Jack Reacher Movie Description
A sniper with no real, identifiable target shoots and kills five random civilians. The attack seems like a completely random act of violence. However, nothing makes sense, especially the suspect that all the evidence points too. Police have brought in an ex-military sniper named James Barr (Joseph Sikora). However, while interrogating the man all he says is one name, Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise). Reacher is a top of the line ex-army investigator who ran in the same squad as Barr. Initially, Reacher believes Barr is guilty, however, the more he looks into the case, the more convinced he becomes that someone has set Barr up.
