    Alex Cross

    by golfnov26

    Good movie. Too much blowing up of things. Tyler Perry did a commendable job but I just do not see him carrying that role. Cicely Tyson added some class and believability to the movie.

    Exceptional movie in every way! Tyler Perry is excellent. James Paterson provided a fantastic storyline. And, when Tyler meets James there's electricity in the movie - it works overtime. It you are a Tyler Perry fan or if you like a good mystery movie or detective story, this will satisfy you. It's a must-see for Tyler Perry fans. Warning - there are a few spots with graphic violence.

    Alex Cross is a Hit! If you are a fan of James Patterson character go see this!

    by caelco71

    I was very excited when I saw the trailers for Alex Cross as I'm a James Patterson fan. I listen to the books on cd or audio books from the library and enjoy them immensely. Tyler Perry did a great job as Alex Cross and I believe plenty of people will be pleasantly surprised. I have no idea what the critics are talking about and why they chose to bash this movie so bad, but I would highly recommend disregarding everything that they have said and pay attention to word of mouth and fan reviews instead! It had a good plot, great action, good acting and was funny and sad at times. The cast was great--most notably, Matthew Fox, Edward Burns, and Cicely Tyson. It had a nice twist at the end that I didn't see coming either. Matthew Fox brought to mind for me many of the crazy killers in Alex Cross novels. He was a total bad*ss in this movie. Great ending too! I loved it!

    too sadistic, violent....like Perry, could have lost the full face shot stqre at the end of the flick.

    fast moving lot of action, prefer more subtle thrillers.

    disjointed and predictable

    by jwis

    Acting was fine but the story was lacking on multiple levels...I got the feeling important scenes ended up being edited out, there were too many subplots and not enough character depth. Also was a 1.5 hour long commercial for GM. Save your money, wait for it to come to Netflix or Red Box if you want to see it.

    Better than I was expected.

    by ZiggyZeegs

    It was nice to see Tyler Perry like this. He WAS Alex Cross. It was kinda funny though because at one point when he was using an elevated voice to get a point across Madea started to come through. He caught it though. It wasn't too long and it seems like they left it at a good point for a second installation. Go see it!

    Give Tyler Perry A Chance

    by

    It's not as cliche as you think it's going to be. Tyler Perry did a great job, and the movie was great. No disappointments. =) Go watch it. I think you'll like it.

    Cross Review

    by

    I sure don't agree with the critics on this one. It was suspenseful and exciting. I think Tyler Perry was very good. I think he showed he a good actor out of his Madeara role. Hope to see more Patterson movies with Tyler Perry as Cross. A lot of people probably didn't go see it because of the critics. Go - before it's too late.

    Hard to visualize anyone but Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross. Tyler Perry did a remarkable job. Hard to look at him and see any other character except Medea, but was pleasantly surprised. Looked like he captured the character like James Patterson meant for him to be betrayed. Matthew Fox was excellent as the bad guy, another surprise protrayal.

    Alex Cross

    by SteveHuntVA

    Very suspenseful and well done. Action scenes packed a real punch and were very well done.

    Loved it. Too intense for impressionable kids but very well done

    IF you are a big James Patterson fan - this brought the book to life VERY well and you will enjoy it.

    New Alex Cross

    by JCPass

    I did enjoy the movie....seemed a little strange without Morgan Freeman, but I know he can't play this role anymore.That's why I couldn't rate it must go. I'm not sure Tyler Perry is right for the part either

    This movie was ok. It was not as action packed as I thought it was going to be. And the villian in the movie was not that "bad". Tyler Perry was not as good as Morgan Freeman was with this role. The rest of the cast did a fair job.

    Good acting; bad vehicle!

    by loldham

    I loved Matt Fox's performance - he was an awesome villain. I don't think the story was as cohesive as it could have been, hated all the blatant product placement and the fight scene at the end was too bouncy to follow - who was the cameraman - if that was intentional then whatever that "style" is should be banned. Overall disappointed; could have been great based on trailer!
