I keep my 7В year old around purely so he can take off the parental controls when I want to watch a slightly saucy movie). ThereвЂ™s a lot of driving and running around, first away from, then towards the killers from a Shadowy Military Unit, with Samantha there seemingly to steal credit cards so they can catch flights and stuff (kids are great for that kind of thing. It turns out that two of TurnerвЂ™s teamВ have been shot dead in Iraq, investigating the theft of decommissioned weapons, the deaths supposedly as a result of TurnerвЂ™s alleged spying. They then collect Samantha, a 15 year old girl who may or may not be ReacherвЂ™s daughter, and the three of them go on the run. Pulled in by the military police and accused of murdering the attorney, Reacher is incarcerated in a military prison but manages to escape and save Turner at the same time. ItвЂ™s not long before her lawyer is dead, the first of many, many deaths. HeвЂ™s taking her out to dinner at last, but when he gets to her office heвЂ™s told she has been arrested for espionage, which is a new take on вЂњIвЂ™m washing my hairвЂќ.

Ex-Major Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) is heading to Virginia to see Current-Major Susan TurnerВ (Cobie Smulders), who heвЂ™s been flirting with over the phone for ages. So, the plot! What I could work out, anyway (itвЂ™s fair to say thatВ I understood for about the first hour what was happening then got totally lost and had to go byВ Cruise and SmuldersвЂ™s facial expressions as to whether aВ surprise was a Good Surprise or as Bad Surprise). But while itвЂ™s a totalВ cheesefest, a lot of it isВ also a blast: whether heвЂ™s sitting in a diner aboutВ to be arrested but of course he isnвЂ™t or thumbing a lift on the highway, like a human version of The Littlest Hobo. And I wasВ only slightlyВ disappointed.Д®dward ZwickвЂ™s film is not going to win a single Oscar (not even for costumes, as he wears a grubby off-white tee the whole time and sheвЂ™s in her military uniform and a mom bra). The first season of 'Reacher' will be seven episodes long.I was looking forward to this film as the subheading to my life as a mum is Never Go Back, usually after my kids have done something considered unspeakable byВ polite society in a delightful local teashop involving a homemade scone and a milkВ jug.
