Spiderhead Review: Hemsworth & Teller Elevate Familiar Yet Intriguing Thriller
Fresh off the record-breaking success of Top Gun: Maverick, director Joseph Kosinski is back for his second film of the summer, Netflix's Spiderhead. Shot in late 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the thriller is a much smaller and more contained work than Kosinski's blockbuster legacy sequel. Still, with a cast that includes big names like Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller, there are enough pieces in play to have Spiderhead stand out from the gluttony of Netflix original releases. And this film mostly gets there. Spiderhead blends interesting concepts with strong performances from the cast to craft a fascinating, if thin, sci-fi thriller.
