One morning in an ordinary town, five people are shot dead in a seemingly random attack. All evidence points to a single suspect: an ex-military sniper who is quickly brought into custody. The interrogation yields one written note: 'Get Jack Reacher!'. Reacher, an enigmatic ex-Army investigator, believes the authorities have the right man but agrees to help the sniper's defense attorney. However, the more Reacher delves into the case, the less clear-cut it appears. So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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.

An ex-army sniper James Barr kills 5 seemingly random victims. The District Attorney's department seek a confession from Barr, but Barr refuses to accept responsibility and demands that the DA's department find Jack Reacher. Jack soon arrives on the scene and as he delves deeper into the case Reacher uncovers a much wider conspiracy...It's fair to say that Jack Reacher isn't a particularly novel concept and it's also probably fair to say that it has lifted bits and pieces from many other conspiracy films. However, I have to admit that I did find it to be pretty entertaining; director Christopher McQuarrie does a nice job in balancing the story with the action set-pieces meaning that the film has no dull spots.As an actor I've always found Tom Cruise to be rather hit-and-miss; he often brings a cocksure type swagger and arrogance to a lot of his performances which sometimes makes him a little off-putting to watch. He does this in Jack Reacher, but, ironically, I actually think that this performance served this particular film well (Jack Reacher seemed to have a 'not give a crap attitude' to everything so I felt that this approach actually worked in this film). The supporting cast all put in so-so performances with the possible exception of Werner Herzog (who has a rather chilling calmness about him which proves to be occasionally unnerving).The weaknesses with this film lie with poorly developed villains and rather disposable victims whom it is impossible to care for or develop much in the way of sympathy for, but I have to give credit to McQuarrie for making this film mostly work and for providing me with a film that proved to be a fairly entertaining 120 minutes.

OK so this is my first IMDb movie review, jay! Please go easy on me.So I kinda liked this movie, even though it is pretty bad. Ill try to explain why. The movie starts off with a sniper shooting, 5 seemingly random people get killed. They arrest James Mark Barr and it is pretty obvious they got the wrong guy. Lucky for the guy Tom Cruise (Jack Reacher in the movie), whom is hired by the defending (female) attorney is there for him to rescue him from either death row or being imprisoned for life. So this is where the movie starts off, and it is a pretty decent action movie with a nice plot (which is way better than you would expect at the beginning of the movie), some decent villains, and a cool sniper battle. So what do I hate about the movie? Well Tom Cruise's character to be blunt, you just want him to die at the movie because this guy is full of .... Like in: 'look at me, I am so awesome'. If this would be normal life, this is the guy you want to punch in the face.There are a couple of scene's where you think C'mon! He would not do that, that's way too cheesy... But then, he just does not care about your opinion, and does do it anyway. Sure it made me laugh a couple of times, but it took me out of the movie and in my opinion brought the quality of the movie down a lot."He doesn't care about the law. He doesn't care about proof. He only cares about what's right."
