Review of The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018) by Kenr — 16 Feb 2020

More grotesque moviemaking that resembles yet another computer game. Never-ending foolish situations that seem to lean more and more to the morally bankrupt. It becomes quite impossible to follow the outlandishly ridiculous story or to like any of the grimy characters. Stylish production design gets wasted along with a reasonably good Clair Foy performance (but this won’t help her career) What kind of audiences are the producers aiming for?

It’s doubtful the attention spans of a great many young people will be captured for too long, and more mature viewers will find it just so over-the-top as to not care beyond a few scenes – my audience had all walked out before half-way. Time to look for better material.
