I saw this in the theater and enjoyed it since I'm a fan of Lee Child's books. Seeing this again on DVD, I see a few errors I don't like. Tom is in another fight being surrounded by thugs and he beats them all. Just rush in and beat his a**, don't do it one-at-a-time! Same as in the 1st Reacher film. Same as in the Samurai film. The fights I felt were poorly choreographed. Huge hard punches but no bruises or blood. Tom/Jack got 'whupped' on the roof in the final fight but no blood or visible bruises on his face after 2 vicious punches and 1 kick. "C'mon, Gimme A Break!" A little more real please. Too bad Jason Statham wasn't chosen for this. He would have been 100% better and the right physical size too.

4 stars is generous, but I did watch the whole thing, so...

Watched on Amazon. Shut it off half way through. Who wrote this mess? Can we have women depicted as women, not something that looks female but might as well be a male? Action scenes good. That's about it. Waste of time.

Don't get me wrong, I get it why some people think this movie is amazing. When I was 18, Jean-Claude van Damme movies pressed all the right buttons for me, too. But if you have watched so many movies as I did, I can hardly find anything going for this movie. It is well executed, highly professional, it has no rough edges, only smooth curves, it has extremely high production values, actors who know what they are doing and the movie is amazingly boring. Nothing in there which I did not see 100 times already, the plot is as average as it can get. I don't know, but if there would be something imperfect about this movie, I might maybe be somehow able to get some joy out of it, but this is a higly polished granite, which could easily be a diamond if the filmmakers were willing to take at least the slightest bit of risk. Well, if you want to nitpick, I could not really believe that Tom Cruise is the super agent, the whole daughter thing felt tacked on and Cobie Smulders does not strike me as a military type (a role that was much, much better filled by Demi Moore in "a few good men") I don't know if it is me or if Hollywood has lost it, but I most certainly can find more enjoyment out of the older Cruise movies. 5 Stars out of 10 from me for the ultimate non-risk boringness
