Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Richard Stiles I am a skilled seer of movie flaws, and I saw nothing wrong with this story. It was great, it was unpredictable, it was realistic, it was a ride. Somebody gave me this movie, and my first thought was "Madea as a super-cop? I'm not sure I've got an hour and a half to spare for that." So, I was also guilty of typecasting, before I watched it. But I didn't get stuck on that, I was proven wrong and I'm not ashamed to admit I presumed wrongly about it. I think other folks made the same presumption and are too prideful to admit they were wrong. Also, I think mundane folks get butthurt when creative folks show more than one skill. So, the main star is a joker who's not joking. It's called range, and he should be appreciated for it, not penalized. Some of the criticisms I've seen are far reached for. People determined to bash will find a reason if they have to invent one.
slippyfostel I have enjoyed all of the Alex Cross books I have read by James Patterson. The first Alex Cross movies carried big name actors and a thinking criminal psychologist and profiler who uses his mind and knowledge of criminals to solve cases. Yes, he is active, but not nearly as active as Tyler Perry was in this movie.In fact, Tyler did not do Cross justice. That was not a pun! He didn't get inside the mind of the criminal at all and was so much more active than his predecessor in Morgan Freeman. I understand the choice not to use Morgan. However, Cross is supposed to look somewhat like a lean Muhammad Ali. Tyler was far from that and not even close. This was a sad attempt to make a movie without a real story line and poor casting. Like others said, where were the characters such as John Sampson? Tyler might have made a good John Sampson, but he was not Alex Cross.A better choice would have been Will Smith as Cross. This movie ruined the franchise in my book. It was horrible!
brchthethird Tyler Perry and, to a similar degree, Matthew Fox do the best they can with a mediocre film which suffers from poor writing and direction. The drama and suspense is greatly lacking, and the action is poorly shot in the currently vogue shaky-cam style. The worst instance of this is in the climactic scene, which should have been how the movie ended. This brings me to another fault I have with the movie: the second ending, where Jean Reno's character gets his comeuppance. The scene was completely unnecessary and didn't make too much sense, especially with the way it ties things up a little too conveniently. Honestly, his character didn't even need to be in the movie. Doesn't really deserve a rental or VOD, but it's fairly good for one, mindless viewing.
lbmoniz Lacks the class and drama of previous efforts with Morgan Freeman who is a superior actor. I guess being succinct isn't allowed so I'll have to repeat these lines over again.
