When I heard that this book was being made into a movie, I didn't know what to expect from it. I haven't been following any news related to this movie. And to be honest, by the time I saw the trailer, I completely forgot about it. When I thought about who'll play Alex Cross, Tyler Perry was definitely not the first person I pictured. I'm not familiar with the book series, so I'm don't know how true his portrayal is to the original character. I think he does fine based on this trailer.
The story on the other hand doesn't seem like something we haven't seen before. Dad works with the police. Sinister bad guy that loves to hurt people. Bad guy threatens good guy's family. Good guy stops him. I feel like I've already seen this movie :(
Overall, the trailer is not that bad, but it shows too much like many trailers nowadays do. If you're anticipating this movie and you don't want to be spoiled, I'd advise against watching this trailer. However, like I said, this film doesn't seem to be offering anything new.
