Alex Cross Movie Review

Based largely on the James Patterson novel “Cross” — the 12th book in the ongoing “Alex Cross” series— it lacks any sense of driving momentum and any sense of originality, which makes it indistinguishable from any run-of-the-mill cops drama.

It’s a shame, because Alex Cross isn’t your ordinary police detective. A homicide investigator and psychologist, he’s got a bit of James Bond to him, along with a lot of Sherlock Holmes. Suave and smart, he relies on his above-average intellect and extraordinary powers of observation to track down the bad guys.

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” his police partner, played by Edward Burns, asks him at one point in mid-investigation.

“I’m always thinking what you’re thinking ,” is the response.
