The inside of an ambulance.....

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2013)

In an innocent heartland city, five are shot dead by an expert sniper. The police quickly identify and arrest the culprit, and build a. Opens and shut case.
But the accused man claims he's innocent and says "Get Jack Reacher." Reacher himself sees the news report and turns up in the city.
The defence is relieved, but Reacher has come to bury the guy. Shocked at the accused's request, Reacher sets out to confirm for himself the absolute certainty of the man's guilt, but comes up with more than he bargained for.....
Tom Cruise movies are an event, and despite his beliefs, in which he is entitled to, he is still the biggest movie star alive today. For nearly thirty years, his films have been consistently big and have always been an event.
But sometimes, there are a few that are not really in that calibre (Far and Away, Valkirye, Knight and Day) and now, Jack Reacher.
It doesn't have the feel of a Cruise movie, and it doesn't really work the way it should. We have a few tense scenes, and a few stand out set pieces, but for the most part, we have the titular character walking round with a confident swagger, despite the fact that this man wants to be a ghost and untraceable.
The supporting cast are the best thing here, Jenkins, Duvall are great, but the film is an absolute must whenever Herzog is on screen, which isn't much sadly.
Accompanied with lots of plot holes and scenes where people talking is supposed to be classed as intelligent cinemas, Jack Reacher way over stretches its target, and is not the bonafide hit it thinks it is.
A below par action movie, with an okay final ten minutes, but next time, make it a little more funnier, with not so much talking, trying to make the masses feel intelligent.
