matthew fox is on a totally different wave length than every other cast member in this thing, he's playing the "unhinged sociopathic on a murderous mission" role so wildly over-the-top, it's definitely a sight to be seen. it's a shame that there isn't a better movie surrounding him because other than a maybe one decent key scene not including his "picasso" character, the rest of Alex Cross is pretty fucking heinous. tyler perry is badly miscast, rapey piece of shit director rob cohen adds absolutely no flavour to the screen and there's not nearly enough rachel nichols in this either. check out some matthew fox scenes on youtube, but that's it, stay far away from this turd. Cross this off your watchlist if it's on there, heck, Cross the fucking street if someone is walking towards you and they just so happen to be carrying a copy of this.

Oh my fucking God.
I watched this because I heard Fox's performance is something to witness and as it turns out the people who were saying that weren't wrong. The only thing more insane than him doing whatever he did to look like he does in in this movie is his acting which is so EXTRA. His character - who paralyzes people and tortures them to death and is called Picasso because he draws pictures of them as they are dying in agony - is like a caricature of serial killers in thrillers. Everything about him feels like he belongs in late and shitty seasons of Dexter while everything else here feels like a Lifetime movie.
The editing and direction…
You know how with Sherlock Holmes there's a clear reason behind why he can make the leaps of deduction and logic he does, be it the sociopathic genius IQ or even the extreme amount of opiates he ingests. Well can someone explain to me how Alex Cross manages to figure things out so fast? Because in Rob Cohen's movie of the same name, James Patterson's well known detective seems to just walk into crime scenes and *know* that one killer took out four men or he's able to psycho-analyse the guy based on just looking at him from across the room. It's the kind of lazy storytelling that assumes the audience already know *why* the character can do this, forgetting…
Just really lazy filmmaking, plain and simple. The writing is atrocious, the camerawork makes other shaky cam movies look like masterpieces, and the violence didn't make me feel anything at all. Tyler Perry oscillates between overacting and sleepwalking. Edward Burns… I don't even know what to say about that situation. Matthew Fox was the only one that seemed to care about the film, because he gave a really surprising performance. I was kind of distracted by how emaciated he looked, but he creeped the shit out of me when I wasn't busy trying to stay awake from how clichéd and predictable the rest of the film was. It's bad enough to make me never want to buy a Cadillac or Chevrolet out of pure spite.
The most believable part of this movie was when it took 4 grown men to pull Tyler Perry up from the hole he fell through at the end. What a weird, bad movie. It operates from a position of assuming its audience has seen the other two Alex Cross films and read the James Patterson books. Well, I haven’t, so the idiotic, half-formed world it presented was baffling and largely nonsensical.
This film never makes the slightest effort to explain why Alex Cross is such a great detective, or how precisely he comes to his brilliantly intuitive deductions. Early on, he and his partner, played by the reliably grating Ed Burns, are surveying a crime scene with multiple murder victims.…
An absolute waste of time, both ours as an audience and Matthew Fox’s as an actor. I’m pretty positive just about every review here will say the same thing as what I’m about to. Matthew Fox is absolutely awesome as the film’s villain and everything else sucks around him.
It’s less a movie than it is an extended ABC level TV pilot, thanks to known piece of shit and talentless hack Rob Cohen. It’s an utterly bland, empty movie void of thrills or brains. The Morgan Freeman movies whatever their flaws are at least have a sense of Cross being an actual detective, Tyler Perry just randomly walks into every scene and correctly guesses everything by barely glancing at anything. …
More effort was put into my high school grades then the making of this film. I was hoping it was at least entertainingly bad. Oh well.
Both overwrought and insipid, "Alex Cross" is alternately overdone and underdeveloped. The story of James Patterson's famed forensic psychologist and the killer currently toying with him suffers from too many bad moments (poor acting and dialogue, strange directorial choices, and a stylized look that does not connect with or support its story) and too little quality. The film is a rote cat and mouse thriller featuring characters who are trapped in an unbelievable and undeveloped arc.
"Alex Cross" does have some high points. The film, a times, feels like a throwback to the stylized thrillers of the 80s and 90s; and television doctors Matthew Fox and John C. McGinley rise above the material with respectively crazed and sardonic perfromances. Unfortunately, neither Fox's villain nor McGinley's supporting cop are fleshed out enough to satisfy, and these could-be saving graces are ultimately wasted.
Possibly the only film ever made that would be improved by the addition of Madea.
Maybe Dear Evan Hansen.
DON’T EVER CROSS ALEX CROSS
hideous abomination of a film, like a hallmark tv shitfest but edgier and more frustrating, Mr Matthew Fox is the only interesting aspect since he went fucking OVERBOARD with his hilarious over the top performance, bro truly *lost* his shit in this.
besides fox, puke film
Everyone in this gives a pretty bad performance. It makes it hard to watch
