Review of Jack Reacher (2012) by Tricia M — 01 Sep 2013
This is a very strange movie. It seems like the director was trying to copy an old-style 1980s hard-boiled cop story. The palette of the movie is very old-fashioned and so is the soundtrack. But it doesn't quite work.
Part of the reason is that on some level, the script is supposed to be funny. The Reacher character is preposterously unrealistic and the movie would have worked better if the director had played up the comic aspects of the script.
Still, it was amusing because some of the lines and plot were so bad.
