Blu-ray Review: ‘Jack Reacher’ Delivers Goods For Noir Fans
Submitted by BrianTT on May 20, 2013 - 7:03pmCHICAGO – “Jack Reacher” doesn’t work as an action movie. However, if you approach the mannered dialogue and dark storytelling as a noir, which is what I believe the writer and director (if not the marketing team at Paramount) intended, then there’s a lot to like here. It’s a stylized, slick, well-made ride with some crackling dialogue, charismatic performances, and heavy doses of style.
