Spyder

About This Movie

Spyder is this gritty action flick from '88 that dives into the murky waters of vengeance and betrayal. You've got this businessman, desperate to save his son from Vietnam, but the mercenaries he hires? They are more interested in lining their pockets than any noble cause. It's not all just explosions and gunfire; the pacing has this relentless tension, especially after they kill the cop's partner. Brad Spyder, the cop, played with a raw intensity, becomes this force of nature seeking justice, or maybe a little something more personal. The practical effects have that rough charm, typical of the era, and they really amplify the film's gritty vibe. It’s this blend of revenge and moral ambiguity that keeps it kind of haunting, you know?
