Worst movie I've ever seen.

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2012)

Spoiler alert! If you are dying to see Jack Reacher DO NOT READ THIS. Having said that, this is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen in my life! It's definitely top three. I would never have believed that movies this bad were still being produced and released into theaters. In fact, I've seen tons of straight to internet things that are a thousand times better than this movie. Jack Reacher wins the award for worst writing in any movie ever in the history of the universe, bar none. My daughter and I actually started laughing so hard and trying to stifle it so as not to irritate anyone else in the theater that I had a coughing spell and had to go outside to recover. Actual dialogue from movie: "I will drink your blood from my boot" and "I'm a homeless drifter! I have nothing to lose!" Full disclosure – my daughter and I both LOVE action movies! In fact we prefer them to almost anything else. And we definitely do not expect Shakespearean dialogue in such movies. As a rule, dialogue should be minimal and action should be plentiful. This movie was just abysmally bad! And I think part of the reason was they seemed to reverse that formula – way too much dialogue, all of which sucked, and just a little bit of action. The acting was also laughably horrible. The acting talent of the main female in the movie apparently consisted of wearing the same low cut tank top with different sweaters, opening her eyes really wide and not grasping any of the plot points of the movie until Tom Cruise engaged in a lengthy badly written speech to explain it to her. And let's not even get into the Eastern European stereotypical bad guy who CHEWED OFF HIS OWN FINGERS in a Siberian prison so the frostbite would not turn to gangrene and kill him. Not even joking. Now, if you are someone who appreciates a good belly laugh over horrendous writing and equally bad acting, then you should definitely gather a group of your friends and go have a good laugh. But don't go see this embarrassingly badly made piece of crap expecting an actual good movie
