Nice movie with very slow pace....

Rating: 6/10 (31 December 2012)

First of all, I'm the one of the viewers that didn't read book and I could, in some way, understand why book lovers outraged on main character and whole concept of movie. I would too, if I enjoyed in reading something special and give some high hopes in movie version of same. You can also feel same thing, if you watch trailer and expect some bursting action and hell of entertainment, but all you got is something between detective and action movie with really slow pace.
Yes, that same slow pace killed, in my opinion, one really great movie. OK, maybe, scenery closely follow pace of book and slowly, like book, introducing us with main character(who he is and what is he capable) and whole situation, but, honestly, movie version really don't need all that information and gaps in plot, just like you read book, because they are there to help reader, not viewer, to envision Jack Reacher's world. Generally, whole movie could be compressed in 100 minutes and we wouldn't miss a thing.
Something that was really impressive and very refreshing in this movie was, really intelligent dialog's and unusual approach to solving case, but all that looks more likely, thanks to book. Acting was solid and whole atmosphere was pretty mesmerizing, but my biggest complain is that mystery feeling is ruined in berry beginning. That same fact killed my satisfaction to find out what would happened when man who don't have anything to gain meat man who don't have anything to lose.
All in all, I would not say that I highly recommend this movie to everybody, but if you go, please don't go with high expectations and maybe, you will get some satisfaction.
