Kiss the Girls arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Kiss the Girls treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. Forensic psychologist and detective Alex Cross travels to North Carolina and teams with escaped kidnap victim Kate McTiernan to hunt down "Casanova," a serial killer who abducts strong-willed women and forces them to submit to his demands. The trail leads to Los Angeles, where the duo discovers that the psychopath may not be working alone. Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1997. What makes Kiss the Girls hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Kiss the Girls. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Watch Morgan Freeman work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.
