On Jack Reacher


Jack Reacher is better than you’d expect it to be, but still with its fair share of weird funny sad juxtapositions. The main narrative thread is dark, relevant and engaging. Tom Cruise’s arrogance as Jack Reacher works, at times, at other times the comedy that’s meant to arise from it feels misplaced. His don’t-give-a-damn anti hero isn’t quite the Driver, but still works. Enjoyable, slightly weird and sure to spawn a franchise. Bourne has nothing to fear.
