Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is a brilliant film. Director Edward Zwick has successfully taken over the reins from Jack Reacher(2012) director, Christopher McQuarrie. This movie is as entertaining as its predecessor. The action sequences are more intense & thrilling. The highlight of the film is the climax, which takes place at a Halloween parade. Though both this movie & the 2012 original are equally good, if I had to choose, I like the sequel better. A note on the performances. Tom Cruise is spectacular as Jack Reacher. Cruise tones down his natural charm & charisma, due to the intense character he's portraying. Don't worry though. There are a lot of witty one-liners in the film, that Cruise says with just the right amount of sarcasm & nonchalance. Cobie Smulders is superb as Turner. Smulders shines in her first lead role, in a blockbuster. Aldis Hodge is great as Espin. Danika Yarosh is outstanding as Samantha. Cruise & Yarosh, share a very warm chemistry & natural camaraderie in the movie. Patrick Heusinger is awesome as The Hunter. Holt McCallany is impressive as Col. Morgan. Madalyn Horcher is good as Sgt. Leach. Robert Catrini is effective as Col. Moorcroft. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is a must watch for all action film buffs & Tom Cruise fans. Make way, Bond, Bourne & Hunt. We have a new spy in town & he's here to stay!
