was abducted. Despite initially being unenthusiastic about involving them in the investigation, McArthur agrees that Cross and Flannigan could both be useful to have on board and so they team up to try to hunt down Soneji and rescue Megan.It gradually becomes apparent to Dr Cross that Soneji's motive in contacting him had been to elevate his own status by having an adversary of the highest calibre so that by outwitting him, he could assert his own superiority and prove his brilliance as a criminal mastermind. Unusually, this psychopathic killer was not motivated by greed but instead wanted to achieve fame for having committed one of the crimes of the century, in the same way that Bruno Richard Hauptmann had after his conviction for the 1932 kidnapping of Charles Lindberg Jr. Dr Cross has to think again however, when he realises that there's more to Soneji's criminal agenda than simply kidnapping Megan.Director Lee Tamahori does a terrific job on this movie by injecting it with great pace and tension at various junctures as well as choreographing the action sequences so effectively. It's also rich in atmosphere and the cinematography is exceptional. The quality of the acting is generally good throughout with Morgan Freeman outstanding in a role which fits his style perfectly. Its most memorable qualities though, are its genuinely surprising plot twists and its straight-forward ability to entertain so successfully.
