Continuity mistake: When Reacher arrives at the shooting range it's hot and sunny. When he walks down the driving range it's overcast and looks like it's been raining with a slight mist coming in. When he looks back down the range, cut to the owner and shooting scene and it's hot and sunny again.

This isn't my type of film as it's lacking in characterisation - I'm quite happy to watch action movies but I do demand character development, whereas this is just mechanical action sequences.
The worst bit is the fight at the end where Tom Cruise beats the villain via a punch up in the rain. It was such a cliche that I found it frankly embarrassing to watch.
Jack Reacher: You think I'm a hero? I am not a hero. And if you're smart, that scares you. Because I have nothing to lose.
Trivia: A point in the score from this, by Joe Kraemer, inspired The Batman's signature motif by Michael Giacchino. After the phone call between Jack and Helen when he warns her potentially not to trust her father, he's driving across a bridge and the music is almost identical to the "bom...bombom...bom" theme from The Batman.
