Unsure

by dannameyer

I'm not really sure how I feel about this movie. I sorta feel like it was a very entertaining B movie. My husband loved it though, so I guess it musta just been me. It was an action packed slap stickish style movie. Very predictable.

typical

by nexdriver

Went and saw this based on the viewer reviews since everyone said it was so great. Well I'll be the honest one here and say it was just okay and very predictable. It didn't start out to bad but then it just kept going with the typical one liners and the typical fight scene at the end ( don't worry I didn't ruin anything for you its a given) . Unfortunately they ended this movie where they could do another one. If they do make another Reacher they'll be lucky if I even watch it on DVD ! My advice is to wait for this one on DVD or better yet on TBS or FX cause the commercials will make it more enjoyable.

Lived up to the novels

by burtontr

Surprisingly, Tom Cruise was very good as Jack Reacher! Loved Robert Duvall's character and leading lady was excellent. I hope they do another one of his books.

It was OK

by Jlee504

Generally the movie had enough action and comedic lines that made it ok. Otherwise the story and the acting was very reminiscent of various 80s and 90s investigative movies and action flicks.

Good not great

by motorcyclemungai

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the acting and action in Jack Reacher. Having never read the books, I found the plot was well laid out and kept you guessing all the way up to the surprise ending. There has been a lot of criticism that Tom Cruise does not fit the character because he is too small, but height is not a part of one's character its a physical characteristic. Cruise delivered a great performance, delivering on the action and humor. This movie is very good but not great, definitely worth seeing.

Reacher

by Mr Critical 205

Tom Cruise has done it again. This character was fascinating, his strange moral code that only he understands was a great touch. His lethal way of handing out justice was great. The only complaint I had was the lead actress, she lacked the chemistry with him other than that it was good couple of hours spent.

Better Than Expected.

by dianedel3

Cruise plays it well. True to the book! Only issues was Reacher was 6'5". They didn't try to make Cruise look taller..... but I did miss that sense of a huge presence.

Jack Reacher is the MAN!

Very entertaining movie. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Tom Cruise doesn't disappoint. Definitely a must see. I've never read the books, but I enjoyed the life of Jack Reacher. Definitely a must see movie. Great story that kept me guessing up until the end. ENJOYED!

Jack Reacher

by lferguson3

A must see for guessing the out come of the movie. Excellent and Tom Cruise was very good in this movie. Not the arrogant actor he was in Top Gun.

FUN

by FLASH1465

I have to rate this a B+. Some of the lines were kinda corny but when the action happened it was worth it. Good chases and fights. I don't mind a little humor with my action (although the bathroom fight seemed cartoonish). I found myself laughing out loud more than once. Decent plot and Tom Cruise worked ...I know that die-hards of the books were looking for someone more like the Rock to play Reacher. To me it seemed more impressive that TC (a little guy) brought a quiet menace and some humor to the part. Go see it.

it was a good movie

by moviecat123

Captured the essence of the books... total bad***! The downside was that he wasn't bigger, taller, like in the books. Tom may be a big name, but that doesn't equel stature.

Not a Tom Cruise fan

by DoubleDX3

I am not a fan of Tom Cruise. That being said, The movie Jack Reacher is a must see if you like Legal Dramas, Fight Scenes, Gun Fights, Car Chases, and/ or Revenge movies. Jack Reacher was written, produced, and edited very well. There is no nudity or sex scenes, so in my opinion older kids could see it if you don't mind them seeing bad guys getting killed. The story lacks any real twits but it is very entertaining. A really good "Guy Flick".

Jack Reacher is the new Charles Bronson

by

This movie was action-packed and suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The car chases were great - I felt like I was in the car with him. Cannot wait for another in this series of movies.
