Factual error: When Reacher sees Sandy's body being loaded into the coroner's van, he's able to see her face. In reality, a dead body is zipped into a leak proof body bag for transport. And that body is put in the bag and zipped up WHERE THEY DIED, not in the van or somewhere else. Specifically, this was a murder scene and any evidence and DNA would have been secured on the body by the body bag.

Plot hole: When one of the men from the bar fight confronts Reacher at Jeb's house, the man says he hasn't seen Jeb since they got out of jail. Reacher was the only person from the fight to be arrested, all the others ran away. (01:00:30)

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.

More quotes from Jack Reacher

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.

Question: How did Reacher know it was James Barr who killed those men in Baghdad? Unless there was a forensic sweep on the bodies or for shell casings, how was he caught? There could have been multiple army snipers in the general area who could have committed the act.
