LAMBScores: Hit the road Jack

JACK REACHER
Let me apologize for the late posting of these LAMBscores. I’ve been unusually busy this week, so it took a while for me to get around to them. We have 4 scores for you today, including a Tom Cruise actioner Jack Reacher and a pair of comedies – The Guilt Trip and This is 40. The movie that left the best impression though, was Michael Haneke’s bleak Palme d’Or winner (and now Oscar nominee) Amour. It easily found its way into our top scores of 2012. Wanna see your reviews featured in the LAMBScores? Then head on over to the forums.

LAMB Bites:
Kirkham A Movie A Day: “Solid action/procedural with a great character. Cruise delivers even if you don’t like him.”
An Online Universe: “It’s fun, inventive, and at times exhilarating and surprisingly gritty.”
Me On The Movie: “A half-hearted mix of potentially-thrilling detective story with such a shallow characterization of the leading characters.”
