Jack Reacher Review.



Watched Jack Reacher Starring Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Robert Duvall and Richard Jenkins. I though the film was very formulaic and cliché which makes it a vey generic suspenseful thriller.  The script and dialogue was the main problem with the film that seems to have a few plot holes that aren't completely filled, concerning the story. The film suffers from a plot that was a bit weak, and it was lazy at times, as well as the slow tone of the film that does not match well with the witty dialogued action sequences. The film also suffers from weak comedic moments that were completely unfunny or not needed for the film. The film was entertaining with good action sequences.   Tom Cruise was great in the lead role as Jack Reacher, but the rest of the cast was decent with wooden performances.  It was decently directed by Christopher McQuarrie which finds a creative and clever ways to stand out, delivering a nifty car chase and a nifty escape as well.  The film overall was a fine film thriller. In its simple, efficient stylishness, and its western-vigilante vibe. The film was equipped with loads of action and chases that would not disappoint at all. I will give it a C+.
