SPIDER IN THE WEB is a would-be spy thriller that follows a mismatched duo in the form of ageing spy Ben Kingsley and a younger protege. It's a co-production between the UK, Belgium and Israel, but all it offers is talk, talk and more talk and nothing approaching proper plotting or any kind of interest in the material whatsoever. The cast go through the motions, Monica Bellucci shows up to add the usual glamour, and the whole thing feels generally tired and paint-by-numbers. If you enjoy watching characters chat incessantly for hours on end then maybe this film is for you...
