Prime Video recently dropped that highly anticipated first clip and also displayed additional promotional material in which they showcased that amazingly brilliant mind of Alex Cross! That scene showcases those rare, uncanny abilities Cross uses when interrogating; this involves a surprisingly unconventional method to unravel even the most hardened criminal: That's right; he’s using Shakespeare’s Macbeth! A surprising method! Yet its surprising effect shows that even experienced criminals couldn't fool Cross’s highly honed intellect; leaving those watching even the smallest clip totally impressed.

The clip’s brilliance is shown immediately. Initially, this suspect shows surprising cockiness – but then this smugness completely disappears as Cross pulls apart a phrase he uses; directly tying it to Macbeth and completely proving his guilt, the implications demonstrated with superb timing. This leaves viewers utterly impressed by those insightful, uncanny skills!

This scene’s a testament to Cross’s intellectual prowess and keen observational abilities; he isn't some simple run-of-the-mill detective who simply chases down suspects in mundane locations! This isn't that kind of show! That exclusive insight reveals so much; this incredible genius detective goes deeper and leverages advanced training in psychology to understand those suspects! This isn’t just intellectual dominance: He uses his experience and training; his analytical skills, coupled with other traits that elevate him to truly great levels!

This scene includes some important aspects which suggest a lot regarding this whole series! That analytical skill is superb; coupled with that engaging, supremely charismatic nature; yet a potential pitfall: Cross's confidence has limits and may even possibly prove disastrous down the road, that risk greatly adds a critical thematic component to this production that other productions don't often try to attempt.

Our Take on that First Clip: Will Alex Cross Become Another Big Success for Prime Video?

This new Alex Cross is far different than what we might have seen previously from prior adaptations: This one completely nails it by showing this more sophisticated, thoughtful, intelligent persona–far closer to Patterson’s novels and better than that Tyler Perry film from 2012. The brief, yet exceptionally well-executed glimpse gives plenty of reasons to believe the show is worth paying attention to; giving even those not intimately familiar with the novels enough to easily draw themselves into this highly intense and thought-provoking crime drama.
