Reacher, a perceptive and smart investigator, has a quick mind as well as sharpened fighting techniques. Of course, a few fights are thrown in, but there is nothing really significantly violent at all, which may prove to be a downer for some. Malaysian cinemagoers though, would not mind the fact that Cruise does not need to do much acting as the plot is what makes this movie. No doubt a capable actor, the role of Reacher does not really pose as a challenge to Cruise. He is Tom Cruise, obviously, with a constantly stoic expression. Everyone is baffled since this Reacher person lives like a ghost with no permanent records. That is, until, the suspect requests for the presence of a certain Jack Reacher. The police rush in, get the evidence and pretty soon, they nab their man. As you anticipate his choice, he suddenly makes six continuous shots. Your blood freezes as the scope moves from an executive to a business woman to a lady with a little girl. The film opens with the chilling preparation of a sniper who casually picks his victims via scope.

If you have not read the book, this movie is going to go great for you, especially if you are a big fan of conspiracies. This is easily-digestible Hollywood fare, to be sure, but there’s not quite enough meat on the bone here.Watch this if you liked: “Mission Impossible” franchise Jack Reacher wants to be a new kind of Mission: Impossible where Bourne Supremacy-esque action replaces any deep need for well-rounded character, but McQuarrie and Cruise never fully get around to successfully making their case. McQuarrie has assembled a sensational cast Richard Jenkins, Robert Duvall, and even our favorite thickly-accented fusspot Werner Herzog appear here but after the gleeful advent of their mere presence wears off, there’s not all that much for them to do. One can’t quite shake the fact, though, that there should be at the very least a bit more popcorn fun to Jack Reacher. In fact, Cruise’s steely cool is perhaps Christopher McQuarrie’s film’s grandest asset. Devout followers of Lee Child’s novels had trouble accepting Tom Cruise as the strapping, Viking-esque eponymous protagonist, but to reject Tommy Boy too early is a big mistake: for all the constantly-swirling controversy Cruise somehow continues to keep simmering, he’s as able to both fill seats and entertain now as he ever has been. Devout followers of Lee Child’s novels had trouble accepting Tom Cruise as the strapping, Viking-esque eponymous protagonist, but to reject Tommy Boy too early is a big mistake: for all the constantly-swirling controversy Cruise somehow Jack Reacher is not completely without its merits. Jack Reacher is not completely without its merits. But what's important here is that everyone involved in the film makes it completely believable, right until the final scene, which, is hardly Bourne, but still a great finale. Although he can write great material and characters, the mystery side to his novels has, even after all these years, been rather amateurish. My only gripe is that the reveals are all quite predictable and unexciting, which again, comes back to Child's original work. There's red herrings, viewpoints from both the good and bad guys, and it is all paced at the same break neck speed as the novels. You're provided with the general story, not so much a whodunnit as a whodiddit with them. As for the plot, it's standard Lee Child fare. Part of my respect for the film comes from solely how well he pulled the character off. Tom Cruise, hate him or love him, and forgetting the height issue, is definitely Reacher. Such prolific output is usually fit for straight-to-TV drama series', so it's a surprise that Jack Reacher not only received the treatment it deserved, but also provides perhaps the most entertaining crime-thriller since The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. If anything, the story he provides is just a standard crime thriller. What you must remember, then, is that Lee Child knocks one of these books out every year. Where in the Crime genre, you expect great success to only come from a riveting script, cajoled and simmered for years before anyone even thinks about directing it. What you must remember, In some respects, it's easy to see why Jack Reacher was never going to be a darling for the critics.
