Jack Reacher (2012) Movie Spoiler

I'm the one who watch a movie just because of the actors and actress. Well, I'm not that into action movie, but Tom Cruise never fail to change me. I'm in love with his action and movies and Jack Reacher is the best action movie in late 2012.

Opening act

Barr asks for Jack Reacher

This film gives a good impression of entire plot since it opens with shooting action by some man who pay for parking and shoots 5 'random people'. Then the scene change to cops who investigate that incident and Emerson (David Oyelowo) a chief detective finds the fingerprint he found at coins in parking-payment-box is a finger of person named James Barr, a prisoner. Then Emerson meets James Barr and interrogate him about the killing accident, asks him to just sign the letter to confess. But, instead of signing the letter Barr writes a name in that paper. Get JACK REACHER, he writes. Then Emerson tells Alex Rodin (Richard Jenkins) the D.A about who is Jack Reacher. He is so mysterious and hard to find. He was the army but when came back to U.S he gone nowhere. No email, no address, no phone, no credit cards. Nothing. Alex asks how will they find Jack Reacher. "Obviously you don't find Jack Reacher, unless he wants to be found," Emerson answers but a minute later a woman comes in and tells that Jack Reacher is there. He wants to meet James Barr and Emerson and Alex takes him to Barr's room. Now, James Barr lays in coma because he gets physical shots from his prison mates. Alex wants to know if Jack is an eyewitness but he answers diplomatically that that's not why Barr writes his name. He just walks out of the room.

James Barr was in military

Then he bumps into Helen Rodin (Rosamund Pike) Alex's daughter who tells that she is Barr's attorney. And by her statement not to talk to her client Alex and Emerson just slip out let Helen talks to Jack Reacher.
Helen buys Jack a coffee in a cafe where Jack tells him about who James Barr is. He is a former army who trained for 2 years but never got his chance to shoot the real human being. Until he was set free but his ambition to kill people never be pleased. So James killed civilians to finish his thirsty of shooting. Jack found out and made him confess about his action. But he never went to prison because fortunately who he shot were civilians who just raped 28 woman so he was free and Jack slowly shut the case down with one promise: if James Barr makes a mess again, Jack would come and keep it up. So that's why Jack came to meet James Barr at the room, because he wants to keep him up.
Helen asks Jack if he wants to be her lead investigator, at the first he refuses but then he agrees in one condition that Helen must investigate Barr victims. Helen agrees and the next day she meets one of the victim family. She stops by her father that says defending Barr is the worst mistake she ever takes. But Helen just not listens to him.

bar fight

Jack also investigates about the case by visiting many places that shooter had been there and some of spy notices him. When Jack went into a cafe in the night he joins in a fight versus 5 guys just because of a girl named Sandy. Then he arrested by the cops but fortunately he sets free and Helen tells him all the stories she got from victims. There are five and one of them is the owner of construction business.

Fight in Jeb's place

In another place the spy that followed Jacks is admits that he sent 5 guys to destroy Jack but failed. It makes his boss angry and kills him because he made any scene.
The next day, Jack goes to auto part store where Sandy works. There she meets Sandy and she tells about who asked her to provoke Jack that night, he is Jeb. Sandy gives Jack Jeb's address and he borrows her car to Jeb's house but he is followed by a silver car.There he fights with Jebs's friend and he wins.

Jack goes to Helen office and tells her his thinking and about the silver car. He thinks that James Barr is innocent and there's someone that wants to frame him just to shot one person. But Helen debates that there are 5 persons killed. Jack answers that the killer just wanted one person but the 4 persons just to hide the exact target. Helen gets a phone tell who is the owner of the silver car, the car is owned by Lebendauer Enterprises. She gets shocked and scratch her proof and finds a paper that tells about Lebendauer Enterprises vs Oline Archer. Oline is one of the 5 persons killed. Now, they now who is the exact target.

Jack vs silver car

Jack gets back to his motel and finds cops outside searching him because of Sandy's dead body was found near the motel. Here begins the run-and-catch scene between Jack and the cops with their own cars meanwhile Jack is trying to catch the silver car. Fortunately he is safe by hiding himself in the center of people that waiting for the bus.

Cash and Jack

Helen's house is visited by Emerson and her father asking where Jack Reacher is. But Helen don't know where he is. Emerson says that Jack is dangerous because he killed Sandy. Helen's phone rings and she hang up. It's Jack tells that he is okay and stealing Helen's car in order to avoid the cops. He tells Helen that one of Emerson or Alex Rodin is involved in this case. Helen shut the phone.

Emerson strokes Helen

The next day Jack goes to shooting trainee camp where James Barr used to practice shooting. There he meets Cash who was Barr friend and Jack asks if Barr ever came to that place or not. Cash wants to answer in one condition, Jack could reach the center point of shooting target. He is qualified and Cash shows the CCTV records showing Barr came with one guy who appears in the very first scene of the the movie. Jack then calls Helen about the proof he got of a real shooter via phone but they just talks for few minute because Helen is talking with his father about his involvement in this case. But his father denies it so Helen just leaves. In the lift he met Emerson and suddenly he strokes her by electrical shots and brings her away. Now, we know who is involved in this case. It's Emerson, not Alex Rodin.
In the bar, Jack receives a call by guy who kidnaps Helen and tells Jacks to show up or Helen must die. Jack shows up in their area with Cash who brings a gun-for him- and a knife-for Jack.

Helen talks to Zec

The shooting scene

In some room, a guy who known as Zec-means the prisoner (Werner Herzog) shows up to Helen and they talk and we can assume that Zec is crazy because he has spent his life in prison. Zec is the owner of Lebendouer company and he wanted Oline Archer give up her company. Outside we can see shooting  battle scene between Jack and Cash versus Zec's boys. Jack wins, then he meets the real shooter and they fight with empty-hands. Jack, as usual, wins the game and the guy is dead.

Cash shooting

When Jack meet the real shooter

They fight

He enters the room and finds Helen is covering Emerson and his gun is directed to her. Fast as a flash he shoots Emerson. Helen's safe. Jack talks to Zec and snap him to admit his crime but Zec threaten him about who looks more guilty, because now Jack is the cops suspect and he has been killed Emerson. Jack just shoots Zec head till dead.
The two run outside and meet Cash with his car. Jack says goodbye to Helen and drives away with Cash.

After James Barr wakes up, Helen meets him as his attorney but Barr can't remember anything about the accident. Helen mentions Jack Reacher name and Barr looks afraid he cries. Then he admit whatever he'd done he is guilty even he doesn't remember anything but he remembers his promise to Jack Reacher. As the lawyer Helen tells that she will protect Barr but he tells her about who the real Jack Reacher is. "There's this guy. He doesn't care about the law. He doesn't care about proof. He only cares about what's right."

Ater all the film is worth watching. Even if I a little bit upset about the dull plot, not like the usual Tom Cruise movies.
