Summaries

Plot Summary

Alex Cross is a 2012 American action crime thriller directed by Rob Cohen and written by Marc Moss and Kerry Williamson. Based on the 2006 James Patterson novel Cross, the film is the third screen appearance of the Alex Cross character, following Morgan Freeman's portrayals in Kiss the Girls (1997) and Along Came a Spider (2001), and functions as a reboot of the series. Tyler Perry plays Dr. Alex Cross, a forensic psychologist and Detroit police lieutenant, and Matthew Fox plays the film's antagonist, a sadistic contract killer known as Picasso. The cast also includes Edward Burns, Rachel Nichols, Jean Reno, Cicely Tyson, Carmen Ejogo, and Giancarlo Esposito. The film was shot in Cleveland, Ohio, standing in for Detroit. The film was released in the United States on October 19, 2012, by Summit Entertainment, and grossed approximately $34.6 million against a $35 million budget, making it a commercial disappointment. A planned sequel was cancelled. Core themes include moral limits, justice, family, and the cost of pursuing violent criminals. The film is for audiences drawn to crime thriller procedurals.
