I saw many years ago the animated version, but this live version has everything going for. The story, the voices, the pig are remarkable. One of those movies who are definite for the whole family.
Jack reacher is not a character well known to most of moviegoers. However the movie pace and action is very well directed and provides a lot of surprises and satisfaction.
I had never seen before this movie and i bought it just to see what the hype about it was. It was a pleasant surprise and a monumental cinema achievement both from the technical perspective as well as the story and character development part. The first 20 min of the film are as close as you can get to the frontlines, without being there.
This movie is rarely mentioned in lists of recommended action movies, it is well worth it. Lots of suspense, explosions and action for fans of nicolas cage and john malkovich.
Many people have critized this version of the 1968 classic. I've find the movie entertaining and a closer approach to the original novel. It would have been nice to have had the opportunity to see sequels to this one. Lots of opportunities.
