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.
