MoviesInMo Review

This is one for the #MeToo movement. A movie with a strong female lead, protecting women from womanizers. I know some will see this film and try to compare it to all the other action flicks out there. Don’t do it. Like the other films in this series, The Girl in the Spider’s Web is a psychological thriller filled with some action scenes. Is it believable? About 75% of it is. The other 25% is pure Hollywood style entertainment. The best thing about Spider’s Web is that it’s not an American movie. It’s a foreign film financed by Sony to be shown to an American audience. That makes a big difference. When Hollywood creates films, they tend to dumb them down or just screw them up completely. That’s what they did to the Americanized version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) starring Daniel Craig. That version sucks and when compared to the original 2009 Swedish version. The Girl in the Spider’s Web is a little of both. It has that foreign intelligence aspect mixed with that American over the top action factor. What you have is a movie with a little bit of everything for everybody. It tends to work given the current state of the entertainment industry and the attention span of its core audience. Overall, this fourth film in the series (second for Hollywood) is a very entertaining movie worth seeing.
