One morning in an ordinary town, five people are shot dead in a seemingly random attack; all evidence points to a single suspect: an ex-military sniper who is quickly brought into custody; Reacher, an enigmatic ex-Army investigator, believes the authorities have the right man but agrees to help the sniper's defense attorney. However, the more Reacher delves into the case, the less clear-cut it appears.

Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 02/05/2024
Casting Tom Cruise as the former military policeman Reacher is far-fetched to say the least. That said, this is enjoyably boisterous. Go to Full Review

There is a dogged leanness to Reacher's pursuit that lifts his adventures from the generic rut ... Go to Full Review

Ultimately, the film rises and falls on Cruise's aggressively magnetic performance. Go to Full Review

Other characters keep telling us how mysterious and dangerous Jack Reacher is, and yet Cruise’s appearance, clean-cut and trim, doesn’t fit the bill. Go to Full Review

Chris W @RT19336544 6d Not as good as the show teacher but definitely still a very good movie See more Renaldo D @RT30888824 Aug 14 The action is interesting; however, the film has a weak plot. See more Era K @RT01588294 Aug 10 Bye bye scout and Eli is a controversial and banned episode of the LeapFrog series called scout and friends which originally premiered in 2008 featuring a character named Eli sneaking a bone into the yard and also it becomes addictive to scout and then he begins chasing it and jumping into the air and the bone flies and it is mouth after cartoon Network saw the content cartoon Network pulled in mid broadcast and the episode was scrapped making it become lost media it was part of the LeapFrog series from 2005 to 2008 See more Kirstie W @KLoves Jul 11 I really liked this movie. See more Ry N @RyGuy Jun 26 Jack Reacher investigates a veteran military sniper’s mass shooting. The movie is filled with solid action and a nice twist. See more Bruce M @BruceMc May 26 Awfully boring and boringly awful. A poorly-cast Tom Cruise sleepwalks through the title role; Rosamund Pike, who is a decent actress, has nothing to do; Robert Duvall has two scenes. Movie is too long, is poorly- edited and -directed, and has a terrible screenplay. Perhaps the book it's based on is good, but "Jack Reacher" is just a bad, talky, formulaic time-filler. And why the idiotic chase scene? See more Read all reviews
