    David Klass, the screenwriter, gives Freeman and Judd more specific dialogue than is usual in thrillers; they sound as if they might actually be talking with each other and not simply advancing plot points.
  2. 75
    It features a pair of well-developed characters, the plot contains some clever twists and turns, the dialogue is reasonable, and director Gary Fleder (Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead) keeps the level of tension and intrigue high. Put together, all of that adds up to a worthwhile motion picture.

    Replete with smart, capable characters and crimes so bizarre that they lend the film a suspiciously lurid nature, this tony suspenser is hampered by the presence of a villain who is all too obvious from the very beginning.
  4. Here's the kind of movie thriller that can make you scream (in annoyance) and bite your nails (to pass the time) and sit on the edge of your seat (ready to bolt the theatre).

  1. this film may be a bit old but it was still good, the actors were brilliant but that is expected by Morgan Freemon. the plot is clever but you can tell what is coming in the film (well if you have a brain) and this does sort of wreck the film this is why more score is not higher. i thought it was a developed film with good actors and good plot Expand

    Morgan Freeman shines as Alex Cross in this adaptation of a James Patterson's thriller novel. Ashley Judd is good as 2nd character..movie was too long but plotline kept it going. Expand
  3. The plot plays out well, and Kiss the Girls has some thrills for sure, but all through the movie, I couldn't help thinking how good it could've been with Denzel as Cross. Expand
