	Author	Review
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Reacher is limited by a lack of originality and hampered by thematic clichés and generic action sequences (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The self-confident, supercompetent Reacher is a character Mr. Cruise could play in his sleep, which is pretty much what he does"	NEU
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"This film is deader than the corpses that litter the screen (...) Jack Reacher is mostly grim, violent and stupid"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This is Cruise's show. And he nails it. The patented smile is gone, replaced by a glower that makes Jack Reacher a dark and dazzling ride into a new kind of hell (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
Canada	Peter Howell Toronto Star	"No worse and maybe a little better than most of the vigilante movies that clutter the multiplex (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
