The story of the jack reacher

jack reacher never go back as directed

by edward zwick and stars Tom Cruise

and

Cobie Smulders and is the story of Jack

Reacher being falsely accused of a crime

he didn't commit which happens a lot if

this guy people dont like this guy so

him and Cobie Smulders character both

become fugitives of the law and they

have to figure out how to prove that

they are innocent as well as uncovering

a secret from Reacher's past that just

might have severe personal implications

l actually really enjoyed the first Jack

Reacher a lot of people were saying this

Ireally enjoyed that movie sol was

pumped to see this film along with the

fact that it's edward zwick and Tom

Cruise teaming together again because

the last movie they made was the Last

Samurai which I also find very

underrated so pros first Tom Cruise is

really good with the physical scenes the

action scenes these are things . 

an actor who gives 110% when it comes

tophysicality and his roles he's very good

with stunt work he really sells the idea

of this character being how he is in the

novels which by the way I actually have

read some of the Jack Reacher books

and

I like this character and I like cruises

interpretation of him I think my biggest

positive in this moie is actually Cobie

Smulders she was really good as major

turner another person as I said whơ's

falsely accused she had a lot of

charisma to her

a lot of vitality she was a very fun

character and I liked her presence and

crews in this movie their back-and-forth

was fun to watch it was unconventional

it wasn't like smile and went to the

camera all the time these are two people

who don't really get along for a large

portion of the movie so saying that they

chemistry is accurate these characters

don't really get along for a long time

it's not like rush hour like we're Chris

Tucker and Jackie Chan don't get along

but it's funny these characters don't

really work well with one another untilthey learn to and watching their

relationship evolve was something that I

appreciated in this film all that being

said I left the theater disappointed

because this is unfortunately a very

formulaic action movie that doesn't

really have anything remarkable about it

and what was very surprising to me was

that Edward Zwick approached the action

Scenes in a very

ven tional way there isn't a single

sequence in this movie that I'm going to

really remember as that scene in the

first Jack Reacher film I think of that

amazing car chase well you got some

unbroken long tapes of crews doing a lot

of his own driving in fact all of it and

that was really exciting I think of the

chilling opening scene with the shooter

who was eyeing out his targets there are

a lot of scenes in Jack Reacher the

first one that I remember as being very

effective and really good there's

nothing like that and never go back

everything is just very conventionally

done it feels kind of like a

straight-to-dvd movie with a higher

budget with better actors one thing thatTom Cruise has never been accused of is

not having charisma the guy always has

lot of energy to him in his roles he

always is very likable and fun and he

gives a lot to his performances but I

got a say in this movie even he doesn't

seem like he wants to be here all I can

really think is that there was a major

miscommunication between director and

actor in this film because Tom Cruise

seems to be in a different place

Sometimes than the movie wants him to

be

sometimes they'll be this very slow

Scene and then all of a sudden it just

cuts with this big blast of music and

they're running somewhere and you're

like oh we're an action scene all

of a sudden like what just happened it's

like the movie forgot to be an action

movie and then it remembers to be an

action movie but it doesn't really filmit in a way that feels like it's got

some energy or some power to it wick

utilizes a lot of very tight lenses a

lot of zooms you see things very up

close it's very Jason Bourne style with

less cuts the action in Jack Reacher or

Mission Impossible rogue nation which

are both directed by Christopher

McQuarrie was far better done it

disappointed me because there are so

many sequences were just like these

faceless goons come out of nowhere and

Jack Reacher asked to beat him up and

I'm like what does this have to do with

the story and that's my other big issue

with the movie this story is actually

very hard to follow not that it's

confusing it's just poorly told they

throw in the aspect that Reacher might

have a daughter but this daughter

character seems to have no purpose for

the story other than to get into trouble

and make the wrong moves to get them

found which was troublesome to me

there

were so many missed opportunities in

this script and I got to say once you

get to a certain point in the
