Morgan Freeman reprises his role of Alex Cross from "Kiss the Girls".

One plot twist really came as a shock. Never knew it was coming.

After a car accident Alex Cross belives he was the cause of his partner's crash. The crash is done with noticable computer special effects. Later we meet Monica Potter's character a secret service agent as she and her agents watch over a private school, where a senator's daughter is learning. We get to meet Sonjei a teacher who teaches a course in Internet Learning, a pretty strange class. Sonjei is not who he seems. When Sonjei kidnaps the Senator's daughter, he contacts Alex Cross to taunt him into playing his game of profiling criminals. Can Alex figure out who Sonjei is? is he working alone? or is it a part of a bigger conspiracy.

10/10 Chilling story with twists and turns at every corner, and one twist is cleverly hidden in the movie. Morgan Freeman does an exceptionally good job of portraying a police detective who is putting the pieces of the spider web together to solve the crime. Monica Potter looks like Julia Roberts, but certainly doesn't act like her, if Julia was to cancel an acting role, the producers could hire Potter (they could almost be clones).100%/100% a cool opening credits sequence, and very good camera work. 1
