Cruise Control!

"You think I'm a hero, I'm not a hero. I'm a drifter with nothing to lose."

Tom Cruise plays Jack Reacher, a rough ex-military cop who is enjoying early retirement in near paranoid solitude. When a former army sniper, James Barr expertly shoots and kills five random people at PNC Park in Pittsburgh during broad daylight, the police are quick to arrest him.

Barr claims to be innocent however, and writes "Get Jack Reacher" on a notepad after he is brutally attacked by fellow inmates while the police are transporting him. Cruise gives a credible and engaging performance as the rough and tough investigator with a mysterious past who soon realizes the stakes are much bigger than what he signed up for when he attempts to solve the cold-blooded murders and motive behind it. Armed with qu...

Cheverolet SS makes up for a dull flick

One of my least favorite Tom Cruise movies, however loved the car he drove er stole in this. Ahhh yesss the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS made this often boring film worthwhile in my books with a good couple of car chases to boot. Ok the movie wasn't bad i just thought it would be so much more then what was offered expecially after seeing the kickass trailer that was brought out for it last year. Still love Cruise to death as he remains in my top 10 fave actors of all time list, something i dont fore see changing unless maybe i watch 3 or more duds like this back to back but his filmography, aside from a few duds here and there, is quite good.

Tom portrays title charector Jack Reacher who is a rogue attourney gone awol from the world who reappears after an ex miltary sniper goes bal...

Jack Reacher review

Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) is a sniper trying to rescue a girl and was eventually framed. A simple plot yet prolonged by in adequate screenplay and including an underutilized Robert Duvall. The score was suspenseful and bountiful well choreographed action was in full display. This however was affected by the slow pace and uneven direction. Cruise played his part sincerely but as mentioned, it falls short as a whole. Jack Reacher is an average action movie that could have been so much better in the script and direction.

An Inconsistent Action-Comedy-Noir

There's parts of Jack Reacher that are incredible and hint at the great film it could have been. The film's best scenes are neo-noir - echoing Chinatown and The Untouchables. Tom Cruise spits out dark monologues, tinged with sarcastic humor. The film loses its grasp, though, when it devolves into a convoluted and poorly executed plot, which often results in forgettable villains and repetitive exposition. The action scenes are intense and believable and, the film's only consistent draw. The film is never boring, as it bounces along with enough mixture of comedy and action to be entertaining, but, it's the type of film that is easily forgotten after a viewing, with no consistent thematic material, overly compelling performances, or strong visual scenes to stick with the viewer.
