Alex Cross is coarse, punishing, and, in all the ways that matter, conscienceless ...
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
So cloddish, slapdash, gracelessly written, and visually fugly that it's difficult to distinguish Perry's limitations in the role from those of the whole unpleasant enterprise.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
A strong candidate for dumbest film of the year ...
Eric Hynes, Village Voice
Rotten
For a franchise with an off-the-charts nuanced thinker as its protagonist, Alex Cross isn't very smart.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
