Answer this question: how did “Alex Cross” get a wide
theatrical release? By all rights this film should have skipped over that
entire process and gone straight to video without passing “Go” or any of the
other clichés. Is it solely because of Tyler Perry? If so, good for him,
because this movie has nothing else going for it. Okay, that’s not entirely
true. “Alex Cross” is often hilarious, though unintentionally so. It’s like
watching a caricature of an action movie. You keep waiting for a punch line
that never comes.
