It wasn't that bad... or was it?

Rating: 6/10 (16 October 2017)

OK so this is my first IMDb movie review, jay! Please go easy on me.
So I kinda liked this movie, even though it is pretty bad. Ill try to explain why.
The movie starts off with a sniper shooting, 5 seemingly random people get killed. They arrest James Mark Barr and it is pretty obvious they got the wrong guy. Lucky for the guy Tom Cruise (Jack Reacher in the movie), whom is hired by the defending (female) attorney is there for him to rescue him from either death row or being imprisoned for life. So this is where the movie starts off, and it is a pretty decent action movie with a nice plot (which is way better than you would expect at the beginning of the movie), some decent villains, and a cool sniper battle.
So what do I hate about the movie? Well Tom Cruise's character to be blunt, you just want him to die at the movie because this guy is full of .... Like in: 'look at me, I am so awesome'. If this would be normal life, this is the guy you want to punch in the face.
There are a couple of scene's where you think C'mon! He would not do that, that's way too cheesy... But then, he just does not care about your opinion, and does do it anyway. Sure it made me laugh a couple of times, but it took me out of the movie and in my opinion brought the quality of the movie down a lot.
