Such a frustrating disappointment

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

A really slow and not interesting plot. Not worth its current rating

OK so this is my first IMDb movie review, jay! Please go easy on me.So I kinda liked this movie, even though it is pretty bad. Ill try to explain why. The movie starts off with a sniper shooting, 5 seemingly random people get killed. They arrest James Mark Barr and it is pretty obvious they got the wrong guy. Lucky for the guy Tom Cruise (Jack Reacher in the movie), whom is hired by the defending (female) attorney is there for him to rescue him from either death row or being imprisoned for life. So this is where the movie starts off, and it is a pretty decent action movie with a nice plot (which is way better than you would expect at the beginning of the movie), some decent villains, and a cool sniper battle. So what do I hate about the movie? Well Tom Cruise's character to be blunt, you just want him to die at the movie because this guy is full of .... Like in: 'look at me, I am so awesome'. If this would be normal life, this is the guy you want to punch in the face.There are a couple of scene's where you think C'mon! He would not do that, that's way too cheesy... But then, he just does not care about your opinion, and does do it anyway. Sure it made me laugh a couple of times, but it took me out of the movie and in my opinion brought the quality of the movie down a lot."He doesn't care about the law. He doesn't care about proof. He only cares about what's right."

I tried. I mean I really tried. I just could not keep this picture even remotely believable in my mind with the 5 foot 7 inch Tom "Snooze" as the most dangerous hand to hand combat, martial arts expert, as well as a pot shot sharp shooter sniper. Please give me a break.Then to top it off we witness Tom willing to take on 5 guys in front of the bar he was sitting in a few minutes earlier when he called this young girl "a skank". You would not believe it. You hear legs and arms cracking, and the skanky girl stands there shocked into silence as the 5 men who came to defend her honor over Tom's skank remark.I tell you what was skanky. Almost all of the action scenes that the so called (short stature) action hero, good old boy Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) was in. The plot was thin, and the schlock was thick. Tom was leaving an unbelievable (and I mean that it was unbelievable) trail of chaos and death behind him, as easy as I can slice through butter. I almost fell asleep around the 30 minute mark. I give Jack Reacher a 4 out of 10 rating, and even that is being generous.
