A rocking action thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2012)

Well, it's interesting that Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher seems to be receiving some negative reviews from the British press. I saw it last night and thought it impressive. The action sequences were stunning (if you like the car chase in Bullitt, check this one out) and the acting performances were fluid with a liberal sprinkling of humour throughout.
And that last point is one that is often lost on the UK pen pushers: the film doesn't take itself too seriously. It's the British press that are trying to read deep meaning into a film produced to entertain and make money. I invite the critics to see a few more 'Brit Flicks' filmed on council estates and then review their ideas.
