Jack Reacher, ex maggiore dell'esercito americano e ora ramingo perennemente assetato di giustizia, fa ritorno in Virginia per mantenere la promessa di un invito a cena con il maggiore Susan Turner. Scopre però che questa è stata messa agli arresti con accuse molto gravi. Tutto è successo molto rapidamente e a Jack i conti non tornano: man mano che approfondisce le indagini su quanto avvenuto, la faccenda si fa più torbida. Anche perché dai documenti che scopre emerge una presunta figlia di cui era all'oscuro.  Edward Zwick eredita un franchise ancora cinematograficamente giovane, con l'obiettivo duplice di tenere fede ai milioni di lettori della serie di romanzi di origine e di non deludere il sempre più esigente pubblico degli action movie. Il corpo cinematografico per eccellenza dell'action americano, Tom Cruise, comincia ad avvertire il peso degli anni, ma non rinuncia a esibire il proprio corpo e a rimanere al centro dell'azione. Mascherare la vecchiaia diviene l'imperativo di Zwick e del coordinatore degli stunt Wade Eastwood, già con Cruise in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. Il dinamismo di Cruise muta in fisicità, sostituendo alle acrobazie di Ethan Hunt dei corpo a corpo selvaggi, brutali, in cui ogni pugno sembra scagliato dal Bane di Il cavaliere oscuro - Il ritorno (anche se il modello dichiarato è Il braccio violento della legge). Merito di Cruise, che accentua il divario tra lo Hunt di Mission Impossible e Jack Reacher (una montagna umana per statura e peso nella sua incarnazione letteraria), caratterizzando maggiormente il secondo, e del suo antagonista Patrick Heusinger, insospettabile belva da guerra che rende concreta e palpabile la minaccia ai danni della presunta figlia Samantha. Il villain come nemesi dell'eroe, uguale e contraria, sa di espediente ormai stravisto (Skyfall, Mission: Impossible -2, per limitarsi a un paio di citazioni), ma l'atmosfera da B-movie senza particolari ambizioni agevola l'indulgenza. La prevedibile sottotrama, che insiste sulla natura di lupo solitario di Reacher e quindi sul suo desiderio represso di mettere la testa a posto e sentirsi parte di una famiglia, viene sfruttata il giusto da uno script semplice ma efficace. Sia nelle schermaglie tra Reacher e il maggiore Cobie che tra questi ultimi e Samantha emerge la psicologia di personaggi stereotipati, ma in maniera talmente consapevole (e autoironica) da renderli quasi personaggi di un fumetto di Garth Ennis, comprensibili e apprezzabili nella loro grossolana istintualità. Se è ovvio come andranno le cose tra buoni e cattivi (non siamo a Hong Kong ma a Hollywood, e il protagonista è Tom Cruise), il vero whodunit, cha mantiene la suspense fino all'epilogo, è il mistero sulla presunta paternità di Reacher, insospettabilmente desideroso di "appendere al chiodo" l'inseparabile spazzolino da denti, anche se incapace di ammetterlo a se stesso. Finale a New Orleans, con l'ombra di James Bond e Vivi e lascia morire dietro l'angolo, e sensazione di divertimento grezzo ma spensierato. Tutto sommato, obiettivo minimo raggiunto.

When The Hunter and his men are chasing Jack and Sam through the Halloween parade, there is a moment where one of the Hunter's goons speaks dialogue that is totally different from what he is mouthing. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the german localisation, the military police vehicle L67 is named L76. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the restaurant when Jack first confronts Colonel Moorcroft, the colonel is wearing MP insignia. He should be wearing Judge Advocate General insignia. <br>------------------------<br><br>No prison, federal or otherwise, allows anyone to have their firearms inside except guards during a riot. The MP who came to assist in the transfer of the major had his sidearm in its holster in her cell. <br>------------------------<br><br>When CPT Espin was escorting Reacher through the prison, the CPT had his jacket unzipped. When wearing a jacket with a zipper or buttons, the jacket will be zipped or buttoned all the way up with the exception of the collar button. Any CPT would live this without a thought. <br>------------------------<br><br>Captain Espin had Jack handcuffed on the way to the prison Visitation Room but inexplicably fails to cuff Jack on the way back to his cell, enabling Jack's escape. <br>------------------------<br><br>Towards the end of the film when Samantha and Jack meet at the cafè  to see if Jack really is her father, Samantha tells Jack the waitress who has refilled his coffee "three" times is her mother. But Samantha came late to the cafè , and only saw the waitress/her mother refill his coffee once, through the cafè  door. This phrase she used could have just been an expression, not meant to be taken literally. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Reacher and Turner jump into the back of the cab and ask if there's an Internet cafè  nearby the cabdriver says "at Pennsylvania and North Street". There is no North Street in Washington DC something that a cabdriver there would obviously know. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Turner is choking out the one pursuer in the alleyway with the hose, you see her wrap it one time around his neck. In the next shot, the hose is not wrapped around once, it is simply going in front of it. <br>------------------------<br><br>The airliner Jack and Susan leave DC in is VERY different than the one shown in-flight. The one shown taking off has podded engines under the wing. In-flight, the engines are mounted to the fuselage near the tail. <br>------------------------<br><br>While on-board the aircraft, Samantha's hair on the right hand side switches from behind her ear to in front of her ear numerous times during the conversation with Reacher and Turner. <br>------------------------<br><br>At the command center, Espin's eye is swollen after his encounter with Jack Reacher. One scene later his eye is perfectly fine. <br>------------------------<br><br>The first time Reacher and Espin meet, Espin's left hand changes from the outer to the inner part of the top of the car door when they switch between camera angles. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Jack and Turner get into a cab near the Capitol Mall, there is no number on the trunk, but in a shot of the cab traveling along a street a few seconds later, there is a number on the trunk. <br>------------------------<br><br>At the beginning of the film, the sheriff radios for an ambulance to treat the injured men in front of what he calls "Lee's Diner" but in a later long shot, the sign in front of the diner says Midway Coffee Shop. <br>------------------------<br><br>When the protagonists run on the airport tarmac, there is a shot where they are filmed from inside the building though glass, following them. The blacked out camera dolly is reflected in the glass. <br>------------------------<br><br>At an Hour and 48 minutes, when Sam goes into the coffee shop and the door closes behind her, the camera crew is clearly visible in the reflection of the glass. <br>------------------------<br><br>When speaking with Sgt Leach, Reacher refers to her "DI" (Drill Instructor). The US Army uses the title Drill Sergeant, not Drill Instructor. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the beginning of the movie Reacher is in Washington DC and flowers are in full bloom and the trees are all dark green with leaves. At the girls school the students are playing soccer in t-shirts and shorts. On the plane, a phone screen shows a call made "a week ago" on June 28. But just a day later they pass kids on the streets dressed in costumes for for Halloween. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the beginning of the movie, a local Sheriff and his Deputy are arrested for violating human trafficking laws on a "US Government base." They are subsequently arrested by a number of Military Police who come driving up to the diner in town. Military Police have no jurisdiction off-base in a case like this. The arrests would be made only after a Federal arrest warrant was issued and would normally be served by a US Marshall. However, any State or local law enforcement officer can conduct the arrest subsequent to the issue of a warrant. The Sheriff and his Deputy are civilians, so the MPs would have no authority off base regarding these officers. <br>------------------------<br><br>After deplaning and while standing in the jet-way, Reacher simply pushes open the door that leads down to the access ramp so that all three of them can escape from their pursuers. This is a restricted access door, leading to the SIDA (Security Identification Display Area) of an airport. It is a limited access area and requires either an electronic access badge, or at a minimum, a code to allow access through the door. The door handle did have a keypad lock so should have been locked. <br>------------------------<br><br>While navigating around Washington, DC, a number of DC police vehicles are seen and none have the steady burning blue lights that are used as a crime deterrent mechanism in DC. <br>------------------------<br><br>The aircraft shown in flight is a DC-9-10. No carrier in the United States Opoperates this type of aircraft any longer. <br>------------------------<br><br>In the Prison escape scene, Jack and the Major escape when central control opens the doors to allow the LT in. In reality, those secure doors are like an airlock, she would have entered, the door behind would completely close and lock before they could even activate the next door ( computer controlled). At no point would both doors be open simultaneously, not even for a second. This is to avoid exactly what happened in the movie. <br>------------------------<br><br>A scene set in Afghanistan shows a Search and Rescue (SAR) team arriving in a Vietnam-era UH-1 Huey helicopter. This type had long since been replaced by the UH-60 Blackhawk in front line deployable units of the U.S. Army and Air Force. The U.S Marines still have the Huey in service but not the model depicted in this film. <br>------------------------<br><br>Susan says her agents in Afghanistan were shot in the back of the head, but in the flashbacks the male is shot in the back and when the female turns around she is shot in the chest. The second flashback is longer and the gunman finishes by shooting each soldier three more times each when they are on the ground, but this is off camera. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Jack breaks Turner out of jail she is wearing only a t-shirt, in the next car shot escaping she is wearing a blouse/military shirt and between shots she has it on then off and finally when they both exit the car it is off again. <br>------------------------<br><br>The character routinely refer to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, as "Bag-ram." The proper pronunciation is "Bah-grum." <br>------------------------<br><br>Turner initially says that the murdered MPs were shot with an "Army issue" 9mm. In the scene showing the shooting, the shooter uses a Glock pistol. The US Army uses Beretta pistols.<br><br>While the shooter does use a Glock, there is a Glock model that fires the same Army issue 9mm caliber ammunition as the Beretta. <br>------------------------<br><br>As Turner, Reacher and Samantha are deplaning, you can see that almost all of the other passengers have already left the aircraft. However, only a couple of the overhead bins are ajar, and none are fully open. This would not be the configuration of the overheads at this point, they would mostly all be open. <br>------------------------<br><br>An aircraft that size requires at least 3 flight attendants, yet during the entire flight, there are none to be seen anywhere in the cabin, nor are there flight attendant seats visible that would allow for continuous visual observation of the passenger cabin, as is required by Federal regulations. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Major Turner is checking her email at the internet cafe, she is on the Army Knowledge Online (AKO) website. In 2015 AKO discontinued it's email service. All official military email is now done through Microsoft Outlook. <br>------------------------<br><br>A chunk of Turner/Cobie Smulder's jawline is missing during a clumsy green screen shot of her peering off the roof after Reacher tackles The Hunter towards the end of the film. <br>------------------------<br><br>After showing Turner climbing trellises, jumping between roofs and scaling walls with ease during the final chase, it apparently takes four or five minutes to jump down a floor or two to help Jack in his life and death struggle against The Hunter. She should have easily been able to make it down to him in seconds. <br>------------------------<br><br>
