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.
With the departure of director Christopher McQuarrie, Tom Cruise re-teams with Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai), for this adaptation of Lee Child's novel, Never Go Back (the eighteenth book in Child's series).

The New York Times
"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.

If ever there was a movie that could stop a franchise in its tracks, it's this one.

Los Angeles Times
This 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
By-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.
