Jack Reacher	comment	Jack Reacher is a 2012 American action thriller film. It is an adaptation of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, the 2005 novel One Shot more specifically.A man with a sniper rifle goes to a parking garage overlooking the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, and kills five people across the river in the park, seemingly at random. The police are quick to find evidence and the man, James Barr. When they have him in for questioning, he writes "Get Jack Reacher" on a notepad. Before they can contact Reacher, the man is brutally beaten by fellow inmates and rendered comatose.Reacher (Tom Cruise) arrives and begins to examine the case, discovering the murders are not as cut-and-dry as they seem...It was followed up in 2016 by Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, based on the 2013 Jack Reacher novel, Never Go Back. The 2022 series Reacher is a Continuity Reboot that is not connected to the films.

At the same time Reacher knows Barr wouldn't have been able to shoot five targets from across the river from his military records, he would have chosen a different spot.

Jack Reacher / int_1e8f4221	comment	Fingore: Zec had to bite off most of his fingers during his imprisonment in Siberia. He tests the fortitude of one of his hired men by forcing him to try to do the same. This might seem unfair, as the reason the Zec bit off the fingers of his left hand was that said fingers had become frostbitten; his jailers refused to give him medical care, so he had to gnaw them off or die of gangrene. It was gross, but dead flesh has no nerves, so it wasn't any more painful than chewing off fingernails. However, he chewed off the fingers of his right hand without any such advantage, purely to avoid being worked to death in the sulfur mines. Before killing Charlie, Reacher breaks his fingers. The sound of his bones crunching is played to full effect for the audience to enjoy as Charlie cries out in pain.

He lives out of motels and gets his clothes from the Goodwill. He explains that he does this to be free, pointing out that all the normal trappings of life serve to limit that freedom, and even wonders how many others would do the same if they could.

Jack Reacher / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Jack Reacher / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Repeatedly, to the point of bordering on Deconstruction of action flicks. Improbable Aiming Skills are just that — improbable. All of the amazing complications super-snipers overcome — sun in a bad position, windage, erratically moving targets, extreme range — are things real snipers are actually trained to avoid so as to make easier shots and Barr wasn't skilled enough to have killed five people in such conditions but he was smart and trained enough to know to choose locations to avoid such issues, choosing a parking garage over a nearby freeway which would've not only kept the sun from his eyes and made the targets easier to hit but would've also avoided cameras, not left behind any evidence and had an easy getaway. Reacher thus notices the killings are a Revealing Cover-Up. Real Bar Brawls are usually very low key; most so-called "tough guys" are unskilled at teamwork, unfamiliar with pain or a confident opponent, and a trained fighter will seriously wreck their shit — even five-on-one. Your average Mook is just an average human being, clumsy and unfamiliar with combat - which is demonstrated when two guys with a crowbar and an aluminum baseball bat attack Reacher in a bathroom. It's hard to tell which takes more damage from their efforts — the bathroom or each other. The purpose of a gun is to shoot someone from more than a few feet away; a third guy sticks a gun in Reacher's face, he slaps it aside, grabs it, and traps the guy's hand in the trigger guard to torture information and the keys to his car out of him. Car Chases have a significant obstacle; other cars. So Reacher breaks line-of-sight, abandons the car, and blends into a crowd that is quite willing to harbor him. Not every theory the protagonist comes up with is correct; see Red Herring. Most criminals are only threatening because most people are unused to conflict, which is why most police work is a simple desk job. Lebendauer Enterprises is only as dangerous as it is because it is led and staffed by actual soldiers — which aren't all that common in criminal enterprises. Just because you meet a Cool Old Guy who owns a lot of guns and is sympathetic to your cause doesn't mean he's willing to kill strangers for you or let you shoot strangers with guns he owns. A guy capable of realistically surviving an action movie is not charismatic, he is fucking terrifying. Driving backwards in a car, despite it having a rear parking camera (which gets shot out), is a bad plan of attack. Especially if you run over something that leaves your car immobile, like a rock. To quote Reacher: Actual fights are far less flashy and impressive than in films with all of Reacher's battles consisting mainly of straightforward moves and his opponents realistically reacting in pain or getting winded from exhaustion and even Reacher himself getting knocked over or disoriented. When faced with a villain who has no past, considerable wealth and connections, isn't afraid of prison even if he does go and has a plausible cover story of being a harmless old man while Reacher is wanted for murder and just killed everyone else, Reacher simply takes another option and kills Zec in cold blood, to make sure he won't escape justice.

Jack Reacher / int_777baed3	type	Out-of-Character Alert
Jack Reacher / int_777baed3	comment	Out-of-Character Alert: What makes the Orgy of Evidence so suspicious is that an important part of sniper training isn't just aiming and firing, but choosing where to shoot from; the optimal firing position wouldn't have left any evidence, and someone with Barr's training would know better (and did, back when Reacher caught him the first time) than to leave any.note In the parking garage, the shooter had the sun in his eyes, and his targets were moving left and right and that's on top of it being much further away from the targets and having security cameras. But a nearby highway bridge was an obvious alternate position where the sun would have been behind him, with his targets straight ahead, single file - one where he could have made the shots without leaving his van, meaning no shell casings would have been left for the police to find, he wouldn't have been caught on camera, and he could have just driven away with no-one the wiser. Thus, the parking garage was chosen to match the type of location Barr chose for his actual shooting spree in Afghanistan, and to leave as much manufactured evidence as possible, not for tactical reasons.

Jack Reacher / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: When the movie actually takes a break from the investigation of James Barr to show video of each person who ended up shot going about their business leading up to being shot in the park, you know one of them will actually be important to the plot or they would simply be mentioned in an offhand manner. Mooks have a tendency to meet up in places where road construction is going on, such as next to Jeb's house. The Big Bad's legal business front is a construction company. Charlie is alerted when Helen and Reacher ask the police for a license plate registration check. A certain dirty cop is monitoring their case. Another clue is when Zec is shown the same file on Jack Reacher that Emerson was perusing. During the montage when Reacher reminisces the sniper rampage James Barr did in Afghanistan, we see Barr set up his kill zone so his targets would be on a position where they would be standing in single file and moving towards or away from him, and when Reacher researches the massacre site we get an Imagine Spot of Barr performing it from the bridge. Same set-up. This is then followed by Reacher saying that it could not be Barr; the set up goes against everything he would have been taught in sniper school. The actual shooter is someone who 1) is better than Barr and 2) looking to set Barr up. Emerson seems taken aback by Reacher asking why Barr would pay for parking in the garage when he's about to murder five people. Emerson seems to simply think it's just an odd thing to focus on. Emerson knew to look for the quarter, despite having no reason to do so, because he was in on the frame-up.

Jack Reacher / int_a7382a73	comment	During the montage when Reacher reminisces the sniper rampage James Barr did in Afghanistan, we see Barr set up his kill zone so his targets would be on a position where they would be standing in single file and moving towards or away from him, and when Reacher researches the massacre site we get an Imagine Spot of Barr performing it from the bridge. Same set-up. This is then followed by Reacher saying that it could not be Barr; the set up goes against everything he would have been taught in sniper school. The actual shooter is someone who 1) is better than Barr and 2) looking to set Barr up.

Jack Reacher / int_aaf19fae	comment	Doesn't Like Guns: Averted. Despite the plot of the movie being largely focused on the aftermath of a mass shooting and the author of the Jack Reacher novels Lee Child admittedly being anti-gun (with his views on guns being alluded to in his works), there is surprisingly very little discussion among the characters in the film regarding gun politics in the United States. The sole exception being one scene where Jack Reacher goes to a shooting range in search of information regarding the suspect James Barr, the owner of the range Martin Cash initially didn't want to cooperate with Reacher out of fear that the other gun club members would see the disclosure of information regarding a fellow member as a violation of their constitutional rights. Beyond this scene none of the character's views on gun ownership are alluded to, besides Barr and Cash being heavily implied to be pro-gun.

The look on the Zec's face when the man who would do anything to survive realizes he's just talked himself into a death sentence. In the epilogue, Barr's reaction to the crimes he's accused of (now that he can't remember not doing them) is equal parts regret for supposedly doing them and fear of what Reacher will do to him as a result. Helen realises the grieving father she's interviewing has a cocked Colt automatic on his desk, and seems angry enough to use it on her.

Reacher thus notices the killings are a Revealing Cover-Up.

Jack Reacher / int_d104235d	comment	Fair-Play Whodunnit: A surprising place for it, but adhered to religiously. All the information Jack needs to solve the crime is provided in the first five minutes of the movie, the viewer just has to realize that everything is important: The setup: Five people (one sitting on a park bench, four walking around) murdered by a sniper from across a river, the location verified by shell casings on the scene. A quarter recovered from a nearby parking meter has the murderer's thumbprint on it, and a sixth bullet recovered from the attack matches a precision rifle in his possession. The payoff: It's an Orgy of Evidence, meant to cover for a set of Serial Killings, Specific Target. A sniper skilled enough to make five kills at that range would never choose to fire from across a river, with targets walking left and right and the sun in their eyes, unless there was no other choice; a preferred sniping position is where targets have to walk towards or away from the shooter, such as a nearby bridge where one could fire from inside a vehicle, which would also prevent shell casings from being lost, avoid security cameras and finger prints and guarantee a quick exit. The first target was sitting still, which would let the sniper determine windage and bullet drop, meaning the second target was the intended one. This is further hinted at by the second target being a pretty good distance from all of the others, meaning that the killer had to turn his aim a decent bit up and to the left, then back again; very inconvenient for what is supposed so be a series of random murders. Also, a sniper skilled enough to make five kills at that range and that position wouldn't have missed with the sixth; unless it wasn't a miss, but a deliberate shot into a target which ensured that an intact bullet would be recovered. Finally, the only sniper who would pay for parking would be one who wanted to leave evidence behind; and the only cop who would check the meter would be one who was part of the conspiracy.

Reacher is able to dictate the final battle on his terms because he refuses to consider Helen's life worth more than his own, thus denying Charlie any leverage beyond the knowledge that Reacher will try to rescue her. The Zec is convinced that he'll avoid prison after all his mooks have been killed, reasoning that the former military homeless guy is a much more likely suspect than a nameless old man missing several fingers; and Jack has just killed all of the other witnesses. Reacher agrees... then kills him in cold blood.

While not impossible, these two roads are located on the northwestern and southern parts of Pittsburgh, respectively, and on opposite sides of Downtown, meaning that the chase scene would have had to have crossed at least one bridge just to get to a point where it could go over another bridge.

When Reacher takes cover at the quarry, he either chooses large rocks or huge construction vehicles that are more than thick enough to absorb rifle fire.

Jack Reacher / int_eb8c2530	type	Persecuting Prosecutor
Jack Reacher / int_eb8c2530	comment	Persecuting Prosecutor: Alex Rodin, the Pittsburgh District Attorney, got his fame as an undefeated prosecutor because he bullied many criminals into signing confessions without any further investigation or allowing them to see their attorneys first. Helen Rodin, the DA's own daughter, is pretty sure that many innocent people have ended up in jail or worse as a result and takes the Barr case to fight this. Both Helen and Reacher believe that Rodin is in bed with Lebendauer because of this, but he turns out to be a Red Herring.

Jack Reacher / int_ec0ce986	type	Spotting the Thread
Jack Reacher / int_ec0ce986	comment	Spotting the Thread: The film is basically a series of these. Reacher fully believes that Barr is the shooter and is there only to make sure he goes down... until he sees the quarter with Barr's fingerprint on it with the evidence. Not only does it make no sense for Barr to make sure he's paid the parking meter right before shooting five random people in cold blood, but it also makes no sense for Emerson to investigate the meter unless he knew the quarter would be there beforehand. Next, with a seed of doubt in his mind, Reacher investigates the location of the shooting and deems it a poor vantage point due to the location of the sun and targets moving left-and-right. He finds another location nearby on a freeway that would have been ideal for a shooter with the targets coming towards him, the sun not in his eyes, no cameras and which would have prevented empty shells from being left behind as evidence and allowed him to make an easy getaway. He also discovers that not only was Barr deemed merely a 'decent' sniper while in the Army and wasn't good enough to shoot so accurately from a non-ideal location, but that he was trained well enough not to use said location when there was a better one available. All six shots that the sniper fired came in quick succession... except for a several second pause between shot one and two. Reacher determines that this means the sniper was extra careful with his second shot, meaning the second target was killed for an actual purpose. Serial Killings, Specific Target. Five of the shots the sniper took were perfect, while the fourth shot missed by a lot and ended up in a location where the bullet would be preserved perfectly to be used for evidence. Reacher reasons that the shooter intentionally put one of his rounds in a perfect location to be found by police for the evidence in the case against Barr. Reacher uses a fake name when Sandy approaches him at a bar, and sees she's thrown by it even though she had no reason to be. From this, and the barfight that follows, he believes that someone is trying to run him off the case, which leads to him eventually blowing the entire plan. Jeb hasn't been seen for a while by his friends, who all think he's left town. Reacher checks his house and finds evidence that Jeb quickly packed some things and left...except the shower curtain is gone too, leading him to think that someone (who wasn't very smart) simply raided the house to make it look like Jeb had left. Or perhaps the curtain was torn down in a struggle. Or made an ideal drop cloth for a body.

Jack Reacher / int_f55f6e1d	type	Varying Competency Alibi
Jack Reacher / int_f55f6e1d	comment	Varying Competency Alibi: James Barr, a former Army sniper, is accused of the sniper murders, but Jack doesn't believe it. The shots were from a rather awkward position when a better one was available, and the only miss conveniently preserved the bullet. This suggests that Barr simply isn't a good enough marksman to have pulled off the killings: they had to have been performed by one of the finest shooters in the world, and Barr was merely decent. It turns out that not only was James Barr framed, but the shooter choose the position not to kill random people but a specific person to hide among a random spree.

Jack Reacher / int_f6b30338	comment	Murder Is the Best Solution: A Mook leaping to this conclusion not only costs him his life, but provides the best lead Jack gets. The reason for the initial killing; a woman won't sell her company, so the Zec decides she must be killed. Decided, of all people, by the protagonist, Jack Reacher himself at the end, when Zec points out that the law will never punish him.

Jack Reacher / int_f6b698ac	comment	Complexity Addiction: The Zec and his men, explained away as "we make things messy now (by killing anything that is a threat to our operations and strong-arming anybody we leave alive) so it doesn't get messy later". Turns out that performing the massacre in the opening scene of the film would have made an investigator poke at it more thoroughly once some details are brought to light even before Reacher arrived if not for the fact that the chief investigator of it was on their take.

Much later, as Reacher's released from jail, he correctly recites the rifle's serial number, showing that yes, he did have it all along.
