I saw this a long time ago and recently rewatched it. The ending still surprised me. Definitely a classic!

When I see a movie, especially a movie that is trying to put on a complex puzzle that the characters is trying to solve I start to dislike it when it don't fit or if the character by just pure chance did something that just happens to get them closer to solve the mystery and stop the "bad guy". In this movie it happen when they seamlessly just start to watch the Russian kids home because of a passing though that the kidnapper maybe is after him. Then that night when the kidnapper was going to kidnap the kid just happens to be that night they where watching the house. Its a to easy way to bring the story forward.Then the twist in the end of the movie is really bad. Two other people knew of the kidnapping and was going to profit of it. So he was not a master planer and his plan could have been stopped before it even began. These two people where in charge of locking down the school when the alarm when of and did not do it so the kidnappers plan could be successful. So he did not think of everything and would have failed if just the security had done its job. This is also not though of by any character before the end of the movie which I find hard to believe. It should have been the first thing that is brought up when the Girl was kidnapped.

You Name it he'll deliver, that the kinda of thought comes into my mind whenever i watches Morgan Freeman's Movies. Its really difficult to predict in the whole cast who really was the spider.But nevertheless the plot was perfectly placed as it should be and the movie is worth of money.On the other hand Monica Porter played her part really good, but the movie only deserves to be a one time thriller flick rather than a long run horse.You may find the movie a very predictable and not so different from the movies of the same genre but still Lee put all the efforts to have glued to your seats till the end.

"Along came a spider" was a good thriller film. It was certainly much better than the disappointing "Kiss the Girls" film – a film which was pretty predictable, but what makes "Along came a spider" stand-out are its twists and turns. The film is some mystery – no doubt, and is certainly worth watching for movie lovers.The story is about a forensic psychologist named Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) who retires after a disastrous sting operation that resulted in the death of his partner. He immediately retires after that tragedy, but later, he is pretty much drawn back to the police force again after a congressman daughter named Megan Ross (Mika Boorem) is kidnapped at school by a 'teacher'. This kidnapper then drags Alex (Morgan) into this by placing the shoe of the girl in his mailbox. Then, Alex (Morgan) along with Jezzie Flannigan (Monica Potter) presumably Alex's (Morgan) new partner must find out where Megan Rose (Mika) is; who kidnapped her? WHY?Like I've said, it's a good film with lots of twist and turns and that was one of the major reasons I enjoyed this film. This film made me jump off my couch with one of its twists. The film no doubt gets you intrigued: it is a film certainly worth watching. Morgan Freeman role as Alex Cross was simply brilliant in this movie: I don't think any other actor was capable of this performance.I give this thriller of a film a deserved 8, but only JUST. It's a film worth watching for sure.
