sydneysjca Look I've seen lots of movies. At the end of the day, I'm pretty easily entertained. But this movie is a piece of garbage. I'm not sure of Jack Reacher's origins, but Tom Cruise's rendition comes off as a low rent version of Ian Hunt (mission impossible series). The startling lack of chemistry between him and that Robin girl is hokey enough but that wretched character of daughter-not daughter brat is enough to make one want to lose their lunch. Filled with cheesy lines and copied and pasted villains, this is one of the few movies I am going out of my way to say is not worth your time.

Ed-Shullivan I suggest Tom Snooze read his own movie title and "Never Go Back". How can anyone take a 140 pound five foot seven inch middle aged actor serious as a one man wrecking crew?Tom, I suggest you leave the action genre to guys like Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, Dave Bautista, and even legitimate senior citizens like Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren who are more believable.Hey Tom, I got an idea for your comeback! Why don't you try and make a sequel to your now 35 year old 1983 film Risky Business and call the sequel "Old Time Rock and Roll". I am quite sure all your (now) loyal grandmother fans who watched you 35 years ago prance around in your underwear singing karaoke Bob Seger's Old Time Rock and Roll would get even a bigger laugh seeing you do that again than watching you pretend to be a middle aged badass action hero.I give this sequel a lowly 3 out of 10 rating and please Tom Snooooooze, "Never Go Back" to the action genre again.

jezfernandez First off the bat, I've never read a Jack Reacher novel and couldn't care less whether or not Tom Cruise looks like the bloke in the book. I enjoyed the first movie and thought it had an effective raw quality. Never Go Back, however, is a travesty. I won't divulge any spoilers, but I will highlight two main deficiencies.Firstly, plausibility is stretched to breaking point in this movie. Astonishingly incompetent law enforcement officers, plot inconsistencies (e.g. Reacher steals an ID card to get a flight, but his two co-fugitives don't seem to need one) and infuriating character decisions. Here's a tip - if you're being pursued by ruthless killers and you find a good place to hide, STAY THERE AND CALL THE POLICE FROM YOUR PHONE! Do not continually creep out of your safe spot to be pursued by said killers.The second major problem is the decision to bring in Samantha (Danika Yarosh), who may or may not be Reacher's daughter. Coupled with Cobie Smulders, are they trying to infer that Reacher is longing for the quiet family life? Possibly, but that dynamic is never fully explored, Ed Zwick instead recycling the same punch-ups, car-jackings and vintage Cruise sprints for most of the two-hour running time.Overall, Jack Reacher 2 is hampered by ludicrous set-pieces and character decisions that will have you howling, "That would NEVER happen" at the screen. It's impossible to engage with the story when it's crammed full of every conceivable Hollywood trope.Cruise should have heeded the strapline and never gone back for this sequel. Avoid.

Michael O'Keefe Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) has been on the run four years, but still enforcing his brand of justice where and when he sees it fits. Reacher off and on keeps in touch with headquarters and Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), who now heads his old investigative unit. When he discovers she has been arrested for espionage, Reacher will break her out of prison in order to prove her innocence. At the same time, he works relentlessly to bust wide open a major government conspiracy that should clear himself of a murder for which he was framed. Also in the cast: Aldis Hodge, Danika Yarosh, Holt McCallany, Robert Knepper, Madalyn Horcher and Patrick Heusinger.
