Movie review: jack reacher / tom cruise movie ...no spoiler...

[Brown81]

Meh. Jack Reacher isn't a Ninja.

He's just strong as fuck and convinced he can kick anybody's ass. I was disappoint.

Not a horrible movie, but just not as good as it could have been.

Rosamund Pike is REALLY hot.

Some JR quotes:

“Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I'm carrying spare pants. Then I'd need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I've got a house and a car and a savings plan and I'm filling out all kinds of forms.”

“To fill a small bag means selecting,and choosing, and evaluating. There's no logicial end to that process. Pretty soon I would have a big bag, and then two or three. A month later I'd be like the rest of you.”

“An unprovoked head butt is like bringing a sawed-off shotgun to a knife fight.”

Reacher nodded. ‘But you know what they say. Only suckers get sucker-punched.

Rolls of quarters in your fists—good old- fashioned technology.

After Cruise screwed over the MI franchise in his quest for a star vehicle, (I made the mistake of seeing the first one in the theater as I am/was a huge Peter Graves MI fan) the last thing I'm gonna do is spend any money that gets studio execs or scientologists to think Cruise should continue his spree and murder another franchise.
