Review of Jack Reacher (2012) by Theoffice — 24 Dec 2012

This is a superb thriller and one of my favorite films this year. Story and characters are both very compelling and it was great to see how Reacher unraveled the mystery. I don't get the negative responses and suspect most probably have to do with a personal dislike of Tom Cruise or that the movie was not exactly like the books.

Regardless, I loved the pacing and thought the action was great and all very realistic. Reacher is also an extremely interesting character to learn about... very intelligent, sarcastic and witty, mysterious, and strong.

He's analogous to James Bond and Cruise does a fantastic job here. I very highly recommend this movie.
