Fairly well done

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2014)

Okay I do not care for Tom Cruise as a person but he is a pretty good actor when he gets a good script. While this one is far fetched he does a good job especially in the choreographed fight scenes plus the other action ones. The whole premise is a bit of a stretched in my opinion but what the heck. It is an entertaining movie even if it is unrealistic. Of course the main baddies are Russian who knows what. The end where Jack attacks the bad guy is a little trite but again who cares, if they are are bad guys in the movies they deserve what is coming to them, right?? It is too bad that the black detective turns out to be a bad guy but all good things come to an end, huh? The Russian controller is a real butt head and I love the end. Robert Duvall is great as the old marine back up for Reacher.
