Alex Cross (2012)
Directed by Rob Cohen
this film based on the novel Cross stars Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox and
Edward Burns. Police hunt a contract killer who is hunting down
corporate targets before coming after the police as well.
This is a reboot of
the Alex Cross character who previously featured in Kiss the Girls
(1997) and Along Came a Spider (2001) which stared Morgan Freeman in
the same role. Most of the problems with this film come from the plot
that would better fit a 90s cheesy thriller than anything that claims
to be at all serious, think too much or at all here and you are going
to have a bad time. When it comes to the lead role I am not really
sure that Tyler Perry has the chops to replace someone like Morgan
Freeman and seems fairly out of place in this film.
2/5
