'Jack Reacher' comes up short, movie critics say

When it comes to kicking butt, Tom Cruise is an old hand. He's done it as an ace pilot in "Top Gun," a soldier-turned-samurai in "The Last Samurai," a globe-trotting super-spy in the "Mission: Impossible" movies, a futuristic cop in "Minority Report" and a different globe-trotting super-spy in "Knight and Day."
