Reacher is good

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2012)

I haven't read the Reacher books yet but I am about to, dad is a big Reacher fan and he did say he was a little disappointed that Cruise was chosen as Reacher. But his opinion changed after seeing the second trailer for this film. I have been looking forward to this movie for quite a while as it does look really good from the trailers. After seeing it I feel it was a good movie, but for me it was a bit slow at times when he is gathering the evidence. The action sequences in this film are done really well and are very believable. I thought the car chase was outstanding and for me the best part of the movie. It was done very well with influences of the car chase in bullet, meaning no explosions just the car and the driving. Dad felt the movie was very good and he liked Cruise as Reacher, I also felt Cruise portrayed Reacher very well. But for me I felt that some of the characters could have been explained a bit more. I was asking myself at points in the movie what's his story, how does he fit in? Dad said it was very faithful to the book which is good. Overall I feel it was a decent movie, the story was good and the action was good but I felt at points it was a bit slow and could have had more depth in characters. I would like to see another Reacher movie and hope that they will start a franchise from it as I would love to see most books done as movies! A good solid movie which can be enjoyed by all the family!
