Alex Cross

"In drag or out of it, the soft-spoken star has rarely been less convincing than when locking and loading from his home arsenal or dangling from a decaying Detroit edifice."

"Where Freeman was warm but enigmatic, Perry is warm but empty."

"A disjointed thriller with t0o many characters rattling around."

"As for Fox, he’s stuck playing an underwritten villain with no particular motivation for torturing victims in such gruesome fashion. So he goes way overboard, filling in the gaps with a twitchy, eye-bulging performance worthy of a Razzie Award."

"Cross has a really bad temper, really big guns and really bad dialogue. He will use all of them excessively if pushed."

"You almost feel sorry for Tyler Perry, stepping out of his own universe for the first time to try to expand his range and finding himself in something as thoroughly dismal as Alex Cross."

"Rebooting novelist James Patterson's famous 'Alex Cross' character for the big screen, Tyler Perry aims at new cinematic territory and scores a bullseye as the Detroit detective embroiled in a hunt for a mega-evil killer that turns personal."

"It's downright painful to watch Perry struggle to take over James Patterson's forensic-psychologist hero Alex Cross ..."
