Been a while since Ive done a movie review which I typically like to do on Fridays. Nothing really great has been playing, so it’s been a while. 
Be warned, the opening is disturbing. It made me uncomfortable and will make most people uncomfortable.
That aside, this was a good movie and I would recommend to see it in theaters.
I am a huge fan of the Jack Reacher books….but given that they can be pretty disturbing, themselves, I’ve decided not to see the movie. Sounds like a good decision! 🙂
I’ve read most of the Reacher books and what I find disturbing is that they have 5’2" (maybe shorter?) Tom Cruise playing Reacher who is supposed to be 6’5" Not sure I can buy that.
We saw this film a week ago and I agree that the opening with the scenes of the sniper was disturbing but I’ve seen worse. All in all, I’m not a huge Tom Cruise fan but thought he was good in this portrayal. I’d recommend it if you like action. Great car chase scene.
