Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Jack Reacher (out Jan 3) follows a former military police officer (Tom Cruise) as he tries to find those behind a criminal cover up. I liked Cruise in this role - he's protagonist that is full of personality and has a great sense of humour. The ending fits together too neatly but this is still an above-average conspiracy thriller. Grade: B+.
