Cruise comes up short

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 2018)

This film is based on the bestselling books created by Lee Child. Tom Cruise is an action film star doing his own stunts and continually raising the bar in terms of thrills for the fans. Having said that what in heavens name came over him to think he could play Jack Reacher and pull it off. Teacher is a 6ft 5 inch brick wall who when seen puts the fear of god into you. Then who walks on our Tom the bionic midget. The idea to start making this franchise could have been as successful as the Mission franchise but the films are let down by poor acting and unrealistic fight sequences due to egotistical Tom trying to create another winning franchise. Sadly it never worked and there won't be any more. If your a Tom cruise fan then obviously you may enjoy the film but the character flaws leaves the film lacking on many fronts.
