Spider's Web

I failed to see what the point of this movie is. The only thing I found entertaining was looking at Stephen Baldwin's excruciatingly sexy body. The movie went nowhere and Wuhrer gave a cheap corn-ball performance. If you are thinking about renting this movie, don't. Wait until it comes to cable. You'll thank me later ;)

a story of betrayal featuring baldwin and wuhrer scheming and trumping each other to steal his father's money. filmmakers seem to have made the most of a modest budget. considering limitations of script, star performances are excellent and overall look and pace of film is first rate. too bad the material wasn't better. as is, it's a nice diversion for 90 minutes, with a distinctive european look and feel.

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.

stylish visual choices and expensive-looking locations highlight this old fashioned betrayal yarn, reminiscent of some of the early rko films, this one with a european feel; nice to look at despite a script that would have been better if cornell woolrich wrote it. while this isn't saying very much, it's probably the best performance of kari wuhrer's career. same goes for baldwin. it looks like the creative people may have cared. really sucky music and poor color timing, typical of films by this cheesy company, aren't consistent with creative directions, suggesting that producers (credits include milli vanilli) probably had the prevailing low budget hand in post-production. too bad.

Lauren Bishop (Kari Wuhrer), an efficient executive, meets Clay Harding (Stephen Baldwin), the son of the owner of the company where she works, in a business meeting. After having intense sexual intercourse, they decide to deviate the company money to a Swiss bank. Last, a cheating game between them two will make a winner and a looser.

With more care, the plot of this low budget B-movie could be attractive. But the problem is the excessive and long sex scenes between the two main characters. Instead of improving the screenplay, writer and director give free sex for the viewers. Stephen Baldwin is a bad actor, and maybe for him it would really be necessary to show his butts many times for the pleasure of his feminine public. However, Kari Wuhrer does not seem to be such a bad actress. Indeed, she seems to know how to act. I have not watched the films in her filmography, but she does not need to show her beautiful naked body all the time. I am not daring to compare 'Spider's Web' with the fantastic 'noir' 'Body Heat', but sex in Lawrence Kasdan's movie was sensual, was part of the plot. In this 'Spider's Web', it is free, rough, looks like in 'Sexy time' or other erotic show. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Poder, Sedução e Intriga" ("Power, Seduction and Intrigue")
