Tinker tailor soldier snooze. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 08/29/2019
Mostly, the movie's a magnificent showcase for Kingsley, who's always at his best when his characters look like they know something we don't. Go to Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post 02/04/2022
2.5/5
While Kingsley's character Avram Adareth's musings on a life spent dishing out violence on behalf of a seemingly ungrateful government are quietly compelling, the film offers precious little to get excited about. Go to Full Review Sr. Rose Pacatte St. Anthony Messenger 09/11/2019
[Spider in the Web] is not altogether satisfying as a story, but it works well enough as a smoke-and-mirrors spy caper. It shows that the world is a dangerous place with countries acting in their own self-interest. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 09/03/2019
3/5
While there are some strong scenes in the final act, the emotional kick simply isn't there. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 08/31/2019
The narrative momentum too often stalls, which prevents the film from maintaining consistent tension. That's a problem even Kingsley can't solve. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/23/2022 A Belgian tourism film that flickers into life at times but mostly it's just trying to be clever while it's weird. See more Justin W @Loonsan 11/10/2021 Too much talking & drama, too little real corp. espionage thrill. If you come for the actions, you will be disappointed; not even Ben's charms can save it. See more inta k @intuciic 09/05/2020 super mega booooring See more 08/17/2020 The plot is a chaotic mess and the entire movie is barely held together by the amazing Ben Kingsley. Just because the story is based on true events does not mean the story has any coherence. This jumbled narrative has Kingsley running around Europe trying to placate Mossad, I think. See more 06/15/2020 An aging spy goes on one last mission of redemption. His mission: Make a horrible movie that you watch once and once only. Acting: 10 Beginning: 1 Characters: 0 Cinematography/Visuals: 8 Conflict: 3 Entertainment Value: 4 Memorability: 1 Pace: 4 Plot: 6 The story is one of the best things about Spider in the Web. However, that's not saying much. At its base, it still manages to get bogged down with confusion, not just with story but with character motivation as well. I spent just as much time successfully following along as I did scratching my head at some of its more confusing moments. Resolution: 3 I think a huge part of why I hated the ending was because I was still lost by the time I got to it. What are the stakes? Why should I care? These are two simple questions that can make or break a movie if not answered correctly. Overall: 40 Don't let that 75% Rotten Tomatoes score fool you. In fact, you would be better served looking at the audience score. Spider In the Web is bad. Real bad. Not All About Steve bad, but enough for me to say it's a total waste of almost two hours to sit through it.
