An action movie done right with little over the top nonsense.

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2013)

If you are not a Tom Cruise fan and usually skip his flicks you will be making a big mistake. The complexity of the character Jack Reacher called for a subdued portrayal which Cruise handled skillfully. Rosamunde Pike complemented her costar and was very believable in the role. Robert Duvall as usual made the most of his scenes and the interaction with Cruise was great.The movie flowed with great action, a terrific story and superb entertainment throughout. All the normal ingredients for a great flick are there, cops, corruption, mystery and intrigue. Once again, Tom Cruise has reinvented himself to prove his critics wrong. The trade mark smile might be missing from this movie but, it is Mr. Cruise who comes out smiling in the end.
