Most notably, casting
The series is an adaptation of James Patterson’s novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross. Hodge is the third actor to play Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first played him on screen in the 1997 film Kiss the Girls and Again; the 2001 sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the titular character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and prompted Lionsgate to scrap its previously planned sequel Double Cross. The Amazon series is starting with a few issues.
Alex is a good choice!
If you’ve read every book in the Alex Cross series, you have your own image of the wonderful characters who come to life right off the page. Like many crossover novel films, these don’t do the characters justice. But John Sampson should be a much bigger man.
Like a wide, big football player
I relate to this Alex more than my favorite Cross. The kids are having fun when they’re younger. But Nana’s mom is too young and I see her as a skinnier lady with a BIG personality and always cooks good comfort food!
No, the package, carrots and celery
Her meals in the warm vintage kitchen were so well written I could taste the cobbler and cookies! Maria only has a small part and it’s not what I imagined she would be. I hope she meets Bree Stone?
Julie Nolan Jersey Julie
The music is off and I can see the friendship between her and Sampson but it’s not as strong as in the novels, I still enjoy it and she fits in as a serial killer, one of many that Det Cross has to bring to justice, it’s just that the plot is a bit confusing and the killer is revealed fairly quickly, I wish there was a season 2, 3 and 4 of the series so the actors could grow into their stories from the novels. They are the heart of Cross’ success! Thank you Amazon for bringing Alex Cross to Prime!
