I guess I am a victim of the times. for 6 mornings in a row seeing the wife crying about 20 kids getting blown away (she just had to watch all the news coverage)...Then 2 firemen in an ambush.
The first 15 minutes of this movie watching a sniper do his thing. All the while this was not Dorothy's first choice of movies. Yay me. Real uncomfortable.
5 minutes of "Im Tom Cruise" , I banged one broad, and got another wet while clothes shopping.
5 minutes of "he's Jack Reacher" and he lives like a homeless guy. He'll never ever be found...even though no one is looking for him cause hes done nothing wrong.
Hi, I'm Jack Reacher...I heard you were looking for me, I was just across the street.
Now lets list the "what the fuck" moments.
2 WTFs - Bad guys - They get angry cause their mook kills another mook, and gets rid of the body (Succesfuly!) "We have perfect ways of doing things." - Then they kill a girl in front of her home, out in the open. Dumps body along side motel office. Who knows how many cameras filmed them. Oh boy, Jack is in trouble now.....except he has an alibi. With the DA's duaghter for 5 hours. Girl dead for only 2.
2 WTFs - Car chase - Bad guys have 10 minute head start. (3 minutes of Cruise stroking his knob, errr shifter) While running away from cops...even though he does not have to. He gets right behind them with no effort. He even blocks them in, with the cops a stone throw away, a gift for the cops......noooo, go ahead bad guys, take a lead again. This time you can get away.
1 WTF - Hey DA lady, We have enuff evidence to get the guy off, and get the real sniper......DA lady says, um, no...lets back out. What about her grudge against Daddy....which is only alluded to, but never confirmed.
She gets kidnapped- good thing there is no security in the DAs building. Only Jack can save her........with his new best friend Robert Duvall - The Blind Sniper. They became freinds cause Jack proved himself to be one of the best snipers in the world (wow, lotta snipers in this movie). Jack dodges shot after shot from the evil sniper, and 2 other guys with automatic fire. WAIT FOR IT......The big WTF - Jack kills the evil cop hidding behind the DA's daughter(99.6% cover). He does this while flying from one side of a doorway to the other. The bullet seemingly goes between her hair, and ear. I could almost hear Jack Reacher say, Damn that was Tom Cruise worthy.

I really didn't expect it to be anything but another mindless action flick.

Sounds like the book, with all the smarts removed.
