Spider in the Web

Boring,boring,boring...Nothing else to say...4 stars just because of Ben Kingsley...

This is the genre that usually wins me over just because of the genre. Oh my goodness I gave this show like 5 opportunities to get going and it never delivered. Please save your Promo code/ stream/ your $1.75/ or your time, and skip this one. It sounds soooo good... we'll... it's the complete opposite. Stopped it after an hour and returned without finishing. Acting, scene flow, everything, F.

The message at the beginning states "Based on real events"; I really cannot believe events so absurd and forced could ever happen. This is another Mossad movie where agents are incredible bland with everybody but themselves. Where forced and basically unrealistic setups are used in order to obtain information but at the end things solved just miraculously. A great actress as Monica Belucci is basically unused here. An outstanding actor as Kingsley has to carry a character that too boring and to be bland to be realistic. The rest of the cast simply cannot act. The story starts interesting for the first minutes; but then expends almost two hours in father / son relationship or on love story; both of them unnecessary an unrealistic and completely boring. When the not so unexpected ending comes; it is almost impossible to believe a bunch of incredible smart people were played for fools. Do not waste your time it is pretty stupid and worthless.

Ben Kingsley plays an aging Israeli agent investigating a company suspected of selling chemical weapons in this spy thriller.

"Spider in the Web" is slow and talky; and though it delivers a couple of good twists, the unfortunate result is that you wind up thinking how much more you'd prefer to be reading this kind of story, that's been told many times in spy novels, than instead of watching this tedious exercise. But the saving grace is Kingsley, who can do this sort of thing in his sleep but never gives the appearance that he's doing so.

Conclusion - This movie is slow and boring but Kingsley, who's always at his best is the only reason to watch it... Rated this 6/10

It was really boring that I had to stop from watching it around after 40 minutes.....I tried but the story's pacing was too slow , it was really painful to come to a conclusion...

overall, not a good movie...
