Jack Reacher , the eagerly-awaited action thriller starring Tom Cruise as Lee Child’s indomitable tough guy, has unveiled a new poster, and you can get an exclusive first look right here.
Looking every inch the badass, this poster should go some way to dispelling certain fans’ fears that Cruise wouldn’t be right for the role. C'mon, he looks awesome! It's all in the eyes. And the fist.
The film’s adapted from Child’s novel, One Shot , and follows the taciturn, no-nonsense ex-military policeman as he sets about unravelling the mystery of a trained sniper who has taken out five victims, seemingly at random.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Jack Reacher could be a throwback to the kind of muscular thriller that’s been seen all-too-rarely since its ‘80s heyday, especially if the 'Tom Cruise is...' tagline is anything to go by. And with 17 novels in the Child's series to date, we could be in for a franchise.
