waste of money and time

Rating: 1/10 (11 January 2013)

Why did i watch this movie? There was a lot of hype for this movie, despite not ever reading the books i got a good impression of the story and character. Unfortunately there is a reason why i have stopped watch Tom Cruise movies this is one of them.
The entire film was about how good Tom Cruise looked in the film. It lacked any real character development and i found myself being glad that i saw any parts of the movie that did not have Jack Reacher in it. I feel it is a duty to mention that you are watching A Tom Cruise Production that really did say it all. this guy having any creative decisions is just plain bad. I encourage you to watch this when your drunk because your at least be able to enjoy yourself being drunk and you can add it as a regret that you will never drink again on fear of watching this again.
If I'm not mistaken Tom Cruise definitely picked the supporting cast because i would not have recognised half of them which only tells me that he didn't want to be overshadowed ironically i think the best performer was in fact the David Oyelowo and i haven't seen a whole lot of movies with him in.
The plot would have been good except for the fact that it was as bumbling as the bad guys. everything was pretty much the usual type of stuff you'd expect but done badly.
Dialogue was a "what the hell" for most part the writer either did it on purpose or in my opinion Tom Cruise decided that he was a better creative artist and shoved in a lot of one liners that were basically from past films he's been in mixed with common quotes that have become quite over used.
if your lucky enough not to have the time to watch this movie then believe me when i say don't bother, hopefully the lack of interest in the future will force the production to be filmed with a better actor and a better support cast.
do yourselves a favour watch something else.
