generationofswine Kiss the Girls had a heck of a lot going for it.Morgan Freeman, you have to give it a chance. Think about it, has the man ever been young? Yes? No? I've never seen him anything but old, but who cares, I've never really seen him do a bad job either.And now he's the new Leonard Nimoy isn't he? The narrator of absolutely everything. The voice of countless documentaries.Ashley Judd, not exactly a bad actress is she? Sure, in the 90s she may have kinda sorts looked like a clone of Jolie, but she always did a far better job. No matter what the movie she's been solid.Cary Elwes, why isn't he in more movies? He's sort of like a British Errol Flynn, totally fun to watch and a great sense of comedic timing. What was he doing in a movie like this? Who cares, we'll add that to the reasons to9 watch it anyway.And then, in small print, you see the name, you see that name: James Patterson. You almost have to cringe whenever you read it.Ever been on a long flight? You've probably read one of his novels and if you have it's been out of a sick desperation to kill time.James Patterson, yeah, world famous for making the clichéd crime novel. The same clichéd crime novel. Sure, the names change, the crime changes, but in the end it's like the cheap procedurals you watch on TV. Every one you watch is almost exactly like every other one you will and have ever seen.Unfortunately, despite the cast, the James Patterson effect takes hold of "Kiss the Girls" and you walk out of the theater with that irritating sense of deja vu. You've been there before, you've gone to that movie before, and in a few short days this film is going to blend in a confusing mess with all the other films you've seen that were almost exactly like it.

2karl- heres a film straight out of a thriller book called kiss the girls by James Paterson a great author for twist in his book so in this film we see that Alex cross played by an excellent Morgan freeman searching for his his niece but with unsolved cases of missing women Alex loves solving the insolvable but with time running out the rest of the cast we Dr Kate mctiernan who is a doctor but is person who likes sports but is feisty character played by Ashley Judd but as we cut back to women being takes Casanova a great lover of collectible items of dreamshis plans for the women he took in his lair being carefully no give the evidence away but with a twist in the tale he plans his next victim but when one of them escapes .she makes it known that she that Alex crosses niece can be got but in a race against time to figure out where she was an who was holding them but with a film like this you don't know who the good guy or bad guy is so figuring out will leave a twist and shock you as the scenery is beautiful shot in the deep south this is a good stylish thriller that will leave you wanting a sequel 7/10and my 90 review

SpikyRaindrop I really liked this thriller with Morgan Freeman in the lead role. All characters where likable and the plot had just enough twists, action and investigation.Morgan Freeman plays his role excellent and that's the same case for Ashley Judd. They bring us just enough suspense to keep me bothered. I actually cared for Kate and I really liked her. The only thing in this movie was a bit vague, was the continuity. Sometimes the cut scene's left me a bit puzzled, they weren't fluent. Then we where there, and then there, oh and now where here.Somewhere in the middle of the movie, I got the feeling I know who the murderer was, and I was not wrong. But that didn't bother me. I like thinking away during the investigation in the movie and what the ending is. I am still in awe after the ending.

RavenGlamDVDCollector Not bad as a movie by itself, but shied away from the hard-hitting book which, if filmed properly, would have been the foundation for a really creepy, really controversial film with a 2 - 21 age restriction. Instead, this lukewarm, pretentious drivel that is an absolute letdown. Okay, the book is gruesome, cruel, vicious, everything dark and menacing, and it is the absolute opposite of family-friendly and politically correct, but if that is what you want, go see a Walt Disney movie. Instead, just like American PSYCHO, the movie is a tepid mess compared to what it could have been.I'd have suggested pegging it down a notch or two for the silver screen, but they brought it all the way down to virtually nothing shocking at all. That first scene with the girl being led through the deep woods had the absolute feel of the book to it, but cut away to the aftermath crime scene too quickly. Read that particular 'juggling' scene in the book, and understand what should at the very least have been there. How can I put it lightly for those with tender sensibilities, and who then shouldn't be at this movie's screening in the first place? Psychologists would call it rejection, but as a way of a final bit of abuse, the killer availed himself to juggling the girl's bare breasts before murdering her. She cried and pleaded all the time. I full well realize the cinema industry would have balked at that sort of thing, but much of it could have been off- camera, as long as this defining scene that absolutely needed to be there, wasn't omitted entirely. But film-makers were keen to cash in on the success of the novel without being willing to commit something at least a whole lot more heinous to film.Need we talk about the snake? This would have been way over the top for almost all audiences, but again, the graphic detail need not have been shown. I don't think I am at liberty to discuss this any further on a politically-correct family site, so just read the book, and prepare to enter a nightmare.If you don't wanna walk the walk, film something else. Leave a thrilling, suspenseful read alone, you are discrediting it.
