Entertaining enough; easy throwaway

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2017)

Overall: This is a simple movie you can watch once for some fun and never see again. It is entertaining enough and is not bad by any means but it wasn't as good as hoped.
Good: Great acting coming from Tom Cruise with a pretty decent supporting cast backing him up. The cinematography was pretty decent and the music was done well. The actual character of Cruise was great with a cocky attitude which actually made me laugh a few times. The actual action scenes were great and very well choreographed and just plain looked cool.
Bad: The villains were very disappointing and the ending was the living definition of 'we can't be bothered to be creative'. The ending just lost all credibility of this movie with me. Without this ending and horrific villains this movie would have been a definite 7/10 leaning on 8 but for its sheer stupidity and laziness, I can't give it that rank. It left you with questions but not the good kind, like with Inception, the kind were crucial plot details weren't deciphered. Too be fair to the villains, their acting was decent it was purely the script. The story in general was just meh. It had a decent premise to make it stand but no meat to sustain it.
Best Part: The assault on the construction site just before the poor ending
MVP: Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher
6/10
