The books have the added element of criminal profiling and there's nothing more fascinating than psychology and what makes people tick.

The last Alex Cross film we saw had Morgan Freeman in the lead role so Tyler Perry had some very large shoes to fill. The story line was one we had read but there were some changes which is to be expected in a Hollywood film script but nothing too disturbing. So this Alex Cross was good however he was little more active and less cerebral than the Dr Alex Cross in the books. The real star of the movie is Matthew Fox who plays "The Butcher of Sligo", a psychopath who is an assasin with a penchant for inflicting pain before dispatching his assignments. He also doesn't enjoy being challenged so the interference by Alex Cross and his team mean they become part of the game and are also hunted.

We enjoyed the film for its fast action and to see an excellent psychopath at work
