A hugely entertaining & fun movie that keeps you guessing. Tom Cruise is miscast but I highly recommend this. I say A-.

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2013)

"You think I'm a hero, I'm not a hero. I'm a drifter with nothing to lose." After a sniper kills 5 people the accused has only one request...Find Jack Reacher (Cruise). He shows up and is asked by the defense attorney Helen (Pike) to help her investigate the shooter he knows so well. After Reacher begins to dig what he finds makes him think the shooter is innocent. The problem is no one else does, and some want to get Reacher out of the way. I'm not sure what I really expected to see when I sat down to watch this, but I got something much much better. I think I expected another generic action movie, this is more of a mystery type of detective movie. That said, it is also a fantastic movie that keeps you guessing the whole time. I loved almost everything about this, the only complaint I had really is Tom Cruise. To me he really just didn't fit the part, but other then that this is a great movie that is very much worth seeing. You really aren't sure who to trust and who is pulling the strings. That makes the movie that much more fun to watch. Even for someone who isn't a Tom Cruise fan this is very fun to watch and his best movie in awhile. I highly recommend this. Overall, a very entertaining movie that keeps you guessing, Tom Cruise isn't a good choice though. I give it an A-.
