I’ve enjoyed reading James Patterson’s Alex Cross series
Synopsis
James Patterson’s series of novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross. Hodges is the third actor to portray Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first portrayed him on screen in the 1997 film Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 film sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in the 2012 film Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and caused Lionsgate to scrap its previously planned sequel Double Cross.
Aldis Hodges is the perfect Alex Cross
As a fan of the character, when I heard that the books were being adapted into a TV series, I was worried that everything I loved about the books and the characters would be ruined, as is the case with most film/TV series adaptations. I can say that my concerns were unfounded.
This duality is crucial to portraying Cross authentically
Hodge has a commanding physical presence, which is essential for a character who is often portrayed as both a brilliant thinker and a man who can hold his own in physical confrontations. His performance reflects a deep understanding of James Patterson’s novels.
His performance is likely to appeal to both longtime fans of the character and newcomers
He captures the essence of Cross’s character as a brilliant detective driven by a strong sense of justice. Overall, Hodge’s portrayal of Alex Cross combines skillful acting with a strong emotional core, making him an excellent choice for the role in the series.
Cross captures the essence of James Patterson’s novels with a gripping story, depth of character, and a suspenseful plot that will appeal to both longtime fans and new viewers
