When ex-military cop Jack Reacher investigates an elite sniper charged with killing five people, he teams up with a beautiful defense lawyer -- and they soon find themselves drawn into a dangerous cat-and-mouse game in this exciting thriller.
Well done action movie. Interesting, well-rhythmed, interesting cast, somehow funny and cynical, dark. I liked it. Ok, the story is still about some American hero and a foreigners mafia, which makes it unoriginal, but the characters are originals. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of "Payback" that I just saw again.

I haven't seen this yet. I'm curious as to how they made Tom Cruise resemble the 8-foot super-tough Giant Haystacks-like figure of Jack Reacher from the novels - must have taken some serious VFX. Of course if they can make Brad Pitt look young in Benjamin Button, they can do anything...
ReplyDeleteI think they made him look like Tom Cruise in any movies: Knight and Day, Mission: Impossible, War of the Worlds, Minority Report... :)
