Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Tyler Perry branches out from his usual crowd for Alex Cross, an action thriller co-starring Lost‘s Matthew Fox and pieced together by known action director Rob Cohen. Alex Cross is as bad as it looks, sometimes even appearing to be worse than one could imagine. Perry’s bland attempt at being a tough-guy bumps heads with Fox’s beyond-saving psychopath character, making Alex Cross a predictable misfire that rewards the audience with lots of unintentional laughter and action sequences taken directly from the 90s or any other subpar Rob Cohen-directed flick."
