A new trailer for Christopher McQuarrie’s Jack Reacher has been released. The new trailer shows off more of Tom Cruise as the bad-ass Reacher. Some people may not be buying it but I am actually looking forward to seeing Cruise take on something different than he usually does. The film also stars Robert Duvall, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, and David Oyelowo.

When a gunman takes five lives with six shots, all evidence points to the suspect in custody. On interrogation, the suspect offers up a single note: “Get Jack Reacher!” So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.

Jack Reacher opens December 21st.

Check out the first trailer for the new Tom Cruise flick Jack Reacher, in which Cruise plays a 6’5, 250 pound bad ass. Okay not really, but apparently that’s how the character is written in Lee Child novels. Fans of the novels will probably be up in arms over the diminutive Tom Cruise, whose only 5’7 (hey lil fella) playing the character. Having no knowledge of the character, I could care less about the change. I think the movie looks cool.

A homicide investigator digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. Based on a book in Lee Child’s crime series.

Jack Reacher stars Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, and Robert Duvall. It is written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie. It opens December 21st.
