Tyler Perry steps out of his comfort zone in Alex Cross, but this probably isn't the crossover hit he was hoping for. Critics are absolutely savaging the movie, with more than one writing that Perry would have been better off just playing the title role in drag as Madea. Here's a taste:
- "Just about any schmo on the street could have made a better movie than Alex Cross, an uncommonly awful action-thriller that fails on absolutely every level," writes Rafer Guzman at Newsday. "It feels almost cruel to laugh at such a blindly stumbling, dunderheaded action-thriller, but you won't be able to help it."
