An Open Letter to actor Tom Cruise

Dear Tom,

How r u doing?

Well,  watched the movie Jack Reacher just coz of you were there in the movie. In 90s you have given us many entertaining movies, while we were in college, and hence you stand to be one of the fav Hollywood hero of ours till date.

But look what you have done by selecting wrong projects since a long time to your fan following. War of the Worlds, Collateral, Knight and Day etc. were all okay kinda films. Still went to watch Jack Reacher coz you were there, our poster boy.

The movie, based on Lee Child‘s novel,  is about a soldier who leaves the army and gets some unknown identity and is missing since 2 years. One of his enemy is caught for killing half a dozen innocent people, who wants to meet Jack Reacher, and so you are back in the city. Is the person innocent or why has he killed those people?

Well, the problem with the film is that most of the suspense gets revealed quite earlier, and rest is predictable. The film doesn’t have much moments to remember it. The film runs quite well till the first half (yes in Hollywood movies too, our cinema owners keep interval to gain popcorn profit), but 2^nd half becomes quite ordinary and one leaves the film with unhappy mood.

You have again performed quite well, as you are used to do. Rosamund Pike looks beautiful and does a quite decent job portraying Helen. Alexia Fast as Sandy looks quite hot, has nothing much to do in the film though.

Hoping to get better films from you now onwards (hell, I show Van Helsing in the list… yuck..!!!)

2.5 cheers from 5 from me.
