Entertainment Weekly has done it again with the first looks and this time it’s Tom Cruise as the title character in Jack Reacher. The film, which hits theaters December 21st, is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and also stars Rosamund Pike, David Oyelowo, Richard Jenkins, Alexia Fast, Robert Duvall, Jai Courtney and Werner Herzog.
The film which is based on Lee Child’s best-selling novel One Shot, follows an ex–military policeman turned vigilante drifter, who finds himself drawn into the case of a sniper who randomly targets civilians.
Along with the picture, EW had the following quote from McQuarrie regarding the film:
Other than those ties to a haunted past, investigating soldiers who went lethally astray, Reacher has very little in the present.
“He is free from any sort of anxiety. He is truly not encumbered by all the bulls–t that makes up our daily lives,” McQuarrie tells EW. “He literally and figuratively has no baggage.”
“He is an extremely pragmatic, matter-of-fact person,” McQuarrie says. “He’s very solitary, but he can’t walk away from a situation that needs to be made right. His own sense of right and wrong tie into that situation and he can’t leave until it’s been resolved. That’s his Achilles heel.”
