A great action movie!

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2013)

I will start by saying I have read all of the Jack Reacher books and enjoyed almost all of them. Like many, I was skeptical when I heard that Tom Cruise would be playing Jack Reacher because a lot of the character's persona involves his personal size, which is massive, and compared to Tom Cruise's size would tend to undermine the transition to the large-screen, at least for Jack Reacher fans.
That said, after getting drawn into this well written and choreographed movie I was a convert. The spirit of the character remained true to the book and the story, with all its twists, kept me interested and on the edge of my seat until the very end.
There is a reason Tom Cruise is so successful and that is because his projects attract the talent necessary to make good action movies that entertain. Everything in this movie is top-notch and unless you, for some reason, dislike Tom Cruise you will not be disappointed.
If you are a fan of action/detective movies you owe it to yourself to see this movie. Two thumbs up!
