‘Jack Reacher’ has the misfortune of being a poorly timed film. Audiences here were probably

wondering why the premiere for the film was delayed after the tragic events in Newtown,
Connecticut. Well, it’s easy to see why now. Right at the opening is a brilliantly directed tension
filled scene depicting a man with a sniper rifle, gunning down what seems to be five random
people. It’s unfortunate, but we do have to judge the movie on its own merit.
Christopher McQuarrie, who was also involved in the rewriting of the original screenplay this movie
is based on, helms the movie from his director’s chair. The result is a police procedural that has
enough twists and turns, something movies of this genre tend to be lacking these days, that’ll keep
the audience occupied throughout.
It’s very nicely crafted all around, has a dark humorous vibe to it as well and doesn’t take itself too
seriously, which is very much appreciated. The film does move a little slowly in the first act, but the

rest of the movie proves to be a fun challenge for viewers as they piece together the clues and
twists that unfold. A little bit of a mind challenge, if you will.
The character Jack Reacher originates from a series of books written by British author Jim Grant
under his pen name of Lee Child. The book adapted for this movie is ‘One Shot’. If you’ve read the
novels by Child, Cruise doesn’t exactly fit the part of Reacher, described in the novels as a 6-foot-
5, 250-pound, blond monster of a dude. So obviously, Cruise doesn’t quite ‘reach’ (pun intended)
the physical features of the character, and so does the role in his own way.

And in a wonderfully weird casting choice, legendary German filmmaker Werner Herzog plays the
villain, a man named ‘The Zec’. Nice to see someone finally tapping that deeply threatening
documentary narration voice, although his role is pretty flat, a stereotypical villain that doesn’t have
many layers to it.
‘Jack Reacher’ is smart but, at the same time, the movie never forgets the subject at hand—justice
no matter what. There are plenty of badass fights, thrills and spills. Reacher fights with a
particularly violent fighting style that employs lots of elbow strikes that will make you cringe. And,
rather thankfully, these fight scenes aren’t over edited.
This is a thinking man’s bruiser movie—smart, violent and confident. It’s electrifying when you
finally weave together all the pieces of this hardboiled crime, and the bone-shattering action and
various surprises will keep you engaged all the way through.
