Jack Reacher



Cast: Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike,David Oyelovo,Jai Courtney,Joseph Sikora
Director: Christopher Mc Querrie
Genre: Action, Crime, Thriller

An average flick. Nothing extraordinary

Pluses:
  • Tom Cruise, goes without saying. A serious and a no nonsene character. Stern and strong. Hotness quotient retained :)
  • The thriller part of the movie was may be not the reason for assasinations but the suspects who were involved in the crime
  • David Oyelovo,Jai Courtney,Joseph Sikora; all of them did their respective jobs well
  • The last action sequence though again nothing extraordinary, but was a good watch
Minuses:
  • Rosamund Pike, was a very weak character. Being a lawyer, they never showed her applying any logic on her own, she was fed with the detail given by Jack Reacher and that she used to believe without any verification
  • Pace of the movie is bit slow. Without much of any action sequences, you tend to get bored
  • The car chase sequence was pretty dragging and boring. Aimlessly directed
  • The thriller reason behind all the murders were somehow quite predictable, wasnt a head turner or eye bulger when it came out
  
My rating: 2.5/5
