Robin had the opportunity to see the 2012 film Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise in the title role.

 

Robin’s thoughts:

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher is surprisingly good, although he reminds Robin of former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and he would have preferred someone like Jason Stratman or Chuck Norris.

The problem is the very poor dialogue, the overdrawn and one-dismensional characters, the muddled plot and the lack of conflict and thus the absentee tension.

 

Robin’s Verdict:

Dismissable.
