Alex Cross

What I liked:

• The movie was filmed in Cleveland (although the story takes place in Detroit).  It was cool the see the city in the background.
• It appears that Edward Burns found the fountain of youth because he looks great.
• Dr. Cox!
• Cicely Tyson!

What I didn't like:

• It starts out rough and never gets better.
• The dialogue was awful.  Alex Cross is a character from a James Patterson series and perhaps if Patterson wrote the screenplay, it would have been better.
• Tyler Perry seemed uncomfortable in the role.
• The story was ok but I need more character development for Dr. Alex Cross to believe that he can connect these seemingly impossible dots together.  You can't assume that I read the books that he is based off of or saw previous Alex Cross movies (Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider).
• Matthew Fox was either over acting or totally crazy during filming.  Perhaps maybe a little of both.
• A lot of the fighting scenes were not believable.
• Giancarlo Espositio and Jean Reno did the best that they could with their characters but it wasn't enough.
• A bleach blonde Ingo Rademacher is not a good thing.
