If it only Reached for a little more

Overall I liked JACK REACHER but I think rhythmically it can be a bit underwhelming. There're plenty of small twists but no truly big set piece (mostly the fault of my expectations after watching ST2). It also seemed thinned out between being an action, thriller, drama, and procedural movie like when it glossed over the conspiracy reveal, which I thought was supposed important but apparently not for the movie. I felt the same way about McQuarrie's previous film WAY OF THE GUN which I gave a pass despite having issues with it.
