Review of Jack Reacher (2012) by Roy M — 02 Oct 2013

I understand that some violence was necessary to establish the plot, i.e., mimicking the Zodiac or the Texas Tower incident, but after that the movie went overboard with the graphics. I think that this was mainly to show that Tom Cruise is macho.

Also, there were several places in the film that I had to reverse the DVD and play again some dialogue that I didn't understand due to soft speaking or mumbling by both Cruise and Rosamund Pike. Pike was OK as an attorney, Cruise was not OK as Reacher.
