JACK REACHER: Tom Cruise at his finest


The tension has build up, intensified, maintained till the end - this is what Jack Reacher will give you. It gets more thrilling as it approaches the climax. Musical scoring is no doubt in perfect sync with the scenes. Cinematography is excellent like “SkyFall” (2012).

Tom Cruise is Rack Reacher, stoic, drifter and a former US military where another agent from the military sniper, James Barr [Joseph Sikora] shot five random victims and needed his help. Barr’s defense counsel Helen Rodin [Rosamund Pike], District Attorney’s daughter, Alex Rodin [Richard Jenkins] thoroughly investigated the crime with the advise from Reacher to visit the victims’ families and figure out what lies behind the shooting spree. Here, Helen will know the mastermind of all these killings.

Jack Reacher is an adaptation from the 2005 novel of Lee Child (Jim Grant) entitled “One Shot”. This is just one of the adventures of Jack Reacher as the character is in Lee Child’s 17 novels written from 1997 to 2013. He currently received a lifetime achievement award from the Crime Writers’ Association while his 1st citation was given by Anthony Award for Best 1st Novel “Killing Floor” (1997).

Jack Reacher is absolutely one of Tom Cruise' best films.

Rating: 4/5
