Tom Cruisey plays a drifter who makes justice on his own terms, in perhaps the most eighties film not produced in the eighties.

Seems like weird casting.

If you're that loyal to your supermarket novels, I guess it can piss you off. But defend something worth defending. It was so anachronistic, I wouldn't have been surprised if they just decided to change Reacher's name to Dalton and call it Roadhouse 2. For a non-nudey film, it had a hilariously ridiculous delivery system set up to present heaving heroine bosom. Stupid plot holes. Why does this terrorizing massacre of a crime not bring in the FBI? Why does a single Sidney Portier wannabe of a detective get to work such a huge case on his own? How does a criminal organization building such a sophisticated operation give themselves away by trailing the hero with a vehicle registered to the corporation behind the conspiracy? They also pronounce Audi as "AW-dee," instead of "OW-dee," which may be correct for all I know, but pisses me off nonetheless.

Are you in the midst of a Tom Cruise film festival?

Edgy MD Nov 25 2014 09:23 AM Re: Jack Reacher (2012)

If two makes a festival. The other one (not great or anything) was better. I think it's an "Available on Netflix" Festival.

What a complete load of overrated shit he's been a part of. My fave has to be Cocktail, a real hate-watch.

Edgy MD Nov 25 2014 11:42 AM Re: Jack Reacher (2012)

I just realize I watched Minority Report about two months ago. I can't recall if we bailed or stuck with it.

he's not worth investing that much of time in... i just thought the double features would suffice, in terms of giving some broad strokes about his career. But if you want my top 10 (in chronological order): (1983) Risky Business (1986) The Color of Money (1988) Rain Man (1989) Born on the Fourth of July (1992) A Few Good Men (1996) Jerry Maguire (1999) Magnolia (2003) The Last Samurai (2013) Oblivion (2014) Edge of Tomorrow And ranking my top 5: 1. The Last Samurai 2. Magnolia 3. Rain Man 4. Risky Business 5. Jerry Maguire
