I can't claim to be a particular avid fan of these types of movies, but Morgan Freeman being in the movie was sufficient enough to make me sit down and watch "Kiss the Girls".Story-wise, then "Kiss the Girls" was as generic and average as these crime mysteries go. There was not really anything overly innovating here or anything that made you go 'whoa, that was impressive'. And the movie is suffering under this.The story is your average story about a serial killer who kidnaps people, and then one man decides to track him down as he is closely tied to one of the kidnapped girls.Right, nothing that hasn't been done or seen before in other movies.However, I will say that Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes and Tony Goldwyn really performed quite well, and they managed to make "Kiss the Girls" watchable. There was also a bunch of other familiar faces to be seen throughout the movie, and that did spice it up a bit.But this movie didn't really rock my boat, and I have to settle on a very mediocre five out of ten stars for this crime mystery movie. The reason for this is that it was so predictable, generic and offered no surprises throughout the almost two hours that is runs. There are far better crime mystery movies available, and this one follows the 'how-to-make-a-crime-mystery' guidebook without any deviation.

Currently rated at 6.5 on IMDb. Too many poor movies in the range 5.5 to 6.5. And some truly abysmal ones.This is not a poor movie. It has it's flaws, particularly the handwriting discovery towards the end - just not believable. But all round this is a good movie. Don't discard it based on the current IMDb rating. It is definitely worth watching. Both Freeman and Judd turn in great performances, as does Cary Elwes. Jeremy Piven and Tony Goldwyn put in their usual competent work, but they only appear briefly. The storyline has some nice twists, too. There are lots of good reviews here if you want to know more about the film. Mine is just to encourage you to not dismiss it out of hand.

Kiss the Girls is a good movie with a well written plot and a talented cast. Morgan Freeman delivers a great performance as Alex Cross, conveying the redemptive spirit and intellect he has very naturally, he suited the role perfectly and I think fans of the book would be pleased, he brings a realistic feel to the dark life of a detective. It was, on the other hand, light on real suspense, the most thrilling bits are the things you only hear about, not see. I also felt that there was far too much spoon feeding going on. The plot is simple but it is as if the writer and director thought it was so complicated that everything needed to be dumbed down for the audience, it never let us use our own imagination and get a feel for what was going on by ourselves. I found Ashley Judd very unconvincing, for the things her character undergoes she never seems traumatised by it at all, she is at ease all the time, I do not think she is a poor actress, but she simply is not vulnerable enough for that role All in all, Kiss the Girls is an enjoyable film that is worth the watch if you are looking for a good crime or mystery, just do not expect perfection. A forensic psychologist tries to snare a killer of young girls, helped by the only woman to flee him.Best Performance: Morgan Freeman / Worst Performance: Ashley Judd
