Jack Reacher (2012)
1/10
It's a clunker.
15 September 2013
Found myself watching this turkey at a friend's place, and wished I hadn't. Cruise is insufferably smug, and wooden to boot. His body language is at odds with his role from start to finish. Quite creepy when he's lurking all over a hopelessly miscast Rosamund Pike with his eyes darting around like a trapped rat. Every character is two dimensional or less, and the set pieces are hackneyed clichés. The wrong way down a tunnel thing is getting very old after the twentieth iteration.I couldn't help wondering if Saint Thomas did his own driving stunts. I'm sure Cruise fans will see no wrong in his delivery of the Tom Cruise persona, but for non-devotees, it's all a bit shallow and desperately unbelievable..
