Tale

Serial adaptation of James Patterson’s novels about the complicated and brilliant detective Alex Cross

Hodge is the third actor to play Cross, following Morgan Freeman, who first played him on screen in 1997’s Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which flopped at the box office and led Lionsgate to scrap the planned sequel Double Cross. When I was driving a truck, I listened to James Patterson’s Alix Cross on the Highway a lot, but I don’t remember the story or stories it was based on.

This Detective Cross seemed different than I remembered him

In fact, I think I was in the years when he was working with the feds instead of the city police department. However.

This series had one major flaw for me

It seemed like they were telling too many stories at once. It was confusing at times to see the connections.

Other people here have noted how different Morgan Freeman’s portrayal of Cross was

On top of that, the main villain was almost a supervillain because of how he was ready to hunt down anyone at any time. I agree, and I’d also like to see this Cross act more intelligently most of the time instead of just jerky.
