Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
Four years after the events of Jack Reacher, Tom Cruise's butt-kicking character of the same name returns to his former military headquarters - only to find colleague Susan Turner (The Avengers' Cobie Smulders) has been charged with espionage.

Reviews & comments
No, really, you should've gone gone & done another JR...
Jack Reacher -Never Go Back ‘Salt’ with hints of ‘Man on Fire’ ‘Leon the Professional’ ‘The Equaliser’ and ‘The Littlest Hobo’… Similar to the first, but Jack manages to drive a car substantially better now. Good, but I was told again, know where near as good as the book series. (I really gotta read them). If you got nothing to do, then this will fill that...
Not a fan of Cruise
I've never been a fan of Tom Cruise - don't know why - he always seems a bit fake when he acts. However I think that in both the Jack Reacher movies - he's actually done a great job! Action packed and a bit of a thrill, I thought they were equally good! Thanks Flicks for the tickets - first time at the Roxy too! Had a great time :)
3 stars because I'm feeling generous
You might only give it a 2 (like most professional critics) or a 4 if you're an action fan. Or maybe not because teh film does drag on a bit as the action sequences are interspersed with plot development (which at times aint all that interesting. I came to this film because the first one was okay and I was super excited when I saw the trailer for this one....
Cruise missiles
As expected from the very beginning you were aware that trouble was brewing, This was a much better film than the last. Yes, there is a lot of interesting current events happening on the global scene and storylines like this make for interesting topics of discussion. puitting the violence aside, i enjoyed the movie the two females in the leading roles...

pressThe character that was an awkward fit for the actor four years ago seems to be even more so now, if only because Cruise's greatest asset is his charisma, while Reacher is a stoic, stone-cold heavy.
The New York Times
press"Jack Reacher: Never Go Back" is the second movie that Tom Cruise has starred in as this title character. Let's hope it's the last.

pressIf ever there was a movie that could stop a franchise in its tracks, it's this one.
Los Angeles Times
pressThis Reacher outing has its imperfections and its obstacles to overcome, but the strength of the character and the briskness of the action make it acceptable if you are in the mood.
Hollywood Reporter
pressBy-the-numbers plotting, seen-it-all-before action moves, banal locations and a largely anonymous cast alongside the star give this a low-rent feel.
