Review by Bob Ignizio
Detective/psychologist
Alex Cross (played by Tyler Perry, he of all those “Madea” plays
and movies) has observational skills that appear to rival those of
Sherlock Holmes. Sadly, his abilities have made him more than a bit
cocky, which leads to tragedy after Cross stops cold blooded assassin
Picasso (Matthew Fox) from killing his target. Cross figures the
killer for a professional primarily interested in taking out Detroit
businessman Leon Mercier (Jean Reno). He's not prepared when Picaso
makes things personal by going after Cross's wife Maria (Carmen
Ejogo) and Monica (Rachael Nichols), an officer on Cross' team.
Keeping the chain of cause and effect going, this sends Cross and his
partner (and best friend since grade school) Tommy (Edward Burns) off
on a mission of vengeance to take down the psychopathic hit-man.
