-Morgan
Freeman
The
redoubtable
Morgan
Freeman
returns
as
Washington,
DC
police
detective
Alex
Cross,
the
master
profiler,
in
an
exciting
thriller
based
on
James
Patterson's
novel,
ALONG
CAME
A
SPIDER.
The
film
is
actually
a
prequel
to
the
box
office
blockbuster
KISS
THE
GIRLS.
Here,
Cross
is
pursuing
a
brilliantly
twisted
kidnapper
who's
holding
the
daughter
of a
U.S.
senator.
When
the
kidnapper,
Gary
Soneji
(the
effectively
sinister
character
actor,
Michael
Wincott),
who
had
posed
as a
schoolteacher
for
two
years
before
making
his
move,
contacts
Cross
and
taunts
him,
but
makes
no
demands
for
money,
Cross
starts
to
piece
together
a
psychological
profile.
With
the
help
of a
clever
and
beautiful
Secret
Service
agent,
Jezzie
Flannigan
(Monica
Potter),
Cross
begins
his
investigation
of
the
bizarrely
elaborate
and
ruthless
crime.
But
as
is
usual
with
Patterson's
work,
just
when
Cross
(and
the
audience)
thinks
everything
is
resolved,
a
stunning
twist
unfolds.
Acclaimed
director
Lee
Tamahori
(THE
EDGE,
ONCE
WERE
WARRIORS)
is
adept
at
staging
the
action,
including
a
tense
chase
through
Union
Station
during
rush
hour,
and
Freeman's
pensive
presence
lends
an
extra
level
of
gravity
to
this
darkly
entertaining
thriller.
