Werner Herzog shows his villainous side in the ‘Jack Reacher’ trailer

Here’s the theatrical trailer for the upcoming Tom Cruise action pic Jack Reacher. The film is directed by Christopher McQuarrie (The Way of the Gun) and is based on a best-selling series of books by author Lee Child. In addition to a cast featuring Robert Duvall, Richard Jenkins, and Rosamund Pike, the film also features director Werner Herzog as the bad guy. Although the film looks average at best, I’m going to see it just to hear Herzog speak. Trailer and synopsis after the break.

When a gunman takes five lives with six shots, all evidence points to the suspect in custody. On interrogation, the suspect offers up a single note: “Get Jack Reacher!” So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.
