Frank O. gave it a7:
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.
Andrew M. gave it a 5:
Kiss The Girls is not a good film, nor is it a bad film. It is something of a Libran film, symbolised by scales. On one side of the scales we have the good aspects of the film, on the other the bad. And, like all true scales when used correctly, both sides balance perfectly. Taking a closer look at the scales, we notice that representing the things done well side is Mr Morgan Freeman, for yet another typically solid performance. Along side him the beautiful Miss Ashley Judd, for the professionalism and quality she brings to every role, not just this one. Keeping them company we have a talented cinematographist, incisive screenwriter (who's relatively wasted here) and of course, a superb novelist. On the other side of the scales representing things done not-so-well, keeping the union in harmony, is an inconsistent director, sloppy editor and ignorant producer(s) who have not the faintest inkling for the atmosphere and structure of the novel. In my belief, errors that plagued the adaptation of Along Came A Spider have unfortunately tainted this one too. Hopefully James Patterson will have the desire and means to avoid a third disappointment....
