Good story, bad filming

Although I haven't read the original book, I can imagine that the reasoning of the whole story should be very exciting. Being able to finally overturn all the evidence to overturn the case when all the evidence points to the suspect is just as wonderful as Li Changyu overturning the Simpson murder case back then. But the whole reasoning process is broken.
The director is Tom, who is more suitable for action movies, not suitable for directing this reasoning and action drama. There are many clues in the film, such as why did Emerson help Qu Ke? He only said you'll see to the lawyer. Then why in the end, I didn't see it at all. Also, is the interest relationship between the bad guys and the dead only as simple as that one factory? How could they be stupid enough to use that company's car to follow Jack? A lot of places can't stand up to scrutiny. What's even more funny is that when Jack was beaten for the first time, the two people who beat him were so funny! Was the director trying to inject comedy into the film, or was the director trying to keep Jack from getting knocked out so quickly? And Jack has been an agent for so many years, why does he not know why someone appeared behind him? Such a skill can still walk in the rivers and lakes for many years without being hurt? This hero is too mediocre.
All in all, this is the worst action movie I've ever seen. He should really put down action films and make more emotional films like Vanilla Sky to broaden his acting career, so that he can win the Golden Man! In the eye-opening, the difference in acting between him and Nicole Kidman is very obvious. Nicole Kidman deserves to be an Oscar winner. The characters are brought to life. But on the other hand, Tom is much inferior.
Anyway, I still like him very much, his smile is so charming!

    If you like Tom Cruise, there is a topless lens inside, but nothing else.

    I was so bored, the dumb puzzler must think that he is extraordinary, IQ is too high, and the chatter is speechless.

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.
