Review of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) by Joanne L — 31 May 2017

Such a mediocre film with very uninspiring plot and actions. I cannot believe this film has the same director with exhilarating action films like "The Last Samurai" or "Blood Diamond".

Tom Cruise is as dependable as ever, but his supporting cast is simply disappointing. The lovely pre-"Gone Girl" Rosamund Pike was not at all impressive in the first "Jack Reacher", but at least she commanded her role with grace and beauty.

In her place in this sequel is Cobie Smulders, who I am pretty sure will never be half as big as her "How I Met Your Mother" fame "thanks" to her lack of charisma, and "wooden" acting.

Without Tom, this film would be totally mistaken for a B-movie with single-digit budget, because it actually is one.
