The perfect thriller. Nothing too gross to creep you out.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Efficient, but in the end quite pedestrian.
Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
A reasonably diverting albeit frequently improbable thriller.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
If Michael Wincott -- who under normal circumstances can chill your blood just by breathing -- can't make the villain compelling, you know the movie's in trouble.
Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan
Freeman fills Cross's gumshoes with distinction.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
Freeman gives his overwrought, over-familiar scenes an unlikely shot of intelligence and dignity that cuts through the formulas and almost makes them work.
New York Magazine (Vulture) by Peter Rainer
There's not much here for a great actor to sink his teeth into once, let alone twice.
As executive producer of the film, he (Freeman) clearly sees something in Alex Cross, a man much more interesting than the cheesy plot surrounding him.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
A few loopholes I can forgive. But when a plot is riddled with them -- I get distracted.
San Francisco Chronicle by Wesley Morris
Relentlessly bland.
