Nothing Spectacular.

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2013)

It was a great thing someone took me to this movie, because it is not worth the ten dollar ticket. I found the plot to be very redundant and dried out, it seemed to be a movie I had seen before. Jack Reacher as a character seemed alright, he wasn't a God figure-- that's the best part about it.
Yet, Tom Cruise's portrayal wasn't praise worthy, and it wasn't bad at the same time. The best way I can describe it is that he was there. Much like a quote from Drake and Josh, "What's acting-- You show up, say some stuff, and go home." When I see a movie... I don't want the main character to just be there. I'm probably not the only one.
The lawyer, investigator, or whatever the blonde was... She was just plain annoying. I wanted her to just have a breakdown and tell Jack that she could handle it by herself. Seriously. Grow some.
There were some good parts, but I found myself dozing. After reading there is a book series, I can probably say I'm not receiving the full experience. Overall, this movie is one I'd buy in the discount bin in Walmart, or watch on TNT on a Saturday morning.
