Jack Reacher

by Mar22

It was a great movie with more than exceptional action. The Pittsburgh backdrop excellent. It's worth seeing for a second time. Tom Cruise is at his best in this movie. The bad guys are bad and the good guys are not so good.

Jack Reacher Needs to Reach for Something New

by 4myeyezonly

This movie did not impress me at all. It was nothing but the DC Sniper (mentality) and of course the same old nothing new cliche Tom Cruise. So predictable. Sorry! I guess I need to stick with comedy.

Jack Reacher not a stretch

by

Tom Cruise is back in excellent form as Jack Reacher. The movie was fun and only slightly unbelievable. Great cameos as well. Definitely worth the cost and time spent.

Excellent Movie

by ubuiblinda

One of Tom Cruise best performance and movie plot is fantastic, movie you will stay awake for. You really could watch it again and probably be like watching it for the first time. It's fast paced and requires staying focus. I attend to see it again.

A Good Surprise

by

The movie turned out to be better than I thought it would be. It was a good mix of action, thriller and mystery with a bits of comedy thrown in. But there was a lot more violence than I would expect from a PG-13 movie. (I don't mind it, but I had my mother and nephew with me and it was a little much for them.)

Reacher Kicks Butt

by jlgolf18

Reacher surprised me. Cool investigative work. Good old fashion car chase. Nice surprise elements. Hand to hand combat. Good guys with guns guns getting the job done. Not for small kids. Reacher delivered the goods for this guy.

Reacher was much better than expected

by powdermike

Other than Cruise being 5'6" instead of 6'5", this is a great rendition of one of the many excellent Lee Childs Reacher novels.

The story flows along very clearly with good dialogue and action. There was none of the silliness that the Mission Impossible series has degraded to.

Hopefully this will be the first in a series!

JACK REACHER

by rick75

Excellent movie. Actually much better than I thought. Had a feeling it was going to be just another shoot-em up movie. Was very surprised...it had an actual plot/story...very pleased indeed. Keep ya guessing til the end. Great acting and great action flick as well...Would definitely recommend this movie!!

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.

Worth the time

by napsi

Even though Jack Reacher is supposed to be 6' 4" I thought Cruise did a good job. Hope to see more Lee Child books make the big screen.

Pretty good for aTom Cruise comeback.

by ammodriver2000

A good, action flick with not a lot of over the top violence, or unneccessarily gaudy action scenes as has become the norm with "military-themed" action movies.
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher makes very good sense, as the biggest, loudest guy in the room is not necessarily the most dangerous....usually the wanna-be in the crowd.
Also, it seems there was a painful effort made NOT to force romance into the movie. However; you can see where the attempt was approached to insert some sexual tension in, but it was intentionally shot dead.
Bravo on that. It's a thinking man/woman's action movie.

Long But Good...

by Tasia_Audre

Thoroughly enjoyed Jack Reacher. Though the movie was well written, it was pretty long, and it took a while for them to really get into the plot. Other than that it was a pretty good action movie.

Another Cruise Action Flick

by rogerpollex

I enjoyed this movie, even though there were your typical action parts that are hard to believe. I enjoyed the "who done it' part of the movie. Just wish there was more of that and not the action parts. Not a big fan of the action parts which are so hard to believe they could happen in the real world. But I do recommend going to see this movie.

surprisingly good

by

This movie turned out to be not what I expected. We found it to be fast-paced, exciting,, and generally very entertaining. This is a 'Tom Cruise' movie, in which his talents are put to good use. Tom does a good job of mixing' gung ho' with humanity.
I had never heard of Jack Reacher novels until I saw a review posted here. I cannot compare Cruise's movie character with the book's, but I feel he probably did the book character justice.
