Jack Reacher (2012)

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie
***This film is crrently streaming on Netflix***
Tom Cruise is the title character in Jack Reacher, a former military man who now finds himself investigating crimes back in the States. The crime featured in what is now apparently the first of a series of Jack Reacher films involves a sniper who shot and killed five innocent people in Pittsburgh. The shooter - a former military sniper - has no recollection of the crime and Reacher believes that he's likely innocent.
Cruise is solid and the film was enjoyable enough to watch, but the plot was rather convoluted. The film's overarching "conspiracy" failed to resonate and I found myself not caring about the resolution all that much. Still, Jack Reacher was decent...I'm just not sure I'd really care to see a sequel.
The RyMickey Rating: C
