Introduction
A man named James Barr is accused of taking 6 shots killing 5 civilians and then running away. The police find James and tell him that his only way to stay off the death roll is to confess to killing those people. However, James is not afraid of the death penalty. Instead of signing the confession, James Barr writes: “Get Jack Reacher.” The police and the lawyers are confused, who is this Jack Reacher, and why does James want him.
They soon find out that Jack Reacher is a excellent former army cop who has solved many cases. However, he also is a drifter who no one knows how to track. He is nearly impossible to find, so much that some may think that he is dead. However, Jack Reacher shows up at the lawyer’s front door. Jack wants to make sure that James pays for what he did. However, when Jack takes a closer look at the evidence, he realizes that James may have been framed and he sets out to find the true killer.
Ripe Apples
Jack Reacher only cares about bringing wrongdoers to justice. He wants people to be held responsible for their actions. We see Jack defend the innocent and punish the guilty. We see the true killer get revealed and they get what they deserve. This movie doesn’t have a lot of ripe apples as it is made for an action genre.
Rotten Apples
There is a lot of violence in this film. We see many people get shot and fall over dead. We see Jack engage in some fist fights. Two men he punches in their midsection multiple times. One person he almost breaks his finger and we see this onscreen. We also see Jack dig his fingers into a person’s eye socket. Near the end Jack breaks many bones in his opponent’s body before ultimately killing him. There is also a lot of blood in this scene.
The sexual content in this movie is moderate. Viewers can see the back side of a woman’s body in only her undergarments for a few seconds. We also see some women wear shirts that reveal cleavage. We hear Jack pick a fight with a woman and call her a hooker and a slut to see if he can get her angry to attract attention. This whole 3 minute scene can just be skipped if preferred.
There is one scene in a bar where we see some people drinking.
We hear 3 or 4 uses of “h-ll” and a misuse of the Lord’s name in vain(1 paired with “d-m-“). Viewers hear a few (2 to 3) uses of “d-m-,” “b-t-h,” and “sh–.” We also hear a few inappropriate name calls like “pr-c-” and “a–hole.” We hear a few other words but not much more than this. There are no f bombs.
Additional Thoughts
This film definitely satisfies the viewer who like action and adventure. It is an exciting film that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Tom Cruise does a good job playing the role of Jack Reacher. I wish we saw him as Jack Reacher in more than just two movies because he did phenomenal. The biggest downsides to this movie was the language and the violence, as some of this content was too much. Other than that it was a great movie that I’d watch again! I think I’ve seen it 3 times already.
Conclusion
In the end, Jack Reacher is a great film with lots of action and adventure. The plot is exciting and easy to follow. I highly recommend this film to any viewer who likes action and adventure. It will have you at the edge of your seat. You know what is even more awesome? This film is really cheap to buy! Click below to check out the film and purchase it for your next movie night!
