Decent Enough Yarn

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2017)

I like Lee Child's books and have read most of them including the one that led to this film - One Shot.
All in all, it's a decent yarn, with plenty of action, the odd improbable conclusion drawn from nowhere and some decent, if not outstanding acting performances.
My only problem with the film is that Tom Cruise is such an unlikely - and unbelievable - vigilante / trouble shooter.
The books give the impression that Reacher is a huge, hard-nosed guy. Some of the situations Cruise gets into, and out of, seem a little unlikely to say the least.
Still worth a watch though
