Leave your thoughts about Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.
| National PostChris KnightWhere the first Reacher was a plodding mess (even Werner Herzog as the villain couldn't save it), this new one feels fresher and moves faster. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereYet another lone samurai movie. Cruise doing strong and silent is a bit dull. Plot not exactly surprising. |
| AARP Movies for GrownupsBill NewcottFormulaic? Sure, but Cruise is always fun to watch, and there are nice little nods to the star's 50+ status: When he winces on rising from the occasional bed or chair, it's the clear aftermath of one too many dark-alley dustups. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamIt hums along, but it's standard issue action stuff, and the first "Jack Reacher" taught us to expect more than that. |
| Consequence of SoundClint WorthingtonIt’s two solid hours of disposable, forgettable action-thriller filmmaking with a competent Cruise performance in the middle. |
| The Film StageDan SchindelThis movie is plain-flavored ice cream (not vanilla, mind you - plain). |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezJack Reacher: Never Go Back isn’t a throwaway, and mainstream action/thriller fans should come out more than satisfied at the visceral nature of the film. But anyone hoping for more than a superficial on-the-run chase movie will probably wish Reacher had stayed home, instead of going back. |
| Pay Or WaitSharronda WilliamsCobie Smulders definitely holds her own in this film, and is a delight to watch on screen. With the success of her role in the Avengers films, I am glad to see she is broadening her action portfolio. |
| San Diego EntertainerNathalia AryaniA solid, whodunit crime mystery thriller. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickan old-school, red-blooded action vehicle with a little bit of sentimentality mixed in for good measure |
