A thriller that ended the possibilities for Morgan Freeman as an unlikely star of a great franchise. [Full review in Spanish]December 21, 2010
Blood, violence, murder good Freeman, dumb plot.March 19, 2002
There are popcorn movies, and then there are movies like this one, which, by its conclusion, make you want to toss your empty popcorn bag at the screen.July 01, 2006
I felt like I was kidnapped and forced to watch this drek as punishment.April 06, 2001
Gets tangled in its own web of absurdities.September 26, 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.April 06, 2001
Taken at face value, the film is entertaining, exciting at times and fun to watch.April 06, 2001
Like a paperback plucked from a counter at an airport, Spider is an impulse buy of a film, a time killer that will neither tax your brain nor challenge your memory.June 23, 2011
Morgan Freeman reprises his role from Kiss the Girls in this inferior psychological thrillerOctober 03, 2002
Freeman, as always, is a still center of dependable calm and intelligence, but Potter registers only as another generic blonde.July 23, 2007
I don't begrudge Freeman his own hero-man franchise, but I wish the movies worked harder to be worthy of him.
