Jack Reacher: Never Go
Back (2016)
Directed by Edward
Zwick this film based on the novel of the same name stars Tom Cruise,
Cobie Smulders and Danika Yarosh. Heading to DC our hero finds his
buddy sent to jail for a crime she didn't commit and a girl claiming
to be the daughter he never knew he had.
Taking a highly
predictable plot this film rattles through the motions without much
thought for having any sort of character arcs. Introducing Cobie
Smulders as a female counterpart to the protagonist offers a brief
flicker of interesting content but is quickly swept under the carpet
in favour of the protagonist doing it all himself. I suppose the
stunts are fine but the fact that nearly every scene opens with the
characters running somewhere gets kind of silly.
2/5
