About This Movie

Alex Cross (2012) brings a gritty atmosphere to the crime genre. It's not just about the action; there's a psychological depth to it that you can feel in each scene. Tyler Perry's performance as Cross is interesting, showcasing a blend of intellect and vulnerability, which humanizes the character amid the chaos. The pacing sometimes drags, especially in the setup, but once it gets going, it captures the urgency of Cross's quest for justice. The film's depiction of Detroit adds a layer of realism, with its mean streets serving as a backdrop for the unfolding drama. The practical effects feel grounded, which complements the film's tension. It’s different from typical action flicks, leaning into the detective elements more than the shoot-'em-up style. Definitely worth a watch for those who appreciate darker narratives.
