Jack Reacher
Typically you can find military police officers in the mess hall eating Donut MREs.
However, the ex-MP in this action movie is too preoccupied with solving a shooting spree.
When a former army sniper is accused of killing five random strangers in Pittsburg, he requests Military Police Major come vagabond Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) to help him avoid the death penalty.
Partnering with the defense attorney (Rosamund Pike), Reacher conducts his own investigation and uncovers a corrupt construction company fronted by a Russian ex-con (Werner Herzog) and his henchman (Jai Courtney).
With an ex-Gunnery Sergeant (Robert Duvall) at his side, Reacher wages his own Cold War on the comrades.
Based on a novel from the popular series, Jack Reacher is an exceptional introduction: the mystery is judicious, the action is forceful and Cruise exudes bravado.
Furthermore, as an Army cop, Jack Reacher can also issue tickets to illegally parked tanks.
