this Jack Reacher is generic

Rating: 2/10 (23 December 2012)

..as is the movie. really as generic as an action sock em up action movie can get. many of the things that make reacher interesting simply aren't pulled off by cruise. he played his ethan hunt character very well here....problem is, this wasn't another mission impossible movie. we all know lee child sold out to cruise's production company, thus garnering an actor who could not pull of reacher's physically intimidating demeanor. child claims to like the portrayal..what else is he going to say? child made a point to emphasize the important role reacher's size and physically imposing stature had in just about every chapter of every reacher book. as a generic action movie, this was an OK movie. as a jack reacher movie 3 stars is the best i can give it.
