Alex Cross

Based on a novel by James Patterson, and the same character as played by Morgan Freeman.

This seems to be a reboot, I suppose, with Tyler Perry in the title role. Judging from the trailer, though, this looks pretty f*!$ing cool.

I've read a few of the Cross books. Even made an NPC in one campaign based on him. Had the PCs helping him track down a serial killer.

Can't watch the trailer from work, is it based on any of the books in particular?

Sorry I just don't buy Tyler Perry as an action hero. I just find him very wooden. He makes the same "stoic face" in almost every scene in the trailer.

Also the whole "genius serial killer" has been done to death, and much better than what I've seen from this movie. It's really a tired genre by now, IMHO.

I believe it is. Maybe a new one. Can't remember.

According to the Trailer you linked it is based on the novel 'Cross'.

Sadly, IMO the trailer looks extremely bland, so much that it feels- like I had seen every visual before and heard every sentence uttered in more than one other generic serial killer movie.

Tyler Perry should have played both Alex Cross and a female serial killer named Medea...
