Suspense, Mystery and Action Throughout

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2013)

An army sniper named "James Barr" (Joseph Sikora) kills 5 innocent people at random in Pittsburgh. When he is caught and interrogated he writes down 3 words on a piece of paper: "Get Jack Reacher". Not long afterward he is beaten up while in police custody and lies in a hospital bed in a coma. Out of nowhere the mysterious man named "Jack Reacher" (Tom Cruise) appears and reluctantly decides to investigate the case on his own without the help or concurrence of the Pittsburgh police department. But as he continues he realizes that what should have been an open and shut case isn't necessarily true. Anyway, from an entertainment perspective this film is very enjoyable. Tom Cruise does an excellent job and the chemistry between him and Rosamund Pike (as "Helen") is definitely noticeable even if it wasn't actually realized. There is suspense, mystery and action throughout the film and I recommend it to those who enjoy movies of this type. Above average.
