Jack Reacher
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Tom Cruise. That's it.
Scene Pop: Reacher bashes a rock into the back of someone's head.
Briggs Breakdown: 2 body scars, 3 head bashing into objects or vice-a-versa, 2 injuries to the groin, a mighty tackle in the rain, an arm-breaking stomp, and potential use of a taser and an automatic rifle with scope.
Effective?: Sorta. Only as a generic affair.
Check it Out?: Not really. I'm not really aware of the "Jack Reacher" book series by Lee Child, but I have been hearing the distresses from fans that the diminutive Cruise was cast as the bulky, tall pulp hero. The only thing I really liked was the car engine noises in the background audio, which does effectively pump up the footage. However, from the whiny bed-ridden victim and his eye-rolling narration to the non-presence of story to the bad edit job with the concluding handicap match to that random rock explosion, I was just stoic and weary from the banality of it all.
