Finished new Cross series. Very very good IMO. Hard R. Acting was great —spoiler
writing was good. A few things were predictable but overall I can’t complain. The only thing I thought was silly was the end when Alex drops off his friend a mile from the house to run through the woods with guns in an area they didn’t know and to wait 10 MINUTES!!! That’s a writer that has never gone hiking. No one is running with gear through the woods at that pace and then going to get set up to take a shot with accuracy. Maybe I’m wrong. I thought half a mile would have made far more sense. But that’s picky.
I’m attaching this review because of how stupid it is. I got no problem with it saying that this Alex Cross was heavily influenced by black culture. It was and it was good. But the whole crap about black and religious conversion and no longer eating pork as something only a black man would understand is stupid. That wasn’t some type of racist leadership by a white woman. That was just poor leadership by an individual who happened to be a white woman.
I swear some people look for racism if they think you breathe funny.
There was plenty of racist vibes in the movie and it did have some very liberal crazy views on law enforcement. But overall this was good.
