Jack Reacher

technically mostly watched last night but i fell asleep and finished it today — watched with the tom cruise and chris mcq commentary (which i have a lot of thoughts on but all i’ll say is “the wrong place (bryan singer movie) at the right time (the mid to late 2000s)”). fantastic movie to watch and listen to commentary for what was truly the beginning of an era of the mcqcruise director-actor partnership, and that burns off the screen in a way i didn’t fully appreciate at the time, and is certainly made apparent when comparing to jack reacher 2 (unfortunately there is not as much love behind the camera there).  this may not be my cup of tea, but i can appreciate how well laid out it is in what it is doing - we aren’t making the firm (1993)s like we used to - but these two will fight their hardest to (as they have proved since).
