Jack Reacher
A; Action
Dir: Christopher McQuarrie
Cast: Tom Cruise, Werner Herzog

In the novel, Reacher is supposed to be a towering 6 foot 5 inch blue-eyed blond haired, slow moving 50 inch chested hulk, but here Tom Cruise steps in about a whole foot shorter, brunette, puny and agile. The strange casting choices would mar the experience for fans of the novels, but don’t make a lick of a difference to those unfamiliar with the Reacher books. Because the film offers every bit of the archaic thrills that it promises, trying to make us forget that every single of its plot points has been done before in ’80s and ’90s cinema.
