Jay Movie Talk Ep.337 Jack Reacher- Calm, Cold, and Ready to Throw Hands
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.
