10.JACK REACHER (2013)

Despite the presence of Tom Cruise, “Jack Reacher” is a pretty good movie. The story revolves around a deranged sniper who guns down a bunch of people in broad daylight for no apparent reason–(Or does he? Cue the dramatic music)–and reaches out to Jack Reacher (Cruise) for help after he is apprehended. The plot is clean and simple, the action sequences are damn good, and it co-stars the lovely Rosamund Pike *sigh* of “Gone Girl” (on whom I have a bit of a crush, if you can’t tell). Alas, there is that matter of the omnipresent Cruise, who apparently seemed to think his role required little more than a cocky smile and the assistance of good stuntman. But don’t let that stop you from enjoying this one.
