Capsule review
Tom Cruise plays the title character
of this movie, which looks as generic as the character’s
name. Reacher is one of those ex-Army specialists
that you get when you need something fixed. When
an ex-Army sniper ( Joseph Sikora) is arrested for
murder, possibly on false charges, it’s time for some
fixing. Robert Duvall and Werner Herzog are among
the co-stars. Rated PG-13. 130 minutes.
