Jacob B PROLOGUE: Well, this certainly wasn't the direction I was expecting Jack Shephard's character arc to go after that big twist in Lost S3's ending scene but hey, at least Matthew Fox seems to be getting a kick out of playing someone who's not trying to fix everything. REVIEW: Not really a complete trainwreck but hardly a good movie either, Alex Cross does have good performances and a few decent scenes of suspenseful or tearjerking moments but the eye-rolling dialogue, bad action scenes and predictable story make this adaptation of the James Patterson bestseller a mostly-forgettable film that makes the Morgan Freeman films' merits stand out more. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Nathan W I have to partially disagree with the critics on this one. I thought the direction was one of the saving graces of this film. Because it was a fairly good looking picture. The sets were nice, lots of different locations, and decent cinematography. It's just that, what was filmed wasn't all that interesting. You know, we have a detective that's so good at his job, that all the answers just come to him. (Things happen so easily that their not believable or the least bit exciting). Our "bad guy" doesn't feel menacing at all and his motivation isn't really made clear. The script was underwhelming, the plot didn't always make sense, and everyone was mostly lacking any discernable emotions. The cast was okay for the most part... No "big" names but a lot of familiar faces. I will say that things got a little better in the second half of the film. You could actually tell that characters were feeling ways about stuff for a change. But the story was still so uninteresting and messy that was hard care what was going on. A lazy attempt at a cop movie, that was simply going through the motions. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Tom W I enjoyed it. I'm not a pro movie watcher. I just liked the fast pace & I like Tyler Perry. I don't need CannesFilmFest stuff. Btw, the German industrialist character, Erich Nunemacher, reminds me of Elon Musk. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Andre G Not bad, thought it was going to be a lot worse. It was ok. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Audience Member James Patterson created an incredibly deep, complex character in Alex Cross. Morgan Freeman played him well in 2 films. Now, it was time for 3-itis. Change significant parts of the character and his supporting cast. Transplant the film to a setting alien to the character and refuse to use the rogue's gallery Patterson has already created. A recipe for disaster that makes this film unwatchable. From leaden dialogue to a ponderous plot, Alex Cross should be shown to every aspiring film writer as how NOT to adapt a novel to the screen. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The story is decent, but not lead with much flair at all. Perry and Fox are both totally committed here, trying their best, but they are both unconvincing in their roles. It's unfortunate, this character deserves better.
