When Jack Reaches Around, never look back.
It comforts me to know that I was not the only one who thought that.
Bit of a stretch…. *cough*
People killing each other. Americans.
I went there the first time for the Werner Herzog cameo… not completeley a waste of time but.. meh…
We get it Tom, you’re still an Alpha Male and we are all Beta’s in your shadow…
:-J
THis actually doesn’t look terrible -and the car chase in the last one was very good.
First one was great. Say what you want about cruise being a total maniac, but he’s just about the only proper movie star left.
1st one was awful. The blonde actress wasn’t even trying to act.
Jack Reacher the character is a 6 foot 4 inch man mountain. Tom Cruise does not fit that profile!
