My first issue with this movie was their choice of actor to play Alex Cross. While I appreciate Tyler Perry's other work, this character was not a good fit for him. He seemed awkward, forced & very difficult to connect with in this particular movie. The story line itself was difficult to get into as well. I have not read this particular book so I'm not sure how closely they stuck with the story line. But compared to Kiss The Girls & Along Came A Spider, this movie has a long way to go.
