Jack Reacher [DVD]

Product Information

Reacher and the alleged gunman have a history that dates back to their military service when Reacher investigated him for heinously murdering civilians during a psychotic break, a crime that he really did commit, but for which he went unpunished due to one of those pesky legal technicalities. I know the Jack Reacher books are incredibly popular, but I’m not feeling that come across in this adaptation. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. When you hire Tom Cruise to be in your Tom Cruise movie, there's never a question that you're going to get your money's worth. Written for the screen and directed by Christopher McQuarrie and produced by Tom Cruise, Don Granger, Paula Wagner and Gary Levinsohn, the film stars Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, Werner Herzog, David Oyelowo and Robert Duvall.

Even then, unless I wasn’t following it properly, the plot seems to chop and change, and doesn’t have an awful lot of coherence.

Jack is a bit of a smart-arse and quietly sarcastic, who lives off an army pension (which must be worth a fortune if he doesn’t have to actually earn a living), but no sooner has he attracted this unwanted attention, and he learns a man is dead, but our hero has very little to say about why he’s been arrested, other than the fact he hasn’t done it. No matter; as a leading man, Cruise is always going to be himself anyway, so the ghostlike qualities built in to his character take on their own mythical qualities that allow both Cruise and Reacher to get the job done. So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Reacher against an unexpected enemy with a skill for violence, a secret to keep and a target on Reachers back. There’s other similar transgressions for which he just seems to get a free pass because he’s apparently trusting, and I even think he was said to have “kind eyes”.

As for our hero who tries to act all ‘Miss Marple’ in his occasionally methodical pursuit of the truth, at one point, he goes to use a car with the full knowledge of the police, even though earlier on we were told they couldn’t find any records of him, including a driving licence, since he lives his life off-grid. Personalized advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. When a gunman takes five lives in what seems like an open and shut murder case, all evidence points to the suspect in custody. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centers that host Etsy.After learning that Turner is being made a scapegoat for a government conspiracy involving a rogue American soldier, Reacher breaks her out of prison, resolving to clear her name and expose the truth. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Reacher against an unexpected enemy with a skill for violence, a secret to keep and a target on Reacher's back. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Settle in for an action movie worthy of Cruise’s long catalogue of hits, reinvigorating the success he found earlier in his career with the era-defining pop culture classic: the Mission Impossible franchise.

Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. When five people are gunned down and all the evidence points to someone who swears he's innocent, only one man has the skills to take the true criminals out. Richard Jenkins and Robert Duvall do their usual excellent work, though it is Werner Herzog as a wildly over-the-top villain who makes things positively gleeful in his few scenes.Reacher has a dark past with the suspect; after the same man became the prime suspect in an Army shooting, and got off on a technicality, Reacher told him if he ever did it again, he would kill him. And embrace the world of Jack once – or many times – more with our complete selection of DVDs and Blu-rays, encompassing both entries in the franchise. The rest of the time in the first two episodes I’ve seen so far, he just stands there staring like a NPC (non-player character) from a videogame who hasn’t been given any lines to say for this scene, and is happy to just stare into the middle distance. With time running out and government operatives in hot pursuit, the pair find themselves on the run across the country, facing a desperate battle to remain one step ahead.
