Well written and Tom as good as always!.

Fantasy is missing in the Genres!

Was expecting a more realistic movie, the plot was just too convenient for Cruise.

Based on Lee Child's fictional character and adapted from the Jack Reacher novel 'One Shot' director Christopher McQuarrie (The Way of the Gun and the upcoming MI Rogue Nation) brings us a smooth charismatic performance from Tom Cruise (Top Gun, The Firm, Cocktail, Born on Fourth of July, Few Good Men) as the lead character, a ex-military investigator and nomad. Some people can argue that it's too slow paced, weak script, but as a lover of the novels themselves, this is the Jack Reacher I would like see on the big screen (much like Chris Pine's version of Jack Ryan in Shadow Recruit). Some great sequences and a good performance from Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) actually makes this a watchable thiller, it's good Hollywood have stayed true to the character that Lee Child's created and if you've read any of the novel's you'll see this in the movie itself, the way that Tom portrays this on screen. Truthfully, can't wait for the sequel.

A must watched movie!!! So awesome GREAT MOVIE!!!!

Pretty good.

Cool film. A bit boring at parts.

Badass fight scenes.

So, spoilers ahead. I don't want to be the guy who ruins the film for you, so please, unless you've seen the film, do not read on, fair warning given.

There were two key paths I feel weren't explored far enough, despite the film being pretty lengthy (without a dull moment, may I add).
Point 1) Sort of two parts, but still one point. I don't think they pursued the thought-provoking aspect of the victims lives as much as they could've done. That scene with Pike in the house of the father of one of the victims was so very touching and emotional - yet that was the last we saw of the aspect. The character of Reacher demanded that if he was to view Barr objectively, she, as Barr's defence, should get to know the lives of the victims. Which brings me onto the second part of this point - the victim on the bench and the victim with the watch, purportedly having an affair. Was this just a way into the characters thinking the victims weren't random and thus reaching the realization of Oline's position? I know the affair was irrelevant, but we have a glimpse into their lives, a glimpse into the nanny's life,... for what, the emotional path that wasn't gone down? I don't think that aspect was developed enough.

Point number 2) Much briefer this one, but what was the motive of the Detective Emerson character to be under the control of The Zec? It seemed that he was working for him because he hadn't got a choice - what was The Zec holding over him, controlling him with?? Did they avoid that expansion so that we wouldn't feel sorry for Emerson when Reacher shoots him? If so, why present us with the limp plot point of Emerson being forced to obey as his reason for betraying the badge? Yes, give us a motive so it's believable, but to actually try to develop it.

Anyway, just my thoughts.

this is most stupid movie of Tom Cruise

Entertaining but ultimately fairly generic detective thriller. After a fairly intense and intriguing opening to the film, there is very little that this film offers that is in any way original or refreshing but it is well made and another vehicle for Cruise to dominate. Here the main draw is the character of Jack Reacher, and Cruise is always watchable in roles like this, but on the evidence of this film, Reacher is essentially a cross between Dirty Harry and Martin Riggs and a more intriguing backstory is only hinted. Perhaps a sequel will have a stronger focus on the title character, but when the film itself is named after the main character, it is only fair to expect a stronger focus on the character himself.

A decent thriller, held my interest from start to finish and Tom was great.

Excellent movie, better than the second. I think it’s also one of Tom’s best performances.

Tom Cruise brings Lee Child’s signature character to the big screen in Jack Reacher. Based on the novel One Shot, former Army investigator Jack Reacher is called upon by the suspect of a public shooting, and Reacher soon discovers that there’s more to the shooting than anyone realizes. Cruise delivers a strong performance that’s energetic and witty. However, there are some pacing and script issues. But the action scenes are well-done and add a lot of excitement and intensity to the film. While it has few problems, Jack Reacher is a solid thriller with a compelling and suspenseful mystery.
