Amateur script, poor performances in 'Alex Cross'
When filmmakers go from Morgan Freeman to Tyler Perry as their leading man, they are definitely trading down.
Yet so many other things are wrong with the wretched “Alex Cross” that Perry’s somnambulistic performance doesn’t even crack the top five.
“Alex Cross” is yet another attempt to reboot a film franchise, although that claim is dubious to begin with. Freeman played Cross only twice (in “Kiss the Girls” and “Along Came a Spider”) more than a decade ago. Two films don’t qualify as a series.
