"You won't be able to protect me." Okay, this trailer sucks, it's crappy quality, the colors are off, it's dubbed in Russian (but has English subtitles) and sounds bad. But, it's our first look at the new Tom Cruise movie Jack Reacher, and I almost think this is how they want us to see this - almost like a Russian bootleg. As SlashFilm points out, this has a sort of Drive feeling, with Cruise playing a badass named Jack Reacher from the novel One Shot, written by Lee Child. Rosamund Pike also stars, with David Oyelowo & Richard Jenkins. It kind of looks like it'll be cool, but I'm still not sure what to make of it, I need to see a real US trailer first.

The Russian Jack Reacher trailer has been removed, but we've posted the official US trailer. Click here:

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 (Tom Cruise) knows the killer is 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. Christopher McQuarrie (director The Way of the Gun and writer of The Usual Suspects) writers and directs this film which also stars Werner Herzog, Rosamund Pike and Richard Jenkins. Paramount Pictures is sending Jack Reacher to theaters on December 21st this year.
