Saw it. Enjoyed it. It was funnier than I expected and really a solid piece of entertainment but what it was, it wasn’t earth shattering and it didn’t provide some new twist on the genre.

Fans of the Jack Reacher novels should actually be pleased with this film, not because of it being a faithful adaption, rather because it serves as a 2 hour long trailer for the series of books. the dialogue in venture was pretty smart and it makes me want to actually go read the book series. this is even more so true because of how the fancy been vocal about their displeasure with Tom Cruise playing the role and that makes me want to read the book and see how a Jack Reacher should really be told. if I were the author or a fan I couldn’t be more pleased with that as an outcome of seeing the movie.
