sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** Despite all the great work she's done for the investment company De Winter-Hathaway tech annalist Lauren Bishop, Kari Wuhrer, feels that being a woman in an all mens business world she'll go nowhere higher up the corporate ladder then where she's is right now. It's when Lauren runs into the boss's Robert Harding's, George Murdock, son Clay, Stephen Baldwin, that she sees an opening for her to make it big in the company.Clay for his part just can't wait for his dad to check out by dropping dead so he can get his ands on his pop's 40 million dollars in bond and stock options and ,in not wanting to off the the old man, plans to steal it right under his and the big wigs at De Winter-Hathaway's noses when they would least expect it. During a major money exchange for a tech company that De Winter-Hathaway is interesting in buying. Together with Lauren whom he's planning to check out of the country with the 40 million Clay forms a dummy company masking itself as De Winter-Hathaway in Zürich to pull the whole scheme off. And it's his lover Lauren who's to get his plan put into motion by her setting up the exchange by getting in the company's master computer and accessing it's passwords!***SPOILERS*** As you would expect in a film with both greed and sleaze being a common commodity the plan that Clay came up with doesn't include his partner in crime Lauren in that she's slated to be the fall guy or girl in it. Lauren for her part has plans of her own in despite spending a number of hot and heavy sex sessions with Clay in the sack soon realizes that he's only interested in her or her body, and what a body she's got, to end up behind bars, That's in her being a pasty in what he's secretly planning with his other partner in crime, the man who had Lauren fired from her job at the firm, Harry Burnham, Benjamin King. It's his good friend and collage classmate Harry who in fact Clay not only ends up double-crossing but murdering, and making it look like a suicide, as well!It's the really hot sex scenes between Clay & Lauren in the film that makes it worth watching with both of them seeming to really get it on and not just acting them out. Actress Kari Wuhrer who in some of her close ups looks at least 10 years older then she really is, at 34 years old, had no trouble convincing you that she's as turned on as an in heat hot to trot teenager, taking her clothes off at every opportunity, in the sizzling and erotic sex scenes she's in with, that lucky stiff, her co-star in the movie Stephen Baldwin! Where in the end of the movie it's Clay in him thinking he's in control of things ends up holding the bag with Lauren checking out of the country with the 40 million waiting for her in a Swiss bank account.
Claudio Carvalho 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")
dromasca A cheap movie - and not only because it is low budget. The action pretends to be about a cheating scheme in the high tech capitalist venture world. It actually is just confusing and predictable at the same time. Directing and camera work are close to ridicule, and acting does not get higher than low quality TV dramas. Steve Baldwin is shaming the Baldwin name by participating in this movie. Even the erotic scenes seem to be just there to fill in the time. 4/10 on my personal scale. Avoid it!
bbbl67 I think they tried to make this another sort of Wild Things. You know, lots of double-crossing and triple-crossing, etc. However Wild Things was a fun ride all the way through, this one isn't.I noticed that both Kari Wuhrer and Stephen Baldwin were not only the stars of the movie, but they were co-executive producers. I wonder if these two stars just wanted an excuse to make a movie where they could be naked together? I can't see any other purpose for this film.
