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.

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

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 ...

Austin Chronicle

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

Rated: 3/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 2/4

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.

Regardless of Tom Cruise's size, he was superior to the gentleman from the TV series. As usual, he makes every part he plays come alive and no one surpasses him. I have seen all of his movies more than once and appreciate him more each time!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and think the movie could have been much more authentic with an actor more intimidating. Big fan of Rosamund Puke though so watched the movie.

Pretty good. Action maybe a bit lackluster here and there especially the final fight. But the story is very nice and the cast is great. Definitely a Tom Cruise classic.

Didn't think I would but I really liked this. A great mix of action, thrills and intrigue. The writing and casting was great and Tom Cruise was brilliant as always. He rarely makes a bad movie.
