Spider's Web (2002)

Takes itself way too seriously

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

***SPOILERS*** Despite all the great work she's done for the investment company De Winter-Hathaway tech annalist Lauren Bishop, Kari Wuhrer, feels that being a woman in an all mens business world she'll go nowhere higher up the corporate ladder then where she's is right now. It's when Lauren runs into the boss's Robert Harding's, George Murdock, son Clay, Stephen Baldwin, that she sees an opening for her to make it big in the company.Clay for his part just can't wait for his dad to check out by dropping dead so he can get his ands on his pop's 40 million dollars in bond and stock options and ,in not wanting to off the the old man, plans to steal it right under his and the big wigs at De Winter-Hathaway's noses when they would least expect it. During a major money exchange for a tech company that De Winter-Hathaway is interesting in buying. Together with Lauren whom he's planning to check out of the country with the 40 million Clay forms a dummy company masking itself as De Winter-Hathaway in Zürich to pull the whole scheme off. And it's his lover Lauren who's to get his plan put into motion by her setting up the exchange by getting in the company's master computer and accessing it's passwords!***SPOILERS*** As you would expect in a film with both greed and sleaze being a common commodity the plan that Clay came up with doesn't include his partner in crime Lauren in that she's slated to be the fall guy or girl in it. Lauren for her part has plans of her own in despite spending a number of hot and heavy sex sessions with Clay in the sack soon realizes that he's only interested in her or her body, and what a body she's got, to end up behind bars, That's in her being a pasty in what he's secretly planning with his other partner in crime, the man who had Lauren fired from her job at the firm, Harry Burnham, Benjamin King. It's his good friend and collage classmate Harry who in fact Clay not only ends up double-crossing but murdering, and making it look like a suicide, as well!It's the really hot sex scenes between Clay & Lauren in the film that makes it worth watching with both of them seeming to really get it on and not just acting them out. Actress Kari Wuhrer who in some of her close ups looks at least 10 years older then she really is, at 34 years old, had no trouble convincing you that she's as turned on as an in heat hot to trot teenager, taking her clothes off at every opportunity, in the sizzling and erotic sex scenes she's in with, that lucky stiff, her co-star in the movie Stephen Baldwin! Where in the end of the movie it's Clay in him thinking he's in control of things ends up holding the bag with Lauren checking out of the country with the 40 million waiting for her in a Swiss bank account.

This was a very odd movie, it was a mix between Movie and porn.It was most likely Steven Baldwins worst film, I also noticed that One time Bond star George Lazenby had a small part in the film, I thought he did really well considering the type of movie it is.This is a movie that you could watch if you had Absulutely nothing else to watch, thats why I watched it.There where some very nice nude scenes however.Stephen Baldwin, What the hell are you doing? You use to do quality films, fire that agent of yours.go to your local video shop and you'll find this movie in the B-grade waste of time section, it should be right next to Gladiator or some other crappy Russel Crowe Movie.

The movie was slow to develop if it actually ever did. I have seen better plots on cable soft porn movies. If you are into that sort of thing then this movie is for you. Don't waste your time just+6 take a nap.

1st watched 11/19/2002 - 2 out of 10(Dir-Paul Levine): Boring, slow-moving movie that eventually becomes about a couple of people trying to steal from one another the high-tech way(thru swiss bank accounts). It's a sad thing when the best you can say about a movie is a person's figure and looks. I'm sorry but I have to say it, the best thing about this movie is Kari Wuhrer's body. The rest of the movie was boring, worthless, and a ridiculous waste of money(for those who made it and for those who purchase or rent it). I waited, and waited, and waited for this movie to be over and guess what. it finally ended!! I guess I've pretty much said enough. Don't invest in this loser.
