I liked him, but I liked his old man Liam Neeson better. And he dies five to ten minutes into the film, from an arrow to his big brass balls.
I remember watching that TV show as a kid and being aware that something was wrong but not really knowing what it was. Then one day my mom (who was on the couch behind me) said "He's too old." And then I realized that that was it. Stacey Keach has a nice voice but he looks more like someone's Dad than a hardened detective.
Shes what Tonya wishes she looked like. Amy Schumer or Amy Adams would have been a better pick physically.
I still can't get over this scene looks like a bad SNL sketch. Like wtf was Viola Davis trying to do here? She either overexaggerated on purpose as some sort of "fuck you" because she didn't like the scene in question or she really is that unhinged in RL? You've seen her subdued so many times in performances so I wonder if this was a director's decision? So absolutely bizarre. And if Michelle did really berate Barry like this and this isn't fanfiction then damn.
You get in the way of Big Mike spending money and you best believe you are getting a fucking mouthful. More than once.
His only good role other that Ferris is Glory. He doesn't really have much acting range. That said did anyone at the time think the Malcolm dad could pull off Emmy award performances either?
Ray Liotta was supposed to be in The Substance instead of Dennis Quaid, just as a fun fact. Crying shame that never happened. Also, he was initially gonna be Tony Soprano, and, in a way, he did end up joining The Sopranos... by being Christopher's grandpa in Many Saints.
I think Along Came a Spider is the worst major studio release I've seen.
And they did half the hero’s job by just showing up at the end and revealing their plans for no reason. And Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman somehow starred in most of these?
The sequel of The Craft had also a tranny as one of the girls of their coven. Which aside from being laughable, you'd think the magic would recognise one is not like the others and wouldn't work.

Eh, I dunno, I'm kind of looking forward to watch the Alex Cross series sometime. Never given myself the time to watch The Bone Collector. And, as I said, there seemed to be this 4+ year erection of casting Morgan Freeman in whatever-the-fuck he'll agree to be in. Even The Shawshank Redemption, and, I'm not an expert on the novel, but "Red" Ellis Boyd is supposed to be a ginger freckled guy. They got the freckles right, and I do still chuckle at this exchange, which is a slight nod to the book:I think Along Came a Spider is the worst major studio release I've seen.
Kiss the Girls was shitty, too, with its killer played by Cary Elwes, in the most "who cares" casting I can think of.
Spider kicks off with some irrelevant plot where a guy drives his convertible off the Hoover Dam or something because he's too busy trying to get a blowjob. It's like a Zucker parody. And yeah, Alex Cross' partner falls off the dam and that’s supposed to haunt him...except it never quite comes up again?
The '90s were a rough time for thrillers, where the "twist" was ALWAYS that the bad guy is a fellow cop.
We know Freeman can do better (Se7en) so let’s just blame Alex Cross.
For instance, I've also seen The Bone Collector, which has a Rear Window-type plot where Denzel plays a paraplegic giving orders through a headset, and it had some tense moments, even though it suffered from the same cheesy pitfalls as most of those flicks. Alex Cross is just terminally dull, I don’t think it would’ve mattered who played him.
Branagh was fine as Poirot. Good, even. He had to cancel out Depp and Godot who drifted through like bad perfume ad.
