Reaching for nothing special

Jack Reacher (2012)

Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie this adaptation of the novel “One Shot” stars Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike and Robert Duvall. A retired Army MP investigates a mass shooting by a former Army sniper.

This is largely an average thriller that mostly sticks to it's source material with a few changes. The plot does appear to take it self a little seriously at times for what is a slightly unrealistic story but otherwise is a pretty standard genre entry. As you would expect with the people involved the film is well made but lacks any real flair or depth.


3/5
