4 stars
Smart action thriller starring Tom Cruise as a former Military Policeman and brilliant detective and who comes out of hiding to assist in the investigation of a sniper shooting rampage. Rosamund Pike (An Education, Wrath of the Titans) co-stars as the daughter of the DA (Richard Jenkins) who has chosen to represent the shooter. I thought this was a well done, very intelligent story. However, it felt like a few details were skimmed over too quickly (such as why was Reacher demoted from the MP? among others); details that I assume were explained in greater detail in the book version. I didn't read the book, but although Cruise does not physically resemble the title character, he has proven he can pull off fight scenes quite well, and be convincing as a highly intelligent character. Very good film.
