Plot
editInPittsburgh,a man drives a van into a parking garage across theAllegheny RiverfromPNC Park,dropping a quarter into themeter.Using a rifle, he shoots and kills five people on the river's North Shore Trail from long range before driving off.
ThePittsburgh Police,headed by Detective Calvin Emerson, find a shell casing and the quarter used to pay for parking. A fingerprint on the coin belongs to James Barr, an ex-United States Armysniper.When the police raid his house, they find the van, the rifle, and Barr unconscious. During an interrogation by Emerson andDistrict AttorneyAlex Rodin, Barr is offered a choice between life in prison in exchange for a full confession or a guaranteeddeath sentence,as Rodin has never lost a case.
Barr instead writes "GET JACK REACHER" on a notepad.Jack Reacheris adrifterand ex-U.S. ArmyMilitary Police Corpsinvestigator andmajor.He arrives in Pittsburgh after seeing a news broadcast about Barr. Emerson and Rodin deny Reacher's request to view the evidence, but agree to let him see Barr, who was attacked by fellow inmates and is now in a coma.
Reacher meets Barr'sdefense attorney,Helen Rodin, Alex Rodin's daughter. She tells him he can see the evidence if he will be her investigator, but Reacher retorts that he is not interested in clearing Barr. He reveals that Barr had gone on a killing spree during histour of dutyin Iraq, but was not prosecuted because, unbeknownst to Barr, his military contractor victims had just emerged from a weekend of raping numerous women, and the U.S. Army just wanted the whole mess forgotten.
Reacher vowed he would take Barr down if he tried anything like that again. He agrees to investigate if Helen visits the victims' families to learn about the people murdered that day. Reacher goes to the crime scene and finds inconsistencies. A trained sniper would have shot from a van on the nearbyFort Duquesne Bridge.
An apparently random bar fight makes Reacher realize that someone is attempting to strong-arm him into dropping his investigation. After Helen reports her findings about the victims to Reacher, he suggests that the owner of a local construction company, Oline Archer, was the real target. In contrast, the other victims served as a cover-up in order to make it look like a mass shooting of victims merely picked at random, rather than attention being focused on just Oline Archer's murder. Reacher is later framed for the murder of Sandy, the young woman who was paid to instigate the brawl.
Reacher eventually follows up a hunch to ashooting rangein neighboringOhio,owned by ex-United States Marine CorpsGunnery SergeantMartin Cash. The real perpetrators are working for a ruthless construction firm led by an ex-Soviet prisoner known only asZekChelovek( "prisoner human being" ). Zek's gang kidnaps Helen with the aid of Detective Emerson and holds her hostage at a quarry. With Cash's help, Reacher kills the henchmen and Emerson, including Charlie, the true culprit behind the shootings, before confronting the Zek. The Zek points out that Reacher has killed all who could have testified against him and doubts that he will be convicted, while also stating that an American prison would be easy compared to his previous incarceration inSiberia.
Convinced, Reacher shoots Zek in the head, killing him. When Barr awakens from his coma, he tells Helen that he has no memory of the crime, but believes that he must be guilty. Barr's mental reconstruction of how he would have committed the shootings matches Reacher's theory. A remorseful Barr is willing to accept both responsibility and punishment. However, Helen is confident he will be cleared. Meanwhile, Reacher, sitting on a bus, overhears a man verbally and physically abusing a young woman and gets up to confront him.

Production
editDevelopment
editAttempts to adapt authorLee Child'sJack Reacher novel seriesinto a film have been made ever since the character debuted in 1997'sKilling Floor.After beingoptionedwith no success toPolyGramand laterNew Line Cinema,Paramount PicturesandCruise/Wagner Productionsacquired the film rights in 2005.[5][6]ScreenwriterJosh Olsonwas then hired to adapt Child's then-most recent novel in the Reacher series,One Shot(2005).[7]In July 2010,Christopher McQuarrie,who previously collaborated with Cruise/Wagner Productions on the 2008 filmValkyrie,signed on to rework Olson's script and ultimately direct the film.[8][9]
Casting
editIn June 2011,Tom Cruisewas in talks for playing the role of Jack Reacher.[10]The following month, Cruise closed a deal with the studios and signed on for the part.[11]Some fans of the novel series became vocal over the casting of Cruise due to the actor's height (5'7 ") not matching the height of Reacher in the novels (6'5" ).[12][13]Explaining the casting decision, author Lee Child said that it would be impossible to find a suitable actor to play the giant Reacher and to recreate the feel of the book onscreen, and that Cruise had the talent to make an effective Reacher.[14]Child also said, "Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way."[11]Of Cruise's relatively small stature, Child said, "With another actor you might get 100% of the height but only 90% of Reacher. With Tom, you'll get 100% of Reacher with 90% of the height."[15]
Following the casting of Cruise,Rosamund Pikewas cast as the female lead.[16]Other actresses who were in the running for the role includedHayley AtwellandAlexa Davalos.[17]By September 2011, the main cast was locked in with the hiring ofDavid Oyelowo,Richard Jenkins,Jai Courtney,andRobert Duvall.[18][19]Werner Herzog,primarily known for his directorial work, rounded out the cast in October 2011 when he signed on to play the film's chief villain.[20]
In April 2017,Dwayne Johnsonrevealed that he was in the running to play Jack Reacher before Cruise was hired.[21]
In a 2018 interview, two years after the 2016 release ofthe sequel,Child agreed that the readers were correct in their criticism, stating:
I really enjoyed working with Cruise. He's a really, really nice guy. We had a lot of fun. But ultimately the readers are right. The size of Reacher is really, really important and it's a big component of who he is...So what I've decided to do is – there won't be any more movies with Tom Cruise. Instead we're going to take it to Netflix or something like that. Long-form streaming television, with a completely new actor. We're rebooting and starting over and we're going to try and find the perfect guy.[22]
Eventually,Alan Ritchsonwas cast as Jack Reacher for the2022 TV serieson Amazon Prime.
Filming
editProduction on the film began in October 2011 and was completed in January 2012.[23]Cruise performed all of his own driving stunts during the film's signature car chase sequence.[24]"Action to me is something very fun to shoot. The challenge in most car chases is you're trying to hide the fact that it's not the actor driving," McQuarrie said. "The challenge here was the exact opposite. We were trying to find a way to show that it was always Tom driving. He's literally driving in every stunt sequence."[25]
In February 2012, Kevin Messick, one of the film's executive producers, suedDon GrangerandGary Levinsohn,two other producers, forbreach of contractover a joint venture agreement, claiming he had "helped to develop the film, renew Paramount's options for the rights to the book, and participated in the search for a screenwriter" but starting in July 2010, had been left out of meetings with the screenwriter and the studio and not given certain drafts of the screenplay while it was under development.[23]Messick is suing for "unspecified damages, his producer's fees and the right to participate in any upcoming sequels."[23]
Music
editThe film's musical score was composed byJoe Kraemer,who previously scored director McQuarrie'sThe Way of the Gun(2000). Kraemer was announced as the composer for the film in July 2012, having already started work on it.[26]After spending eight weeks working with McQuarrie on materials to present to producers, Kraemer's hiring was approved and he directly began working on the film's opening eight minutes.[27]"I have a number of tricks that I use to spark the wild creative process," said Kraemer on his scoring process after having seen the film. "Sometimes I'll use my mathematical understanding of music to devise a theme (such as the open fifths of Reacher's theme), sometimes I'll have an orchestral color in mind (i.e. the music for THE ZEC). The actual composing process probably resemblesMax Steinermore than anyone else I know of. I start at the first frame of the movie and work my through to the end, chronologically, in order. "[28]
The film is noted for its balance between music and silence, with music primarily absent or reserved during a majority of the film's action sequences.[29][30]Discussing his approach to this balance, Kraemer described, "Music can make such an impact when it enters a scene, and obviously the only way to do that is to have silence beforehand. I also generally like to have long tails on my cues so that they sort of fade away rather than ending abruptly. In this way, I try to weave music in and out very carefully so that the audience is as unaware as possible of the entrances and exits. I often citePattonas a prime example of great spotting – a three and half hour biopic with, what, twenty-eight minutes of score? That's unheard of today. But it worked! "[27]
The score was performed by theHollywood Studio Symphonyand recorded at the Sony Scoring Stage inCulver City, California.[31]A soundtrack album for the film was released on December 18, 2012 by La-La Land Records.[32]

editThetrailerforJack Reacherwas officially released on Cruise's birthday,July 3,2012.[33]
Theatrical release
editJack Reacher,then titledOne Shot,was originally slated to be released in February 2013.[34]In March 2012, the release date was brought forward byParamount Picturesto December 21, 2012, hoping to capitalize on the box office success of Cruise'sMission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,which was released at a similar point in 2011.[34]The film's new release date pushed the release ofWorld War Zback six months.[34]
The film was released in North American markets on December 21, 2012, with a premiere initially planned for Pittsburgh'sSouthSide Worksmegaplex on December 15, 2012, which was to be attended by the film's stars, and Lee Child.[35]
On December 15, 2012, Paramount Pictures announced it was indefinitely postponing the film's premiere screening in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, out of respect for the families of the victims of theSandy Hook Elementary School shooting,which had occurred the day before. The opening scene shows a sniper shooting at people including a woman holding a small girl, and one point aiming the cross-hairs directly at her.[36]Writer-director McQuarrie endorsed the decision, saying he and Cruise insisted upon it:
Nobody should be celebrating anything 24 hours after a tragic event like that. We thought long and hard about it. This was not a snap judgment, because we wanted to give back to the city of Pittsburgh [by having the premiere there], because they were so great to us.[37]
The film held its United Kingdom premiere on December 10, 2012 at London'sOdeon Leicester Square.[38]It was released in the U.K. on December 26, 2012.

In North America, the film opened in 3,352 cinemas.[42]Jack Reacherwent on to gross $5.1 million on its opening day in the U.S. and Canada,[42]and $15.6 million in its opening weekend.[43]The film held well in its second weekend, dropping only 10.2% to a total of $14.1 million and ranking atNo.5.[44][45]

Critical response
editOnRotten Tomatoesthe film has an approval rating of 63%, based on 185 reviews, with a rating average of 6.30/10. The website's critical consensus states, "Jack Reacheris an above-average crime thriller with a smoothly charismatic performance from Tom Cruise. "[48]OnMetacriticthe film has a weighted score of 50 out of 100, based on reviews from 36 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[49]CinemaScorepolls reported that the average grade filmgoers gave the film was an "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[50][45]
Todd McCarthy ofThe Hollywood Reporterwrote: "Tom Cruise is in fine form as mysterious tough guy Jack Reacher finally reaches the big screen."[51]Peter TraversofRolling Stonewrote: "This is Cruise's show. And he nails it. The patented smile is gone, replaced by a glower that makes Jack Reacher a dark and dazzling ride into a new kind of hell."[52]
Many of the negative reviews still referred to the film as entertaining, includingThe Guardian,which called it "outrageous but entertaining".[53] Peter Debruge ofVarietywas critical of the casting of Cruise as Reacher: "Reacher is a brawny action figure whose exploits would have been a good fit for the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone back in the day, but feel less fun when delegated to a leading man like Tom Cruise. The star is too charismatic to play someone so cold-blooded, and his fans likely won't appreciate the stretch."[54] Lisa Schwarzbaum ofEntertainment Weeklywrote: "That Cruise fails to make a case for Reacher's allure, though, has less to do with physical dissonance than it does with the film's inability — stupefying inability, really — to otherwise make a case for the character's originality in a movie so choked with visual clichés and dreadfully moldy dialogue."[55]
Sequel
editWhileJack Reacherwas intended to be atentpolefor a film series, it was initially reported that asequelwould be unlikely due to its lackluster run at the North American box office.[56]After the film surpassed a gross of $200 million worldwide the possibility of a sequel became more likely.[57]On December 9, 2013, it was announced that Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions were moving forward with the development of a sequel, reportedly based on the 2013 Jack Reacher novelNever Go Back.[58]
Principal photographyon the sequel,Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,began on October 20, 2015, inNew Orleans.The sequel was directed byEdward Zwick,produced by Tom Cruise,Don Granger,andChristopher McQuarrieand was written by Zwick,Richard Wenk,andMarshall Herskovitz.It starsTom Cruise,Cobie Smulders,Patrick Heusinger,Aldis Hodge,Danika Yarosh,andHolt McCallany.The plot follows Reacher going on-the-run with an army major who has been framed for espionage, and it reveals a dark conspiracy.Jack Reacher: Never Go Backwas released on October 21, 2016, inIMAXand conventional formats.[59]It grossed $161 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics.
