Predictable but decent hybrid action film

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2013)

Reading some of the reviews I wonder what people were expecting...Its a hybrid action with elements of crime/thriller mixed in. I swear people were expecting an episode of Dr Who.
The plot is simple: bad guys frame good guy, and good guy calls on a tough SOB to help out.
Although I don't think Cruise is a good candidate for Jack Reacher, I think he did OK except for the last scene.
I liked the film, although there are some pretty bad errors made in this film with regards to technique and setup. There are just some things I wouldn't do if I was the perps or Reacher.
SPOILER:
For people that complain about the end fight...About how ridiculous that Cruise couldn't be hit by the sniper...Let me put it this way, getting shot at by another sharpshooter will completely reset your priorities. The Gunny had all the advantages, shooting from the dark, while the Russian is nice and outlined for him on the ridge under the light, not to mention having lost his night vision while Gunny was compensating for it. Now try hitting a sprinting target at 150-200yrds in the situation he is in. However, what IS stupid is how they didn't turn the car into swiss cheese, with that many assault rifles, Reacher should be dead.
