Reboot leaves you Cross

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
