Jack Reacher starring Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, and Robert Duvall is reviewed by Ben Mankiewicz (host of Turner Classic Movies), Matt Atchity (Editor-in-chief Rottentomatoes.com), Alonso Duralde (TheWrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Christy Lemire (AP critic).

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, ex-military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter-a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right-and soon the slam-dunk case explodes. Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning-and then beat him shot for shot. -- (C) Official Site

Anne Rice thought the same thing when they cast him as Lestat. Then she seen the movie and said it was perfect casting. He may be a little bent, but the man can act.

[Anthrage]

Finally just saw this - was quite good. There were some issues in terms of the character interactions but all in all it was well done.

[KingOfTheCreeps]

Have you seen the prequel Angus Filler?

[L4tenius]

Are you serious? You are feeling queasy because there is a shooting at the beginning? Grow up.

[intjurban]

Nothing intimidating at all about Cruise playing Reacher. Good film perhaps, but not Jack Reacher style at all.

[TheFly212]

first of Reacher is blonde, 6 foot 4, and absolutely a beast. All he does is drink coffee and water and owns mercs, gangsters, and other lowlifes. The dude from Thor and the Avengers would have been perfect.
