The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Richard, "The King of British Thriller Novels". The director further concretized the plot in the book and used very shocking camera effects to set off the film's atmosphere. Whether it is the actual shooting of the scene or the special effects, it adds a lot to the storyline. The biggest difference between this film and the American action films we have seen in the past is the addition of a lot of martial arts fights. For a long time, "Kung Fu drama" seems to be the symbol of Chinese movies. However, in this film, in order to highlight Jack's instinctive ranger personality, a lot of melee fighting scenes are specially added, so that Tom Cruise's tough guy image is undoubtedly established. on the screen. From this point of view, the director's choreography and shaping are really painstaking. Christopher McCauley, who has several roles, has provoked the role of writing and directing himself. It can be seen that the first film he directed, Michael Cowley put a lot of effort into the story, and he must have done a very in-depth study on the storyline in the early stages of filming, so that the complex plot and character settings, and the development of the interlocking events became clear and clear, allowing the audience to watch. Immersive and full of expectations.
The film follows former Army police officer Jack Reacher who investigates a downtown shooting in order to help clear Barr. A lot of foreshadowing and suspense were set at the beginning of the film, and the truth of the case finally surfaced as the content of the film advanced layer by layer. In the process of solving the case, the detective process of Jack Reacher and lawyer Helen is full of thrills and twists and turns. Helen was even kidnapped by the murder group. But the brave and fearless Jack rescued the beautiful female lawyer with the help of the sniper owner. The ending may be the most unexpected part of the film. Jack "solved" all the evil forces without waiting for the police to come. He didn't think about the mutual affection he had with the young female lawyer, but was nostalgic for his homeless life. Jack chose to leave for freedom and faith, and finally achieved his goal, getting justice for Barr and allowing the real murderer to receive the punishment he deserved.
This film is a comprehensive masterpiece that integrates multi-faceted elements. The three-dimensional surround film effects, the selection of handsome and beautiful actors, and the exciting plot settings all make the audience move. At the same time, after all the wars subsided, it sublimated into the search for true freedom and faith.
