Another vehicle for Tom Cruise, thriller without many thrills

Rating: 4/10 (7 January 2013)

Tom Cruise is still the pull for many cinema goers, and this port over from the novel with its action packed sleuth seems to suit Cruise down to the ground. Granted that fans of the books complain that he doesn't match the physical stature of the character in the books, lets just overlook that and just look at the film result.
Anyhow, our sleuth pops out of nowhere to respond to a cry for help for a man convicted of the killing by sniper fire of five people. You guessed it, not is all as it seems and our main man will set out to find out the killers. You've heard it all before and there's nothing new here.
It's paint by numbers with clichéd criminals, bad music, bent cops, god fearing blonde haired assistant and so on.
Nothing much to say further on this movie. Even the car chase seen in the film isn't too exciting although is the best part of the film.
Not much to commend this for.
