Well, it looks like as Tom Cruise passes off the Mission Impossible franchise to Jeremy Renner, he is taking on a new and more interesting one with bringing out Jack Reacher.

In an innocent heartland city, five are shot dead by an expert sniper. The police quickly identify and arrest the culprit, and build a slam-dunk case. But the accused man claims he’s innocent and says “Get Jack Reacher.” Reacher himself sees the news report and turns up in the city. The defense is immensely relieved, but Reacher has come to bury the guy. Shocked at the accused’s request, Reacher sets out to confirm for himself the absolute certainty of the man’s guilt, but comes up with more than he bargained for.

This was a great flick which clocked in at over 2 hours in length. We are getting our money’s worth for the late releases who hope to be oscar contenders. I do not expect this really get a nomination but it is a great entertainment feature. It has twists and turns, lots of bullets, and the good guys win. Do not miss this one for the holidays.
