Jack Reacher

The law has limits. He does not.

Tom Cruise is hoping to kickstart a new franchise with this film, which is perhaps a little hopeful if he wants to get through all 17 books before hitting the old-age home. He plays an ex Military Policeman, who is now a drifter. After a shooting in which 6 bullets where used to kill 5 people, and the police arrested an ex army sniper, Reacher becomes involved when he suspects that they police have the wrong man. He sets about solving the case, which has far-reaching repercussions.
