This is the first trailer for “Alex Cross.” Before we get to the plot, let’s just pause for a second and wonder aloud what the hell happened to Matthew Fox.

Here's what it's all about:

After Washington DC detective Alex Cross is told that a family member has been murdered, he vows to track down the killer. He soon discovers that she was not his first victim and that things are not what they seem.

Ohhhhh, intriguing.

The thriller comes out October 19.
