The clichéd police method of solving crimes. Too long background introduction.

Many people just wanted to see the big scene of Tom Cruise and his handsome face.

Unfortunately, the first fifteen minutes were not there.

Only a lengthy background introduction.

Everyone knows that this is a conventional background statement, showing the protagonist and suggesting the villain. State the goal.

Unfortunately, it's too long.

The other is why we should help others solve the case. This answer is not clear and solid enough. The logic is not smooth enough.

The villain did not appear.

The protagonist lives in the background sound most of the time. The previous part is too long. Although there are gun battles and conflict scenes, there is no protagonist.

    The movie basically followed the original, with only some subtractions, but it didn't even make half of the novel. Tom Cruise is not like Jack Leach, who is about 1.9 meters tall, tough and mysterious in my imagination.

    1. "Can you drive at your age?" "I can do other things at my age." 2. "I'm not afraid of being popular." "Because that means you're not pregnant."

Jack Reacher quotes

  • Jack Reacher: Look out the window.

    Helen: No, I've work to do.

    Jack Reacher: Just humor me.

    Helen: And you need to leave.

    Jack Reacher: Okay.

    [Grabs Helen's arm and starts to pull her to the window]

    Helen: Let, let go of me.

    Jack Reacher: Would you tell me what you see?

    Helen: I see the same... things I see every day.

    Jack Reacher: Well, imagine you've never seen it. Imagine you've spent your whole life in other parts of the world being told every day you're defending freedom. And finally you decide you've had enough. Time to see what you've given up your whole life for. Maybe get some of that freedom for yourself. Look at the people. Now tell me which ones are free. Free from debt. Anxiety. Stress. Fear. Failure. Indignity. Betrayal. How many wish that they were born knowing what they know now? Ask yourself how many would do things the same way over again? And how many would live their lives like me.

  • 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.
