The dullness in this film gave me headache.

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2013)

This film is just plain dull, boring, uninteresting and cliché. I was expecting something at least with action scenes in the level of Transporter, that was a typical action flick. But Jack Reacher didn't offer nothing. It's bad.
The style is very peculiar, though: it sounded like a film-noir in some parts, with Reacher playing the detective and seeking answers about the murders depicted in the film very beginning. OK, fine. But quickly, one of the various problems in this film became noticeable: the dialogs.
It was so dull and cliché(i mean, the kind of dialogs that are overused in films such as the aforementioned transporter and the expendables) i started wondering why i didn't walked out. The one liners were also ridiculous and totally dull and unrealistic. Examples are quotes like 'You don't want to do that' and 'I'm sorry but i can't help you' are frequently used by our dearest protagonist Jack Reacher.
The logic used by Jack works even when it's impossible to assume something at all. Example: there is a part where he quickly assumes that a bunch of amateurs 'assassins' were hired to 'terminate' him. The viewer has no clue at all about that until the middle of the film, yet he is sure about that since the beginning, what obviously does not make any sense.
Ah, and there is obviously the 'chick' indispensable in any action film nowadays. You don't even need to watch the film to know what always happens: bandit kidnaps girl intending to kill the hero which will obviously will rescue the girl. Even if he claims that himself is not a 'hero', his behavior and actions tell the opposite, as we can see.
K would talk about the acting, that is horrible just like everything else in that film, and also would talk about the boring car chases and the horrible action scenes, but i don't think that is worthy to spent anymore lines reviewing that film. Just avoid it. 4.2/10
