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
