tom cruise is back in action—literally. Tons of it, and of the loudest, most pulse-pounding varieties.
To have moviegoers on the edges of their seats is at least the intention of jack reacher, the latest film in which Cruise plays an appealing rogue with a big gun, a tortured past and little patience for anything that gets in his way on the lonely road to the truth.
But will Reacher fans—who already weren't nuts about the 6-foot-5 hero of lee child's best-selling book series being played by the, er, shorter Cruise—be able to handle the truth?
The truth being that Jack Reacher is a pretty decent action movie—if you like Tom Cruise. (Critics are unanimous, however, about the "surprise" casting of German filmmaker Werner Herzog as the villain being the greatest thing ever.)
But not every critic is singing Tom's praises Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaumgave the film an unsatisfactory C+ and criticized the entire flick:
"That Cruise fails to make a case for Reacher's allure, though, has less to do with physical dissonance than it does with the film's inability—stupefying inability, really—to otherwise make a case for the character's originality in a movie so choked with visual clichés and dreadfully moldy dialogue,"she wrote.
