The first trailer for Jack Reacher didn’t amount to much, but the second one, which was released today by Paramount Pictures, does. A more flavorful taste of the plot is revealed and along with it a healthy dose of tough guy talk and action that backs it up. Tom Cruise plays the cool titular character…
Who said Tom Cruise was a has-been? Truthfully, I probably did, but hot off of “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” he’s back in the actioner Jack Reacher.
