Libertarian themes in Jack Reacher (2012)

Lone anarchist seeks justice and truth and doesn’t use the law to find them. Corrupt government officials and cops. Public infrastructure scam artists with a long trail of blood on their hands. Private gun owners who do what needs to be done. It’s a bit slow in the first half but otherwise there so much right about Jack Reacher — another in a long line of films that captures the politico-cultural moment perfectly.
