Alex Cross

Tyler Perry proves he can be an action hero in the well-made thriller Alex Cross.

Aided by a strong cast, including Edward Burns, Matthew Fox, Rachel Nichols, Jean Reno, Cicely Tyson and supported by the excellent cinematography of Ricardo Della Rosa, the production design of Laura Fox and the skilled direction of Rob Cohen, Perry more than does justice to James Patterson’s novel.

 

Fox plays a psycho-assassin whose assignment is interrupted by Alex Cross’ ingenuity.  He decides to make Cross and his team pay for that.  

That’s all I’ll tell you, except, if you like thrillers, go for the ride.

Alex Cross gets a 4+ out of 5.
