tom cruise

by ginou

been wanting to see tom cruise in something different, and i liked his character in Jack Reacher, but I have seen him in better movie roles! If you are a tom cruise fan, go because you are loyal, but if not, you can wait for the video!

Great movie!

by ambles.kwok

I love it ... I didn't know Rosamund Pike is playing, that's a real pleasant surprise.

The only thing I don't like is some of the missing details. E.g.: in the last scene, Tom is soaking wet after a gun fight outside, but when he enters the trailer, he doesn't have a single drip of water??

Jack Reacher

by gbpackerfan

Haven't read the book yet, but usually the book is better so I have something to look forward to. I wasn't really sure if Cruise could pull it off, but he did a great job. Duvall was classic Duvall. Highly recommend seeing this movie.

Mystery suspense action character

by Wandmaster

if you liked the books, you will like the movie, which portrays Reacher as fans of Lee Child's novels know him (yes, Cruise is too small, but he pulls it off well). A well done, well paced, well filmed well plotted mystery suspense story, with interesting characters. Robert Duvall does a nice turn as a retired Marine Gunny and Cruise brings Reacher to life in as credible a way as can be done for such an incredible character.

Happend to go with friends but was not originally going to watch. Pleasantly surprised.

by wonder_chimp

Ok ok I was one of those that was making fun of the trailers and had not desire to actually watch. Some friends were going so I just went along. Boy was I wrong. This movies was actually pretty interesting and at times gripping. Tom Cruise pulled off a really interesting character in this. Former military and lives off the radar but has his own strong moral sense of right from wrong. The investigative sequences were pretty interesting and the cast was ok. Overall had pretty interested through the caper. Some of the fighting sequences were predictive while others were really cool, tense, and at times funny. Overall I liked it and was definitely worth watching on the big screen.

Jack Reacher delivers.

by

I thought I would be seeing action but a shallow story line. Boy was I wrong. Jack Reacher has a strong storyline and great action balance.

Some great action, not enough

by pedsarq

I enjoyed the car chase and the shoot-outs between Reacher and an old marine vs. the bad guys. There's also a lot to be said for the premise that Reacher is a sort of Punisher making his way from one bad guy to the next, exacting justice and vengeance for the good guys. However, the story in this film is weak and the conversations are pointless, even when the investigation in moving along. This movie isn't for everyone, but there's some valuable junk here for the hardcore action fan.

Fire the Crtitcs

by momof5

I've decided that critics are just people looking for acknowledgement rather than truly giving us a critique about a movie....who really cares about their opinion anyway. This was a great movie! Fun, funny and a lot of action.

The movie made you think, it had a good plot and kept you interested all the way through the movie. Lots of action and at times you were on the edge of your seat. I would go see it again and again. My kind of movie.

Why Tom Cruise?

by Nutt32

I was so excited to see this movie. The previews make it look like a thrill ride from start to finish. I was let down though all the clever parts and good action sequences are shown in the previews. The rest of the run time is filled in with horrible lines and bad acting. Tom Cruise was as always good but even his character had terrible lines. The plot was easy to follow because it so simple a five year old could have figured who done it. This movie could of been great. The best part about this movie was the preview before this movie which showed Tom Cruise's new movie set in the future waste lands of earth. Lets just hope the preview doesn't let us down again. TO ALL FILM MAKERS: PLEASE STOP RUSHING MOVIES AND PUT SOME TIME INTO THEM. THE PUBLIC WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT IF YOU QUIT RUSHING OUT TITLES AND TRYING TO SELL THEM WITH BIG NAMES. THIS MOVIE COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT BUT INSTEAD IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME.

Horrendous, Unbelievable, Laughable

by sbknyc

Where to begin? Within the first five minutes, it is crystal clear that this low-budget, poorly written movie would be a true stinker. Beyond the fact that Tom Cruise bares no resemblance to the hulking character of Lee Child's Jack Reacher -- the acting is abominable. The one bright spot was Robert Duvall's portrayal of Gunny. Run, with your toothbrush in your pocket!

Exceeded Our Expectations!

by Cats4two

We were prepared not to like this movie having read all the books and seeing the promotional clips but thank goodness we were wrong....this movie was fun and nothing like what we expected, which was a great thing. We highly recommend taking the time to see this movie.

Tom Cruise was not our first choice to play Reacher but he did an excellent job in capturing the character that we have all come to know and love. Kudos to Tom.

Great movie

by hichristensen

As expected this is a movie with a lot of action. The movie starts out a little slow, but it has all the action you expect from a Tom Cruise movie. It is true to the Jack Reacher character in the book. If you like action movies please go see it.
