Review For Alex Cross |
Alex Cross is coarse, punishing, and, in all the ways that matter, conscienceless ... David Edelstein-New York Magazine
So cloddish, slapdash, gracelessly written, and visually fugly that it's difficult to distinguish Perry's limitations in the role from those of the whole unpleasant enterprise. Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly
A strong candidate for dumbest film of the year ... Eric Hynes-Village Voice
For a franchise with an off-the-charts nuanced thinker as its protagonist, Alex Cross isn't very smart. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
Perry's supposed to be its center. And as an actor - certainly as a movie star - he's absolutely nowhere to be found. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Tyler Perry finds it easier to step out of Madea's dress than into Morgan Freeman's shoes in the thriller Alex Cross, a trite attempt at franchise building. Peter Howell-Toronto Star
Suffering from delusions of franchise, this is more Scooby-Doo than Silence of the Lambs, and bears all the hallmarks of a cult bad film in the making. Murray Robertson-The List
Instead of the thinky, psychological crime thriller it should have been, Rob Cohen's Alex Cross offers a lifeless and generic actioner. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
Cohen slices and dices the finale so much you cannot fathom it. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
If you crave a genial crime thriller about a forensic psychologist then go and buy a boxset of Cracker. Alex Cross is simply an inexcusable misfire. Ben Rawson-Jones-Digital Spy
A lot of rather unpleasant things unfold, delivered with a consummate laziness that it's terribly hard to engage with. Ross Jones-Morris-HeyUGuys
[Perry] has rarely been less convincing than when locking and loading from his home arsenal or dangling from a decaying Detroit edifice. Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out
The only appeal here is the sick kick of watching a franchise blow itself to bloody stumps. Matt Mueller-Total Film
It doesn't take a detective to determine it's not the fault of Tyler Perry that 'Alex Cross' is subpar. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
The film is crammed with inevitable (and admittedly enjoyable) cop-vs-psycho cliches, yet the proficient, pacy direction by veteran action specialist Rob Cohen keeps the fights, carplay and chases moving at a nifty, time-killing clip. Jim Schembri-3AW
Alex Cross wasn't conceived as spoof, but such poorly written and executed dross is laughable. Michael Simms-FILMINK (Australia)
The screenplay and direction deliver several scenes that are unintentionally funny, being either too leaden or too ridiculous Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
Unsure whether it aspires to be a police procedural, an action thriller, a revenge drama or a buddy movie, Alex Cross is a mess of a film, devoid of tension Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
Alex Cross is clumsily directed, poorly acted, and shoddily scripted to the point that with the right crowd you may find yourself laughing at the all the things wrong with it. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
So many other things are wrong with the wretched 'Alex Cross' that Perry's somnambulistic performance doesn't even crack the top five. Jeffrey Westhoff-Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
It's an embarrassment for all involved. Dominic Corry-Flicks.co.nz
Late-night TV fodder for insomniacs, perhaps, nothing more. Ed Gibbs-The National
The style isn't matched by the substance in a film that strains unsuccessfully to be taken seriously. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Yes, outside of a dress, Tyler Perry is a powerful screen presence. Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer
Are we sure this isn't a TV pilot that accidentally ended up on the big screen? Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review
With each anguished look, each dramatic pause, Perry gives the impression that he has an invisible third hand patting himself on the back for courageously straying from Madea. Betsy Sherman-Boston Phoenix
