A giant spider attacks Los Angeles. An exterminator and a security guard save the city despite themselves.

This is more of a buddy comedy than it is a giant monster movie or a disaster flick. The two main characters are really good. Greg Grunberg and Lombardo Boyar are a great pairing and provide plenty of laughs playing the unlikeliest of heroes. And to make the cast even better, the always awesome Ray Wise has a large role. He is strictly a straight man, but he's Ray Wise. I need nothing else.

The special effects are entirely CGI and they're not very polished but good enough. For viewers looking for city smashing action, there's only a few minutes worth. The best moment with the spider is a rampage through a park, where it kills dozens. It is very much like the attack of the bay monster during the Korean movie, "The Host".

It's accurate to call this a B-Movie, but it's way better than what you'd see on SyFy channel. It never stopped being fun.
