Alex Cross : Movie Review


Consider the tagline "Don't ever cross Alex Cross" a fair warning: creativity is at a premium here. A warmed-over relic from the 90's incompetently directed by Rob Cohen, Alex Cross is a mess from top to bottom. It's bad enough that the villain and story are preposterous, but we get the bonus of unnecessary cruelty (severed fingers, drugs that paralyze, but keep the victim fully aware, and a real mean streak towards women) and a host of failed attempts at humor. The successful ones come, for example, when the notion of a person firing a bazooka with precision from a moving elevated train is taken seriously.
