Morgan Freeman was fantastic but Monica Potter puts you to sleep.The first movie was way better than this one.The villain is not exciting and the plot sucks.This movie will never reach the standards of Silence Of The Lambs, Seven, Bone Collector... Full review

Throughout, Along Came a Spider, however, Morgan Freeman remained in charge, solid, never unnerved by the kidnapper and his crazy games.....Morgan Freeman did an outstanding job, playing a doctor/detective..... ... Full Review

So if you are prepared for that disappointment, what is left is a rather bland TV movie morality tale with a bit of sex, violence and foul language thrown in.
For those of you expecting a Morgan Freeman cop/thriller film along the lines of " Along Came a Spider " as portrayed on the DVD box art and in the text on the back of the DVD case - this ain't it.

From the opening credits, which ingeniously consist of the words being lowered by the strings of a spider web, to the stunning prologue that depicts a horrifying automobile accident which concludes over the side of a waterfall, to the unpredictable finale, "Along Came a Spider" is a good movie. ...

Considering the movie deals with the kidnapping of a child and the genre is that new hybrid that can scarcely conceal its fascination with psychotics, "Along Came a Spider" isn't nearly as unpleasant as it might be.
The girl, played by Mika Boorem, hasn't been made distinctive, so we've got no particular emotional investment in her.
