ALEX CROSS

Movie:  Alex Cross
Jan's Rating:  C+
Time:  1 hour 43 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  I didn't get to see Alex Cross when it was in the Theaters but we rented it last night from Time Warner Cable and it was a pretty good movie.  If you are not familiar with the name Alex Cross, he is the main character in many of James Patterson's books, and we have read them all, so we were naturally interested in seeing the movie.  I believe there have been two other Alex Cross movies made several years ago.  In those movies, Morgan Freeman played Alex Cross.  As much as I like Morgan Freeman, he was too old to play Alex Cross.  In the movie we saw last night, Tyler Perry played the role of Alex Cross and did an excellent job.  Nana Mama was played by Cicily Tyson who was perfect for that role.  I was disappointed that the setting was Detroit, Michigan instead of Washington, DC, where all the Alex Cross stories have taken place.  However, there was a lot of action and my husband and I enjoyed it very much.
