Cert: BBFC gave it a 12a, i give it an 18 cert with the level of violence
Story: Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, ex-military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter-a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right-and soon the slam-dunk case explodes. Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning-and then beat him shot for shot
Likes : Ive never read a book or seen comics on jack reacher character, i know some people will say its nothing like the book or comic but in defence of that when has a film ever been like the book, there is one reason for that, that people don't understand, you cant make a film like the book, they can only bring it close to the book with out changing the storyline in anyway because if a film is done like the book it becomes to complicated.This film was brilliant A strong performance from Tom Cruise and the suspenseful atmosphere created by Christopher McQuarrie.with it comical moment balanced with fast pace fights & car chase this film real delivers one of the best film tom cruise has done since last of the samurai that Ive really enjoyed laughing & watching. 2 hour film,with the interest factor holds high for its entirety as plot details are revealed at appropriate times.Solid action segments are spread throughout the story as needed and they are amusing without the help of CGI right off the bat you could see there was something not right about the situation as the story unfolds.Tom cruise plays jack reacher an ex military black ops expert that no one can find but he can find you, Tom really pulls off the Jack Reacher character with confident attitude with pithy remarks that really set hes character as someone you just don't want coming after you.
Rosamund Pike beautiful off & on screen plays Helen who is a defence lawyer who get caught up in the assassination of 6 people but uncovers more with jacks help. Richard Jenkins plays her father Rodin a head district attorney who loves he daughter but think she digging to deep & doesn't like the fact she working with jack.David Oyelowo plays the cop who doesn't like jack & finds him shift but there is some else to this character which is revealed later in the film. Werner Herzog plays this evil sadistic man the zec that own a company that will do anything to get what it wants even if it killing someone to get what they want.
Jai Courtney plays the right hand man of zec who dose the dirty work like killing people, his fate meet with jack character its a cat & mouse game. Joseph Sikora plays the ex sniper who has a past but for some reason know jack, its a suspenseful journey to find the truth behind the killing. Alexia Fast completely stunning plays Sandy a young woman who tries to set up jack but didn't work but was involved with some nasty people sealing her fate which set the tone for a personal vendetta for jack's revenge.
Robert Duvall brilliant actor solid performance with a witty sense of humour plays this witty wise cracking shooting range own Cash who come to help jack in he's investigation. All with it banter, car chases fight scenes this seriously is one thriller worth watching & what a thriller should be made. Top performance from all actors in this film.
Dislike: Nothing wrong with this film.
Overall : action,fight,scene tom cruise on top form acting this film is not to be missed, worth watching, best tom cruise film since last of the samurai
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for well balanced humour & action/suspenseful thriller
