Jack Reacher
One morning in an ordinary town, five people are shot dead in a seemingly random attack. All evidence points to a single suspect: an ex-military sniper who is quickly brought into custody. The man's interrogation yields one statement: Get Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise). Reacher, an enigmatic ex-Army investigator, believes the authorities have the right man but agrees to help the sniper's defense attorney (Rosamund Pike). However, the more Reacher delves into the case, the less clear-cut it appears.

A poor attempt at a genre remake. Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson are rolling over in their graves. And Clint Eastwood's now envisioning Tom Cruise sitting in the chair...

Very entertaining, thought provoking with the right amount of action to keep you stimulated

I thought this was a good movie. It is one of those movies that has you trying to figure out the puzzle while Jack Reacher is. Its got plenty of action, some really funny one liners and good story. It does have some violence and profanity but it is over all a good movie. If my mom will watch it and likes it, then its definitely not too bad. I personally really like this movie and I will be adding it to my collection. I put ages 14+ due to violence and language.

Some of the violence is a bit heavy at times, but the show was overall a good detective story that was very engaging. The movie has some sexual references but the material beyond that is pretty minimal. There is occasional cursing and 1 f bomb, but I did not feel it was explicit. Worthwhile but I feel it would not be fitting for younger teens.

Reacher is tough, cunning and ruthless. He also is a tortured soul. He pops up in the least expected places and fends off attackers by the dozen. It's a part that would seem tailor-made for Cruise... Despite a terrific cast, this film comes up empty-handed... Read full review here

Even when the film is cool, it manages to be wrong. That’s another stroke of bad luck in a movie whose worst misfortune was to stumble into the middle of anguished national debate about the kind of killer Jack Reacher means only as a plot device... Read full review here

... run-of-the-mill muscular pulp... the movie stumbles around looking for a unifying narrative tone... Read full review here

Reacher is far less enigmatic than he or anyone else in the movie thinks he is. And also less interesting.... the movie’s atmosphere of weary brutality for a few moments, but they also call attention to the dullness of their dramatic surroundings... Read full review here

... Cruise actually does a fair job in the role in "Jack Reacher"... The story unfolds with humor, which is good because it's also heavy with violence... Read full review here

Great Movie - well paced and great murder investigating story line. Enjoyed it much more than the critics.

I went to this movie not expecting much because of the poor review. Thanks negative critics because I was able to be surprised with a great movie. The only thing I can think of that would merit the negativity is how realistic the sniping was depicted. Maybe the timing was a little too insensitive.
