That was an excellent one.

Beautiful, moving film.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Blistering performances.

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.

Tom Cruise just believes he was made for action roles such as Jack Reacher. After all, it seems those are pretty much all the roles I have seen him in during the last few years. (Not being a Tom Cruise fanatic maybe I missed some of his more dramatic roles?)With military snipers all the rage, it's not surprising the movie revolves around the killing of several people by a sniper in a US city. In comes a beautiful lawyer who just happens to be the District Attorney's daughter to defend the accused; then throw in uber detective macho man drifter, gun fighter, ex-soldier (and martial artist too!) Jack Reacher and we have the makings of an action movie. Gripping at times, predictable at others but eminently watchable as action movies go. But only if you enjoy action movies with a little bit of gratuitous violence ... because if you're searching for a Sundance Film Festival movie then Jack Reacher is not the one!

Several people get shot at random but in one action...Why and the story starts. This was my third viewing and I still enjoy it. Don't ask me about the book, was there one? I'm told yes there is one and the guy in it is huge! Wow I hope the readers enjoyed this. But frankly dears, I don't give a dime, I enjoyed the film as it is, I liked Tom in it, I like Rosamund P too and had a great time re-watching this, catching a few more details. I did not find it perfect. I did not expect it to be perfect so, for me all is good. Yes there was some unexpected semi comic portions that weren't really needed but what the heck, packages often come with extra. Yes this and that could have been done differently...Isn't this always the case anyway? Have a go at it, the chances are you will have a good time.

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."
