80Freeman fills Cross's gumshoes with distinction.
-
75Broody fun.
-
The perfect thriller. Nothing too gross to creep you out.
-
75It's a superior film in every way to its predecessor "Kiss the Girls."
-
63Freeman gives his overwrought, over-familiar scenes an unlikely shot of intelligence and dignity that cuts through the formulas and almost makes them work.
-
63A mediocre widget stamped straight out of the mold of the popular police procedural.
-
63Best advice: Just sit back and watch Freeman anyway. The man's a cinematic treasure.
-
50A few loopholes I can forgive. But when a plot is riddled with them -- I get distracted.
-
50The script is so ridiculous that nothing rings true.
-
50But even that talent (Freeman) isn't enough to distract you from the general predictability of Spider or the absurdity of its elaborate last-minute plot twists.
-
50A thriller is only as good as its villain is bad, and this is the film's problem.
-
50It's instantly devoured and quickly forgotten.
-
50Efficient, but in the end quite pedestrian.
-
An efficient, if overly mechanized, delivery system of thrills 'n' chills.
-
50Alex Cross has been neutered on film, deprived of his sexuality, his family, his friends.
-
50As executive producer of the film, he (Freeman) clearly sees something in Alex Cross, a man much more interesting than the cheesy plot surrounding him.
-
50A reasonably diverting albeit frequently improbable thriller.
-
50A corkscrew of a thriller, has more twists than a tarantula with a permanent.
-
47With the dependably compelling Freeman present, even its worst moments are not unwatchable.
-
40If Michael Wincott -- who under normal circumstances can chill your blood just by breathing -- can't make the villain compelling, you know the movie's in trouble.
-
40There's not much here for a great actor to sink his teeth into once, let alone twice.
-
40By the time it hits you, you're worn out by all the dead ends and false trails the movie has put you through.
-
40A disingenuous and colossally daft whiplash twist (presumably Patterson's) that only further perforates an already ragged plot.
-
40Weaves a humdrum plot that's never ahead of the audience until three-quarters through.
-
40Mr. Freeman, a superb actor, creates the illusion of drama even when there is none.
-
38It's blah. Worse than blah, actually, because it's so stupid.
-
30A dreary, ludicrous thriller.
-
30Overplotted, hollow thriller.
-
25Relentlessly bland.
-
Screenwriter Marc Moss can take credit for the film's laughable dialogue.
-
10Deadly dull thriller.
