Flop

Rating: 4/10 (3 May 2016)

I am a huge Tom Cruise fan and a huge Jack Reacher fan - but I am not a huge Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher fan. I will not even try to say who should have played his character because no actor exists at this point. They would have to find someone and teach them how to act. I watched this movie the first time and fell asleep. I tried to watch it again but it was just too boring and slow. I did not like the leading lady. I like that actress in other things but there was no chemistry between her and the leading man. To this day, I do not even know what this movie was about. It had action scenes but it was like just watching action scene clips. In the Lee Child books, the Jack Reacher character "thinks" the script. It is a first person narration in his head. This does not compute to the screen. It was not done well. The Director did not get the gist. Try again - maybe on the next one because I ensure you they will try to continue to make these movies. If you want to know Jack Reacher, read the book.
