The last shot determines the tone of the whole film

Adapted from a novel, the overall plot is relatively reasonable, and there are many reversals in the whole film.

At first Jack Reacher appeared, saying that he was not here to help the gunman, but to solve him. The bad heroine's father is the villain, and turns out to be the little black detective. The biggest reversal is obviously to reveal that the gunman is not the real murderer.

The factor that made the film a popular movie was the last shot at the old man. Usually, the protagonists in the end, because of the influence of some halo effects, will choose to let the government functional departments to solve the problem, even in the face of hateful enemies, they must put aside their private opinions, and let the villains get "legal sanctions." In this film, the old man said very happily that even if the police came, he could still have a set of rhetoric that would make the hero tragic in an instant. Just when the audience thought "No way, here again, the male protagonist is going to be humanitarian again", the reacher shot the problem, solved the problem simply and neatly, without any worries, and finally met the mood of the viewers. If in the end he insists on waiting for the functional organization to come, then I can probably only give 2 stars...

Anyway, not bad, waiting for the second one.

    It's a traditional detective film with a tough guy. The story is a good story, and the suspense turns are good. But the execution was very mediocre, somewhat boring, the suspense didn’t work well, the action scene didn’t catch the audience, and the middle was boring, so the beginning and the end were fine.

    Chasing a car is filmed into an inner scene, and the inner scene seems to be in a daze. It seems that there are a lot of great people, and they all belong to the background introduction. They are very good and the atmosphere is good enough, but they all lose the ability to move when they encounter the heroes who are not good. The story is very simple. It was a failure to portray characters, and in the end the actor couldn't get up.

Jack Reacher quotes

  • Jack Reacher: You think I'm a hero? I am not a hero. I'm a drifter with nothing to lose. Now you killed that girl to put me in a frame. I mean to beat you to death and drink your blood from a boot. Now, this is how it's gonna work. You're gonna give me the address and I'll be along when I am damn good and ready. If she doesn't answer the phone when I call this number, if I even think you've hurt her, I disappear. And if you're smart, that scares you, because I'm in your blind spot and I have nothing better to do.

  • Gary: I'm gonna need to see some I.D.

    Jack Reacher: Go get Sandy.

    Gary: Well, I need to see something.

    Jack Reacher: How about the inside of an ambulance?
