Along Came a Spider

Although this is considered by most to be the sequel to KISS THE GIRLS, in the James Patterson universe in in fact happens before and the book preceeds it. Sadly, many felt the was just another SE7EN rip-off and that is a shame. ALONG CAME A SPIDER has Morgan Freeman reprising his role as Alex Cross and once again he excels in the part. Lee Tamahori brings a sharp touch to the direction here and manages to keep the tension high and the pace even higher. Monica Potter, of recent BOSTON LEGAL fame, does an excellent job here as does serial nutbar Michael Wincott. Of special note is the work of Mika Boorem who still strikes me as an actress to keep a close eye. Also, brace yourself for one of the best pieces of CGI not in a sci-fi or horror film. Nicely done and you'll see within the first ten minutes.
