There’s other similar transgressions for which he just seems to get a free pass because he’s apparently trusting, and I even think he was said to have “kind eyes”. Though somewhat convoluted, the plot is well conceived and the large cast supports Cruise's commanding presence nicely. Ritchson looks like he can play the drifter type, and as he’s almost 40, he’s heading towards middle age where you can’t figure out what you want in life.

Five people are targeted by a sniper in broad daylight, and it’s up to Detective Emerson to find out who did it. The law has its limits, but Reacher does not when his fight for the truth puts him against an unexpected enemy with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.Richard Jenkins and Robert Duvall do their usual excellent work, though it is Werner Herzog as a wildly over-the-top villain who makes things positively gleeful in his few scenes. I know there’s numerous novels which have been released, but I prefer to wait for big or small-screen adaptations of novels.

When an unspeakable crime is committed, all evidence points to the suspect in custody who offers up a single note in defence: "Get Jack Reacher!Our man can be very chatty when he wants to be, so it’s a shame there’s no subtitles on the preview I watched, since when he does talk, he can talk ten-to-the-dozen, and I had to rewind the programme a bit to repeat those scenes.
