‘Jack Reacher’ Trailer

A few days ago the international trailer for Christopher McQuarrie‘s Jack Reacher surfaced online, however it was entirely in Russian.  Now we have the same trailer in English, although the film still looks generic no matter what language it’s in.  Generally speaking, Tom Cruise doesn’t usually make bad decisions when it comes to picking roles, and the addition of Werner Herzog makes this one that is still worth a watch. Plus, since this is based on a series of books, sequels are already in the works, and Paramount wouldn’t waste that much money on a bad franchise, right?

Jack Reacher is set to hit theaters December 21st.

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, ex–military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter—a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right—and soon the slam-dunk case explodes. Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning—and then beat him shot for shot.
