I can safely say I can't live without James...not the ex-hubby of Kris but Patterson that is. He is my most favorite author along side J.K. Rowling. His fictional character Alex Cross is definitely the most popular. Many months ago I discussed with my dermatologist my wish to see in movies or TV series Alex come alive. Unknownst to me, two movies were already made with Morgan Freeman as Alex: Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. I should and must have copies of these.
Today, I fought the sleepy head in me and watched a movie alone,I am getting used to it,really. ALEX CROSS based on the novel Cross by Patterson of course. Knowing that James is also a producer of the said movie, I had high expectations and boy, they did not disappoint. The first scene was already action-packed. The usual ingredients and twists of James's novels were carefully placed and executed on widescreen. I barely know the actors who portrayed the characters, not even the "Alex". Inside the theater, I felt it was an eyeball with Nana Mama, Alex's kids Janelle and Damon and everything in between in Alex's existence..Alex Cross was indeed tall and big as has been depicted in the novels.
The movie is worth my penny and time, call me bias. Let me tell though not even those who are non-readers of Patterson will surely appreciate the movie especially those who have penchant for suspense-action plot. And yes, James is terrific as well in adding substantial heart and emotion.
Come and see the movie.
