Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

km_staple I know Tom Cruise is a bit of a kook in real life. But I really enjoy his action movies. This is one of the best. A classic action movie, no CGI, great acting and love the humor in it! Highly recommend.

pgbarajas-696-418930 I watched this with my husband last night. It started off well and got cheesy fast. I think the dramatic entry of the cops did it for me, with the camera landing on the black cop who stood there and posed for his entrance shot with gun drawn and his best intense look. Then the female lead - I kept asking my husband, why is she loud whispering all of her lines? After about 1/3 of the movie, hubby hung in there like a trooper, enduring the badness while I jumped on IMDB and started reading reviews. I kept laughing out loud and hubby paused the movie while I read him some of the funnier comments. We were waiting in anticipation for the "drink blood from your boots line" since I had already read about it. It did not disapoint. It was as bad as we hoped it would be. We also re-watched the botched "attack" in the bathroom scene several times while cracking up at the slapstick comedy. How did Jack Reacher walk away after being bashed in the back of his head with a baseball bat? He sat in the tub looking up as if he had just had lunch! But I got two things out of it. One, a fun movie night with my husband and two, I'm going to go out and get some Jack Reacher books right away. I look forward to meeting the REAL Jack Reacher.

slightlymad22 Jack Reacher (2012)Plot In A Paragraph: Jack Reacher (Cruise) digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims.Since I have never read any of Lee Childs novels, I'm not one of the people who bitch that Tom Cruise has no business playing Jack Reacher, the six-five, 250-pound ex-military cop. I just take the movie on face value and from that point Cruise is good in the role, watching it, I didn't need to dispense belief believe that he could do those things. He was totally believable in the role. He is looking a bit older in this movie than his last few movies and I don't recall seeing that famous grin either. So what I think happened was, a bunch of book readers were up in arms about Cruise's casting and slated the movie without seeing it, and a bunch of movie fans who probably never watched the movie slated it, because it was cool too. I thought it was an enjoyable action movie. It's ending is a tad anti climactic, but it's never dull or boring and it does not drag. I didn't even mind Jai Courtney, whom I despise seeing on screen. Thankfully he doesn't speak much, as his accent is awful. Rosamund Pike is really good in what could have been a cliché role.Jack Reacher grossed $80 million at the domestic box office to end the year, the 38th highest grossing movie of 2012.

Ed-Shullivan I tried. I mean I really tried. I just could not keep this picture even remotely believable in my mind with the 5 foot 7 inch Tom "Snooze" as the most dangerous hand to hand combat, martial arts expert, as well as a pot shot sharp shooter sniper. Please give me a break.Then to top it off we witness Tom willing to take on 5 guys in front of the bar he was sitting in a few minutes earlier when he called this young girl "a skank". You would not believe it. You hear legs and arms cracking, and the skanky girl stands there shocked into silence as the 5 men who came to defend her honor over Tom's skank remark.I tell you what was skanky. Almost all of the action scenes that the so called (short stature) action hero, good old boy Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) was in. The plot was thin, and the schlock was thick. Tom was leaving an unbelievable (and I mean that it was unbelievable) trail of chaos and death behind him, as easy as I can slice through butter. I almost fell asleep around the 30 minute mark. I give Jack Reacher a 4 out of 10 rating, and even that is being generous.
