Jack Reacher, one of the best thriller/action movies I have seen in a long time.

Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2013)

Jack reacher, after seeing the trailer for this movie I noted it as a must see when it came out. Having not read any of the books, I went in open minded, I was not disappointed. I see this movie as a similar idea to Alex Cross, based on the series by James Patterson, only much better. Right form the opening scene of this movie, there was suspense, action and thrill. With out wanting to give anything away to those who haven't seen the movie, throughout the movie there were twists and turns that again built up the suspense and kept you on the edge of your seat. If I have one criticism, it's that through the middle the storyline went a little cold and only followed what Tom Cruise's character was doing. Although between these short periods the was no shortage of violence and action, topped of with a fast and exciting car chase. This though was all forgotten by the time the final battle begun. Endless gun shots and action and even a bit of a fright at the end. Now to clear up the issue of Tom Cruise playing Reacher. Personally i think Tom Cruise is one of the best actors in the world for these types of movies. Whether Tom Cruise is 6'5" of 5'5", it doesn't take away the fact that he did a fantastic job at playing him. Yes I know I haven't read the books, but I truly believe that once you get into the movie the last thing you will be think about is how tall Tom Cruise is! So overall. One of the best movies I have seen in ages. Kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was going to follow. I really hope they make more Jack Reacher movies, kinda like what they are doing with the Bourne series. This first up movie was a success and I have no doubt that the ones that follow will be too. Over and out.
