The Jack Reacher movies are positively full of people whose days or lives are ruined by Jack Reacher simply because they were trying to do their job. Which is part of the fun, I suppose. Normal people like us are stymied every day by guys like these cops — oblivious folks who don’t have a clue what we’re dealing with. Most of us grumble a bit, maybe threaten to write angry letters to their supervisors, and then go home and rant about it on Twitter.

Jack Reacher was never that terrific to begin with, but if any franchise could have been saved from a significant improvement, it was this one. The first film is a serviceable action/thriller that audiences ended up being pretty divided over, so I was actually looking forward to a continuation, possibly diving deeper into the life of Jack Reacher or giving him a more exciting mission. That being said, this film accomplishes none of the above and everything that was done so well in the original seems to be thrown to the sidelines. This film proves why there are so many unnecessary sequels made each year, but the most puzzling aspect is that Tom Cruise actually produced it. I was never really a big fan of the first and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back still disappointed me. Here is why I recommend staying away from this sequel. Although each action sequence built on the last, moving the picture forward in the best ways possible, it fell apart with its excessive run time, making audiences slightly bored. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back falls into this trap tenfold. Reacher as he is still on the run from the law and trying to clear his name, he teams up with Major Susan Turner, who had also been wrongly accused and thrown in prison. On top of that, Reacher finds out that he may have a daughter from the past that has just turned up. Paying an enormous amount of attention to the family aspect surrounding this film, it becomes slightly too melodramatic. Due to the fact that this aspect is brought to the forefront so often, the action is even more minimal than the first. Aside from the very end of the film, you have pretty much seen every other exciting moment already. Now, I do commend them for hiding certain aspects that they wanted to see secret until the films release, but it ended up using the best portions of the film to do that. This is a character study, disguised as an action/thriller, all while being a story about caring about family. It was a very odd change of pace that did not work for this film at all. I found myself scratching my head on multiple occasions, wondering if it was going to kick into gear, but it never does. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back threads in between too many side plots to really care about the main story. When the action scenes arose, I found myself wanting them to end, because their sole purpose seemed to be due to the fact that its genre is in the action/thriller category. From trying to be emotional, to trying to be a serviceable action film, to trying to do everything it can to keep this an ongoing franchise, this picture fails on almost every level. I did not buy the relationship between Cruise and his supposed daughter, but I did not care too much about that plot to begin with. In the end, bringing in a fresh director did not help, going for a different take on this character just did not fit the genre, and the action pieces are slim to none. Aside from the aforementioned chemistry between its two leads and a commendable visual style, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is one of the weaker films I have seen all year. That is saying a lot, coming from someone that did not expect it to be very impressive to begin with. In the end, I just cannot get myself to recommend this film, even to the fans of the original or the most generic of action junkies. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back has nothing interesting or fun to offer. It is a pretty awful attempt at a sequel.
