"Detective Jack", a suspense film? Action movie? Or a suspenseful action movie!

The criminal group tracked and used the sniper Barr, mastered Barr's shooting and combat habits through a series of methods such as drawing close and pretending to be friends, trying to cover up a commercial murder as a perverted act of a veteran sniper shooting civilians. Coupled with the fact that the bribed police officers deliberately led to the snipers, the case seemed to come to light.
But Barr's sentence, "Find Jack," brings the case into a more complicated or clearer situation. The complication is that Barr's record of shooting civilians before his discharge from the army and his final statement in the play that "Jack will come to his rescue" confuses whether Jack has anything to do with the shooting of civilians; it is clear that Jack is a People who have their own view of justice are not bound by the law. Perhaps, the few people Barr shot and killed when he was about to be discharged from the army was Jack who took the initiative to find him, with the help of a sniper who was crazy to shoot real people to eradicate the evil forces in society, and took advantage of the law to keep the sniper innocent. It can also explain why when the underworld old man finally said that even if he tried, the law would not necessarily convict anyone, Jack shot him dead. This is Jack's view of justice that is not bound by the law. If the law can't decide, he will try and execute him. He is similar to the green forest hero in our country, and it is also the personal heroism that has been advocated in Western movies.
Of course, Jack's view of justice cannot be denied. As long as a murder case is committed, he must pay for it in blood. Therefore, Jack also believed that the sniper was the murderer at the beginning, and it was not until he gradually analyzed the case and found suspicious points that he thought that the murderer was someone else.
Throughout the whole film, I personally think that Jack is a good man and a knight, and there is no need to doubt whether he is related to the shooting incident.
The whole movie, as a reasoning and suspense movie, is too slow to gather and pee too much, it is better to watch "Charlotte"; as an action movie, it is better to watch "Mission Impossible" and "Spy Shots" without the dazzling scenes of big production. Heavy"; as a legal literary film, it is too bloody, it is better to watch "The Good Wife".
If I had to give this movie a score, I would give it 65.

    Brother Atang is as handsome as ever~ The whole audience laughed to death after hanging up the phone! It's just that the big boss died so weak in the end... Why did he hang up like that with a single shot... Plus: Why is the heroine so familiar? It turned out to be Jane!

    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.

Jack Reacher quotes

  • Sandy: [Sandy, Jeb and four other guys all surround Reacher outside a bar]

    [to Reacher]

    Sandy: You still think you're funny now, creep?

    Jeb: Shut your mouth, Sandy! No one is talking to you!

    Jack Reacher: It's your last chance to walk away.

    Jeb: [chuckles] Are you kidding? It's five against one.

    Jack Reacher: [shakes his head] It's *three* against one.

    Jeb: [perplexed] *How* do you figure?

    Jack Reacher: Well, once I take out the leader, which is you, I'll have to contend with one or two enthusiastic wingmen. The last two guys, they always run.

    Jeb: Oh, you, uh, you've done this before?

    Jack Reacher: [reluctantly nods] It's getting late.

    [Jeb moves in]

    Jack Reacher: Remember, you wanted this.

    [Jeb smiles and swings at Reacher, who ducks and elbows Jeb in the forehead, who falls to the ground]

    Jack Reacher: It's okay.

    [helps Jeb up]

    Jack Reacher: Get up.

    [kicks Jeb in the groin from behind, Jeb groans and Reacher pushes him aside with his foot. The other four move in closer]

    Jack Reacher: Okay, let me know who's who. Let's get this done.

    [Reacher easily takes down the other four, with him holding the last guy's foot under his arm. Two of the guys get up and both stare at Reacher with fear]

    Jack Reacher: Really?

    [kicks the last guy in the chest, who screams as he falls to the ground. The two guys run away as the cops come. Sandy runs away as well]

    Cop: [points his gun at Reacher] On the ground.

    Jack Reacher: That's a pretty impressive response time, fellas.

    Cop: Do it!

    [Reacher reluctantly gets down on the ground, next to a groaning Jeb]

    Cop: Hands behind your back.

    Jack Reacher: [to Jeb] Who hired you?

  • 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.
