ALEX CROSS Action Crime Mystery

For those like myself who was wondering where did they get the character Alex Cross?
Well...Alex Cross stems from a series of novels written by James Patterson.This character was previously portrayed  by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls  in 1997 and Along came a Spider in 2001.

When I first saw the preview of this movie I was like, "Yeah, got to have to see this film." However...
This movie was very disappointing! Yes, it was a complete waste of my $20...And am N.B. Tyler Perry, if you're going to jump out your regular character please let that be a leap into a good role in a "good movie". And I didn't say great.."Just good" would be fine.

 So on to my favourite part- dissecting this movie....I'll start first with the ending.

Okay so you hype your audience somewhat with intense scenes and a lot of action only to stop the fighting abrupt? *Scratch my head*...No!!!!!!! This made me feel like y'all were fighting for space with the scenes in the movie. This is not a newspaper this is a film on big screen. Better than that Marc Moss, Kerry Williamson (writers of this film) and Rob Cohen (director). We're in the 21st century, please get real. There are so many camera tricks that could have been used. That scene would have been more enjoyed if you had Matthew Fox aka Picasso fling back up over Tyler Perry aka Alex Cross' head. That would have looked real bad it would have been unexpected and it definitely would have shocked the audience's mind. This scene, where they kill Picasso was worse than the scene in Obsessed with Beyonce and the coo-coo secretary. But don't take my word y'all be the judge. Oh and p.s. I hate watching imitations especially when the original was lame.

On to the climax.

Now clearly this hit man, Picasso is excellent at what he does (which is killing people) so why would he not have a gun or knife for back up?. I get that he likes pain so that explains the fight between Alex and him but professional 'paid' killers always have guns and weapons up their sleeves.


Critique on Intro
I missed the intro so I will not be able to critique that but judging by the end I think it is fair to say that that may have been crap too.

Overall I just was not feeling this show at all. I don't know how the series of novels by James Patterson are but hopefully they are more interesting than the movie or attempt of a movie. I don't  think the characters got into their roles enough. They did not really portray the pain/emotions of these characters. Like the scene with Alex wife dying was poor, not believable at all. Oh yeah and when he was at the church like really? Could they not have put tear drops in both eyes? A man whose wife got killed in front of him should be able to get a bucket full of tears at least.


So I sniffed through the rubbish and I found some positivity.
The killing scenes were awesome. 
Love love Matthew aka Picasso.
My favourite line was, " If you're going after revenge, better dig two holes"-Love it! To the fullest! 

My Ratings:
Do not waste money to go see this in any cinema theatre. I don't care who's paying!
