Nothing new but it's pretty good.

Rating: 6/10 (21 November 2014)

Jack Reacher is your generic action flick in some ways but overall it's pretty good. The backstory is interesting and provides you with enough mystery and intrigue to keep you engaged and the action sequences are all entertaining. Let's be honest, Tom Cruise was made for these roles and he does them very well but occasionally you get a déjà vu feeling. He's not over the hill just yet.
My biggest problem with the movie is that there seems to be too many dumb moments to overlook. I'm not sure if that's the books fault or the directors. Either way it stops you from enjoying this movie fully. All in all it's not a bad movie.
