Paramount's December action film Jack Reacher just debuted its latest trailer. The film is based off of the crime drama novels by British auther Lee Child, starting with "Killing Floor." Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film is lead by action alumnus Tom Cruise, co-starring Rosamund Pike (Pride & Prejudice), Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers), and Robert Duvall (The Godfather). Jack Reacher shoots into theaters December 21st.
In an innocent heartland city, five are shot dead by an expert sniper. The police quickly identify and arrest the culprit, and build a slam-dunk case. But the accused man claims he's innocent and says "Get Jack Reacher.". Reacher himself sees the news report and turns up in the city. The defense are immensely relived; but Reacher has come to bury the guy. Shocked at the accused's request, Reacher sets out to confirm for himself the absolute certainty of the man's guilt, but comes up with more than he bargained for.
The second trailer delves a little further into the once vague character of Reacher. The seemingly unstoppable killer may just have a likable side, albeit burred beneath plenty of bullet scarred flesh.
