With all of the iconic characters that he’s portrayed onscreen, it’s inevitable that some of Tom Cruise’s many movie action heroes might not land or become quite as memorable as some of the others. For every Ethan Hunt, there’s a Jack Reacher lying around somewhere, a character based on the popular Lee Child books who brings out a much quirkier, more intense, and often more absurd version of Cruise’s tough guy persona. For better, or for worse.
Now, Cruise is returning as Reacher on screen this week in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, which finds the “ex-Major” once again taking justice into his own hands when Major Turner (Cobie Smulders), a female military leader who he’s taken a fondness to, is arrested under mysterious circumstances that hint at a conspiracy or cover-up going on within the military. At the same time, Reacher also learns that he may be a father to a daughter he never met -- a 15-year-old living on her own out of foster care -- and searches for the girl in the hopes of finding out the truth behind their relationship.
Those are the basic plot components of Never Go Back and from there, Cruise and Smulders both go on a journey that not only takes them to internet cafes in Washington D.C., but also to parades in New Orleans. Where the first Jack Reacher film was directed with a quirky and brutal hand by Christopher McQuarrie, Cruise is instead reuniting here with his Last Samurai filmmaker, Edward Zwick, who takes the more intense and unique parts about the Jack Reacher character and bumps them all the way up to some seriously ridiculously levels here.
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back fails to even once give the audience a legitimate reason for it to exist, but it’s a fun, absurd action romp with a few memorable moments that can’t help but be boosted by Cruise’s natural onscreen charisma.
