First Trailer for JACK REACHER Starring Tom Cruise

The first trailer is online for The Way of the Gun-director Christopher McQuarrie’s Jack Reacher, starring Tom Cruise.  Unfortunately, it’s lost in translation unless you happen to speak Russian.  Basically, the guy in the hospital bed is narrating how badass Jack Recaher is; Cruise himself confirms it later on with no translation necessary.

An adaptation of the Lee Child novel, One Shot, Jack Reacher is the title character, an ex-military investigator who uses his imposing physical size (6’5”, 250lbs) and service experience to track down a sniper.  Jack Reacher also stars Rosamund Pike, Robert Duvall, Richard Jenkins and David Oyelowo, along with Werner Herzog as the villain.  The film is scheduled to open on December 21st, 2012.  Hit the jump to see the trailer.

Read up on the synopsis of Lee Child’s novel One Shot and scope out the trailer below:

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me.

And sure enough, ex—military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter–a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right–and soon the slam-dunk case explodes.

Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning–and then beat him shot for shot. [Amazon]
