Movie: Jack Reacher

Posted on 10:01 AM by Unknown
The NYT frowns without saying much, while Rolling Stone gushes. I am somewhere in between. Tom Cruise plays only one character, but he plays it well. I enjoyed this rendition better than, e.g. the latest Mission Impossible movie. This one is also interesting for how the politics of guns are handled, something I was suprised to see the NYT not mention.

Recommended if you like the character Tom Cruise plays.
