Jack Reacher - 神隱任務

Jack Reacher (神隱任務) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Tom Cruise. The supporting cast include Rosamund Pike and Jai Courtney. I watched this film via my Amazon Prime membership.

Tom Cruise plays Jack Reacher. Reacher was an expert and very decorated MP during his years in the armed forces. Retired and back in the states, one of the folks he investigated as an MP has done something wrong. The defense lawyer, Rosamund Pike as Helen Rodin, has some daddy issues and takes up the case. Right when Jack Reacher starts his investigation, he's a target and Helen eventually digs too deep too. Will Jack get to the bottom of this and save the day?

Of course! It is a Tom Cruise film. Jack Reacher seems to be a combo of Tom Cruise's MI:4 and Knight And Day characters. Before Tom Cruise had back to back sci-fi stint movies (Oblivion and Edge Of Tomorrow), he took on Jack Reacher. Jack seems to know it all and than doesn't, than does again. Which made for an intriguing film. The addition of Rosamund Pike kept my interest. As a lawyer with daddy issues, she does well in portraying someone on a mission to be herself.

I had this movie in my Amazon watchlist for months. MONTHS! I just didn't want to watch it on my iPad as I do for most stuff. I finally found time to watch it on my real TV and I am sure glad I did. It's a pretty picturesque film shot partly in Pittsburgh.

Wrath Of The Titans - 怒戰天神

Wrath of the Titans (怒戰天神) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Sam Worthington and Rosamund Pike. This movie is an sequel to 2010 remake, Clash Of The Titans.

The movie is about the struggle of the gods and humans. Humans do not believe in the gods anymore and their powers are fading. Ares however had others plans and betrays his father, Zeus, and tries to release the captured and imprisoned Titans. Well, the only one to save the day is Her..., I mean Perseus. Off they go. This time, against the Titans. I mean other stuff. Titans not in the picture until a lot later. Wrath is a good way to put it. Clash it is not.

The film was entertaining because things came and got smashed! The CG was great. But as I remember back to it, I have a hard time telling it apart from Immortals.
