A good old fashioned action thriller.

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2013)

I always wanted to see this movie, ever since it was made public knowledge, having read all Lee Child's books, I was full of expectations. Finally I watched it yesterday and the first impression was of disappointed with the physical mismatch of Jack Reacher. I like Tom Cruise, but I don't think he was the best choice to play Reacher. I guess it is more to do with my ready image and not with Tom Cruise's actor skills. I wasn't able to shed this feeling of strangeness until the end, thus my disappointment. Otherwise the movie is enjoyable, fast paced and everything you would expect from a good action. All actors performed well, specially Rosamund Pike, who is young and very promising. I liked the dialogues and all clever lines of the characters. I will recommend this movie to anyone wanting to watch a good old fashioned action thriller. I for sure enjoyed it.
