Washington Post
Freeman fills Cross's gumshoes with distinction. - 75
Portland Oregonian
The perfect thriller. Nothing too gross to creep you out. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Freeman gives his overwrought, over-familiar scenes an unlikely shot of intelligence and dignity that cuts through the formulas and almost makes them work. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
A few loopholes I can forgive. But when a plot is riddled with them -- I get distracted. - 50
Los Angeles Times
A reasonably diverting albeit frequently improbable thriller. - 50
Film.com
As executive producer of the film, he (Freeman) clearly sees something in Alex Cross, a man much more interesting than the cheesy plot surrounding him. - 50
Boston Globe
Efficient, but in the end quite pedestrian. - 40
New York Magazine (Vulture)
There's not much here for a great actor to sink his teeth into once, let alone twice.
