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.

Critics Consensus

Jack Reacher is an above-average crime thriller with a smoothly charismatic performance from Tom Cruise.

Casting Tom Cruise as the former military policeman Reacher is far-fetched to say the least. That said, this is enjoyably boisterous.

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

3/5

Ultimately, the film rises and falls on Cruise's aggressively magnetic performance.

3/5

Jack Reacher entertains with a good bit of pulpy dramatic irony.

2/4

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.

Im not sure what level of recommendation it is when you say a film was better than you thought it would be, but there it is.

Jack Reacher investigates a veteran military sniper’s mass shooting. The movie is filled with solid action and a nice twist.

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?
