这是一部充满心理悬念的惊悚片，它改编自詹姆斯-派特森(James Patterson)广受欢迎的亚历克斯-科罗斯(Alex Cross)系列小说的第一部。本片中，摩根-弗里曼(Morgan Freeman)饰演华盛顿特区的一位资深警探及心理学家科罗斯，他擅长与罪犯玩心理游戏，互较心智。加里-索尼杰(迈克尔-温科特饰)是一个高智商的食人魔王，他光天化日之下实施了一次绑架，使科罗斯卷入了这宗案子。而加里-索尼杰需要的并不是赎金，他的欲望远不止这些----他要在史书上记上一笔。这个魔王的每一个行动计划都如蛛蜘织网般地精确慎密，科罗斯和秘密特工杰姬-弗莱尼根(莫妮卡-波特饰)只能尽快地想办法去阻止他。by Jason AnkenyAlong Came a Spider is sadly emblematic of much of Jerry Goldsmith's autumnal output. It's a virtual rewrite of its disappointing predecessor, Hollow Man, and sadly absent of the vitality and fierce originality that are the hallmarks of the composer's finest scores. Created from the same shopworn electronic and symphonic elements that constitute so much of Goldsmith's post-millennial efforts, Along Came a Spider emphasizes atmosphere over substance, yet achieves little of the suspense and danger required of the thriller genre. Goldsmith enthusiasts will find it difficult to shake the sense they've heard it all before, and that it's even more frustrating this time around.
