To wrap up MayAction Month, I'm diving into one of the best action thrillers of the 2010s. Jack Reacher(2012)
Tom Cruise steps into the shoes of Lee Child's mysterious drifter with a code and fists that talk louder than words.
In this episode, I break down:
*Why Cruise's casting caused controversy, and why he still made it work.
*The film's smart approach to action
*Standout scenes: opening sniper scene, bar brawl, and that dope car chase.
*Why is this movie a throwback noir disguised as a modern thriller?
*How Jack Reacher quietly influenced the Mission: Impossible franchise.
And more.
