Novelist James Patterson's Police detective and psychologist Alex Cross has already been portrayed on the big screen by Morgan Freeman in Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider. But the time has come for a reboot, and start of a possible franchise, and now we have the trailer for Rob Cohen's Alex Cross, with Tyler Perry in the title role.
It does show a lot of promise, but I'm not completely sold on Perry, who isn't that well known outside of America, mainly because I haven't really seen him in anything else before. Matthew Fox, on the other hand, really surprised me with a complete transformation in look and character than what we are used to from him.
Synopsis: After Washington DC detective Alex Cross is told that a family member has been murdered, he vows to track down the killer. He soon discovers that she was not his first victim and that things are not what they seem.
Released: 19th October 2012 (U.S.)/ 30 November 2012 (U.K./IRl)
