Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The storyline has nothing of interest and the people act boringly. Even the villain is boring. Don't get me started on Tom's character. He plays Tom Cruise, which is boring, not a Jack Reacher. Maybe they are equally boring? A total waste of time. Make sure you make out at least if you're forced to a chance on this one.

A homicide investigator digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. Jack Reacher gives Tom Cruise another shot on playing a badass action hero other than his Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible Saga and regardless what anyone said about his casting he did a great job in the main role, he was funny, cool and pretty badass and even Jai Courtney (Terminator Genisys, Suicide Squad) did a very good amount of job as one of the villains. This movie is not one of Cruise's best like his Mission Impossible movies or Minority Report but it's definitely a fun and really action packed ride that some viewers will definitely enjoy it for what it's worth. (10/10)

I like Lee Child's books and have read most of them including the one that led to this film - One Shot.All in all, it's a decent yarn, with plenty of action, the odd improbable conclusion drawn from nowhere and some decent, if not outstanding acting performances. My only problem with the film is that Tom Cruise is such an unlikely - and unbelievable - vigilante / trouble shooter.The books give the impression that Reacher is a huge, hard-nosed guy. Some of the situations Cruise gets into, and out of, seem a little unlikely to say the least.Still worth a watch though

Jack Reacher starring Tom Cruise sees him playing the title character in this mystery, spy action thriller. Having no knowledge of the novel series, one could not compare Tom Cruise's performance to how the character in the novel is supposed to be depicted. Although, in presence I may agree with several critics and fans of the novel, that he may have been miscast. His performance seems to be lacking in any spark and he comes off as too unenergetic and not as mysterious or silent as he should have, according to some others. Though perhaps with another leading man as the title role, this film would not have been as successful.The story isn't too bland but it seems like a recycle of many past action thrillers we have seen already. There is the typical scene plot with the female lead being hostaged by the villains than the lead has to come and save her, then killing the villains. It has all been done before many times, and it was very predictable in here. The mystery is only for the characters in the film having not sure what is going on, but we the audience already known everything which leaves little suspense. The running time is 130 mins and feels like it. Another thing with the film is that at no point we feel that Jack Reacher is in real any danger, and they make him completely invincible. Despite some decent action scenes, Jack Reacher isn't as fun as it should be. It's more of a serious toned film and with Tom Cruise's presence it comes off as awkward and quite silly. Jack Reacher is no Jason Bourne or James Bond
