Not a bad action movie, but definitely nothing I will remember for very long. The action scenes were great, but the story was dull, as was the main villain. Still worth watching though, but I am glad I didn't pay to see it in theaters.

This film is enjoyable as superb movie-making. If you watch it this way the familiar plot elements are no problem.

Another plus is no torture of women. I'm grateful for any film without abuse of women.

Zwick is onr of my favorite directors, and he adds a lot of dimension to familiar scenes which takes a big human heart to do. Also remember Cruise is playing a 6'4" bruiser with no feelings. That's the character.… Expand

Great action flik and a decent cast pull off a good film. This movie can get "over-reviewed" but its a 9 for what it pretends to be and delivers. I hope they make more Reacher movies (as there lots of books in the series)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Enter the 2nd movie of Lee Child's Jack Reacher "Never Go Back". Adaptaded from one of the best of Jack Reacher's. It all starts Jack Reacher arrested for beat the hell up 3 or 4 men outside of a café in small town. Reacher didn't run,but sit there – maybe ordered a cup of coffee or waffle – we don't know.But he just sit there till a sheriff arrived and order his deputy to arrest Reacher. But Reacher is so calm and say that a public phone on the wall will ring in 90 seconds and the sheriff will going to jail instead. The sheriff underestimated him, made fun of him that Reacher is one hell of a prophecy and just a second before his deputy walk Reacher outside, the phone rang. And it happened, 3 MP cars arrived and arrest the sheriff (along with his friends that Reacher already beat the hell up) for a serious crime committed in the land property of US Army.

So,Reacher call Major Turner, a middle rank MP Officer who he informed about that sheriff, and Reacher is about to take a visit and if lucky he might get a date, but then when he arrived it was somebody else sit on the desk, Colonel Morgan that informed him that Major Turner has been arrested for espionage. Reacher didn't buy it, his got telling him that something might went wrong. Then Reacher find a way to meet Turner's appointed lawyer Col.Moorcroft, instead of minimum information, Moorcroft gave him another information that after he left the service as an MP, a suit has been addressed to US Army to pay child subvention by Candance Dayton a mother to Samantha, Candace claimed that Samantha is Reacher's daughter – which Reacher denied, but still he stole Samantha's photo, and before he left he satirize Moorcroft's. Reacher begin to find for Samantha, they both met but Reacher didn't tell her why is he following her.

Finally Moorcroft follow his conscience to inform Reacher that something awkward in Turner's case, but an ex military soldier – the hunter- came by and killed him. Then Reacher blamed for Moorcroft's dead and arrested, and for worse an MP officer Cap. Espin – who hold grudge – that Reacher once hold his rank promotion with "thoughless" act judgment. But it's not Recaher if then he decided to lose himself from Espin, and release Turner from her cell block, just after 2 of unknown personnel entered the cell to kill her. Both manage to runaway, and became a couple of fugitive an at a time both marked for death, and on the run Reacher found out that Samantha also marked, because Samantha allegedly is his daughter, and then three of them must play hid and seek from town to town.

As both Reacher and Turner digged out that a weapon contractor – Parasource- is involved in the killing of Turner's subordinates whom she sent to Afghanistan to investigate. And this time Reacher is running against time to find out what kind of conspiracy happen and to protect Samantha a girl allegedly his daughter.

This is the second movie from Jack Reacher's character - even though Tom Cruise is not exactly as Lee Child's profile- but seems like Tom manage to present his own image as Jack Reacher – kind like Harrison Ford did as Jack Ryan in Tom Clancy's Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger.

What I like in this movie area : the chemistry bond between these 3 characters, Reacher-Tuner and Samantha. How the arguing between Reacher and Turner about who will go out finding some clue while someone has to take care of Samantha – and it's all about male – female equality, and gave me glimpse about Turner's character background that she was so sick about the way all men treat women in all field.

Edward Zwick work the chemistry between Reacher and Turner very good, that's sometime Turner shows the shrouded ego to prove that she also can solve their big problem as well as Reacher. And in just a little while then she couldn't hide her symphaty,her admiration, her desire on Reacher – that behind he hard attitude she admit that she really can count on Reacher alone.

I also like the chemistry between Reacher and Samantha, how Reacher it's kind of stranded between his confidence that Sam is not his daughter and at the same time for the first time he feels his fatherhood inside, that he will do anything to protect her.

So this is a little bit awkward, this is an action thriller movie – I'm not saying that this movie is not thrill enough – but it's nothing so great about for the action pack, and the hand to hand combat – which is good enough, but I feel like even though you don't have to make it like a mindless moves, I think they should learn some of martial arts like jujitsu,pencak silat, kick boxing and karate, cause I don't really see that in both sequel.
But still, all credits given to Tom Cruise, Cobie Smulders and Danika Yarosh that give soul in this movie.

My conclusion is Jack Reacher : Never Go Back is an up to level from the first Jack Reacher (a.k.a One Shot in novel version), closer as the promising action thriller movie succeeded delivered emotional bon… Expand

If you liked Jack Reacher then you will like Jack Reacher 2. There is no new ground breaking movie effects or storyline....it just simply an entertaining action movie.

If you like the first movie you will definitely like this one. It is a good balanced action thriller. The bad gay was scary, there were funny moments and to much cheese parts. A perfect Sunday movie!

Jack Reacher around my thoughts.

Tom Cruise was my dream man when I was in high school and I saw him playing volleyball in his jeans and no shirt in "Top Gun." I asked my dad for the VHS for christmas and he looked at me a long time andJack Reacher around my thoughts.

Tom Cruise was my dream man when I was in high school and I saw him playing volleyball in his jeans and no shirt in "Top Gun." I asked my dad for the VHS for christmas and he looked at me a long time and said "Ain't you already seen it?"

I said I did and he took a sip of his Schlitz can and asked cruelly, "Then why the he!!! would you pay money to see it again?"

He didn't understand. Never did. Still he's gone now and while I would struggle to say I miss him, I would say I wish we were closer when he was alive. He never came to terms with my lifestyle and I am sure he would be embarrassed that I make my living as a cage dancer in the Keys.

I know Tom is going to come to terms with who he is someday and when he does he will find himself a most welcome guest at Tommy's in Key West.… Expand

A big improvement from the first one. The acting was amazing, and the younger girl was a great new character. The action moments were well thought out and entertaining. You should watch it.

...but he did go back and got into a trouble!

The original source is a long book series, so they did not do it in order. Like the first film, which was based on the ninth book, this one was on the eighteenth. It was a stylishly made film....but he did go back and got into a trouble!

The original source is a long book series, so they did not do it in order. Like the first film, which was based on the ninth book, this one was on the eighteenth. It was a stylishly made film. The actors were good, and their stunts were excellent. But not the storyline. This is a very familiar theme. You know, someone framed you and you go on to dig the truth while everyone trying to hunt you down. There are lots of close encounter, which give great thrilling entertainment. So, other than the story, everything looked fine.

Jack goes to meet one of his ex colleagues at his old headquarters. But soon he discovers she's behind the bars and now he's too for the crime they did not do. So escaping from the prison and looking for clues, who framed them and why, all one by one disclosed with some excellent running-chasing action sequences. The film almost as good as any timepass action film. But like it was the new wine in an old bottle. So it won't work for everyone, especially those with greater expectations.

The 55 year old Tom Cruise on the edge to become a veteran actor, but still he got that action hero macho in him. Probably another 3-4 films, including the upcoming 'Mission: Impossible' sequel. So this franchise could replace his cast with younger one in the future. Because another 20 books to go. Though, I'm thinking about the television series. Cobie too was awesome. The film justifies to its original, but not more than an above average. So good for once watching it.
