Very good movie, surprising.......not a critic

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2013)

I don't have to use big words or sound like a movie critic wannabe to say that this was a very good movie. Why do we watch movies? For entertainment. And Jack Reacher was entertaining. You may think Tom Cruise is a wacko and you're probably right. But that's due to what he does off-screen, not on. He's a great actor and plays Jack Reacher the way an action hero should be played. Perfectly maybe. I read the negative reviews although I thought that the movie would be a bomb based on the previews alone. Well, the reviews were worse. And they were wrong. As were my initial reactions to the previews before seeing this movie. It's not typical Cruise as far as blockbusters go, but it was good, very good. I won't mention a single scene in the movie, but you should definitely see it. I will leave it to the imagination. One thing I will say is that it was similar to Collateral, if I were to compare it to any earlier Cruise flick.
