    Jack Reacher begins with a tense, realistic and post Newtown, unnerving mass sniper shooting. Though "artfully" done and not gratuitous by any means, it does hit hard, demonstrating early on that the film intends to play it a little rougher than your typical PG-13 flick. The film, written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who penned The Usual Suspects, benefits from the writers talent for sharp dialogue and biting wit. It also benefits from a larger than life, almost campy mega-star turn from Tom Cruise as Reacher, a man who can make you laugh just as easily as he can "beat you to death and drink your blood out of a boot". That is just one of the clever quips Reacher utters on his path of destruction, that includes one of the more realistic car chases in recent memory and a terrific climatic finale at a construction site. The villains Jai Courtney and director Werner Herzog!! Are also a treat. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's smarter than average and does entertain.
