In deze reboot wordt de rol van Alex Cross gespeeld door Tyler Perry en ook Ed Burns is te zien in de film als de partner van Cross. Fox zal te zien zijn als huurmoordenaar die de vrouw van Cross op brute wijze vermoordt.
Hieronder vind je een synopsis van I, Alex Cross.
Bestseller Patterson offers nothing new on a theme he himself has already done to death in his 16th novel featuring detective Alex Cross (after Cross Country), in which Cross takes on yet another barbaric serial killer, this one known as Zeus. Word that an estranged 24-year-old niece, Caroline Cross, has been murdered disturbs Crosss birthday party. To make that horror even worse, the killer fed Carolines body through a wood chipper. Cross soon discovers that Caroline supported herself as a high-price escort for Washington, D.C.s elite, and that other women who served similar clients have turned up missing. Crosss investigation soon attracts the attention of the feds, and he concludes that Zeus is better connected than most of the psychopaths hes brought to justice. A subplot centering on a health threat to another member of Crosss family adds padding. Readers expecting the killer to be identified through insightful profiling will be disappointed.
