Kiss The Girls
In KISS THE GIRLS, a North Carolina police detective Dr. Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) tracks an elusive psychopath whose modus operandi is not necessarily killing the young women he abducts but "collecting" them as trophies. Unfortunately, his quarry includes the detective's own law-student niece, so his race against time, with the help of a no-nonsense medical intern Dr. Kate McTiernan (Ashley Judd) who escaped the "collection," is all the more desperate. The film is a spare, by-the-numbers thriller, based on the series of novels by James Patterson.

This screen adaptation of James Patterson's suspenseful bestseller is all surface gloss with little real substance. It gets by thanks to the atmospheric photography and great performances from Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd. Freeman plays a forensic psychologist whose niece has been abducted by a serial kidnapper known as “Casanova”; Judd is the only woman to have escaped from the villain's secret lair. Can Judd overcome her drug-induced amnesia and guide Freeman to the culprit? All logic and credibility completely disappear as the conclusion nears, and the kidnapper's identity is relatively easy to guess, but it's still a compelling enough thriller, despite its many weaknesses.

As a avid James Patterson reader I was thrilled to find a film made from his book of the same name. Whats more Morgan Freeman playing my favourite detective.
The film is not as dark as the book, probably a good thing, but stays true to the storyline.
Now I'm just waiting for the rest of the Alex Cross series being transformed to filmed, as I cant read a book now without picturing Morgan Freeman in the role.
If you like this one you'll love 'Along Came a Spider'. -
