I haven't seen this since 97. Today as I was wondering what to watch on this rainy Monday, a dark thriller from the 90s sounded good and I got more than I bargained for. This was a great movie! Very well written with good characters, good acting and a good story. The best part is that this doesn't follow your typical story structure. You think you know where this is going and the story unfolds uniquely.
Movies tend to make serial killers much more grandiose than they really are, which I'm fine with, they're movies afterall. And this one seems to push it just a little farther than reality. To the point where it could still happen.
And movies like this can be very heavy and dark. And while the situations are those things the audience isn't put through those emotions.
Morgan Freeman is one of those actors that has a fatherly presence. We all think of him that way and forget how good of an actor he really is. At least I do. Here he really shows his skills off. Alex Cross is a great character too. Different from what we're used to. I always love the characters where their strength comes from their intelligence.
And worth mentioning that Cary Elwes keeps a consistent accent the whole time! He's not in it much but good job Cary!
