Surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2016)

I am not the biggest Tom Cruise fan but I must say he pulls this off brilliantly.
The story is a good one that keeps you guessing and gripped in the best thriller tradition. The action is good and not over done the characters are well rounded and believable. Rosamund Pike was very good and did not over play her part. It was also good to see the great Robert Duvall who is good in everything he does.
Werner Herzog was suitably evil like a more sadistic Bond Villain.
The plot was good and very cleverly thought out, did you guess it?
There were parts of the film I didn't like much. The car chase was unnecessary and overly long but then I don't like car chases as much as Hollywood seems to.
I look forward to watching the next jack Reacher film.
