Jack Reacher: Never Back Down


Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) returns with his particular brand of justice in the highly anticipated sequel Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders) is the Army Major who heads Reacher’s old investigative unit. She is arrested for Treason and knowing that she is innocent, Reacher must break her out of prison and uncover the truth behind a major government conspiracy in order to clear their names and save their lives. On the run as fugitives from the law, Reacher uncovers a potential secret from his past that could change his life forever. 

Weird how far Tom Cruise has fallen.  Used to be the main summer blockbuster guy and now his random movies open up mid-October.  Anywho - this movie was pretty much exactly the same as the first one.  Good action, good temp, decent story . . . . . . . . . .but after you are done watching it you have pretty much forgotten about the movie five minutes later.  It's not that the movie is bad or good.  It's just sort of an action movie that is there.

I would not really recommend anyone go rushing to see this.  It's not a bad watch and is pretty enjoyable but it really isn't anything to talk about after seeing that.   The first one wasn't that memorable so why would the sequel to it be?
