What makes this series of films, based on James Patterson's novels, more effective than other run-of-the-mill thrillers is Morgan Freeman.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 25, 2020

A thriller that ended the possibilities for Morgan Freeman as an unlikely star of a great franchise. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 3, 2016

Plotholes cripple the film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 17, 2015

Morgan Freeman reprises his role from Kiss the Girls in this inferior psychological thriller

| Original Score: C | Jun 23, 2011

Blood, violence, murder good Freeman, dumb plot.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2010

I don't begrudge Freeman his own hero-man franchise, but I wish the movies worked harder to be worthy of him.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 23, 2007

I felt like I was kidnapped and forced to watch this drek as punishment.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003

Enjoyment, or even tolerance, of 'Along Came A Spider' hangs upon a couple of plot twists, which even by Hollywood standards are pretty far-fetched.

| Feb 13, 2003

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

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

| Dec 16, 2002

The best I can say is that this was a relatively inoffensive way to pass a couple of hours, but after about a day I'm having trouble remembering any of it already.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2002

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2002

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 15, 2002

Freeman, as always, is a still center of dependable calm and intelligence, but Potter registers only as another generic blonde.

| Oct 3, 2002

Even at half speed, Freeman excels: He knows how to whip out his badge at a crime scene and make it seem as if he had been doing it his whole life.

| Sep 26, 2002

A decent (if entirely unmemorable) followup to Kiss the Girls...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 25, 2002

[Lee]Tamahori keeps the pacing lively enough that he doesn't allow the audience time to linger on the many plot implausibilities

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 31, 2002
