(Movie Review) Jack Reacher (2012)

Cruise is immortal. This has been confirmed. I mean, really, go back and look at him in Legend. Or go look at the first Mission Impossible movie. If possible he looks younger NOW than he did in that movie. He might also be in better shape now. Regardless, he is a a freak of nature. 50 years old and STILL a believable action hero. That has never been more apparent than it was to me in this movie.

Storyline: A man is accused of a crime that he claims he didn't commit. While being interrogated he gives them only one name...Jack Reacher. Reacher (Cruise) seeks this man out to try to help figure out if he did or did not commit the crimes that are being accused of. Reacher goes on a mission to gather the facts and find out who committed the crime.

Worth the Admission? I think that it is. Cruise might not be 6'5 and 250lbs, but this movie looks like it was made specifically for Cruise to dominate. He might not be a believable "bad a**" (in the way that the book writes it) but the way that the movie writes him (as a tough guy that is underestimated) is perfect. He pulls off some fight scenes that many people HALF his age couldn't pull off.

I also want to add that Tom Cruise, for 50+ years old, is in amazing shape. Most of the older action guys have let themselves go. But Cruise is is awesome in the movie and shows that he still has what it takes to make a great action movie.

and Rosamund Pike is smoking hot!
