Finished watching Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, directed by Edward Zwick and staring Tom Cruise, Jason Douglas, Cobie Smulders, Robert Catrini and Danika Yarosh. The film opens up with Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) at a dinner in where he arrests the sheriff (Jason Douglas) for human trafficking with help from military police after being in contact with its head Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders). When Jack heads back to Washington DC to meet with Turner he discovers that she has been arrested on accounts of being involved with the death of two soldiers who went on a mission in Afghanistan under her command. With this news Jack tries to clear Turner's name which leads to the two going on the run when Reacher is arrested for the death of Turner's lawyer (Robert Catrini) who was beaten to death at his home. Overall this was a decent film as it is a good solid action film but is not without its faults. The subplot of Jack discovering that he may have a daughter (Danika Yarosh) is an interesting concept that helps to raise the stakes in the film but it does leave a lot to desire. The fighting choreography is great as it shows just how brutal each character fighting styles are extremely well but the editing doesn't flow as well as the choreography. 6.5/10.
