Caught enough of the premise, the chemistry between Cruise and Smulders, and enough pieces of both films on TV to say, check it out. Have heard from a fan that he's not tall enough. And can't really jump from the empire State Building and…

Only saw a few minutes of the first movie, but watched this one in full. It was just an ok movie. Action is decent, but this isn't the MI series that Tom Cruise is famous for. Not a must watch either.

Probably the worst Tom Cruise movie I've seen in many years. All the acting was somehow "off". Just no connections between the characters. And totally formulaic - just an endless string of cliches run together.

This was a failure. Why filmmakers feel they need to stray from Child's material is beyond me. The actress, Smuthers, doesn't do the female protagonist in the book any justice whatsoever because the filmmaker wanted to focus on having the…

A decent watchable action flick with the unstoppable Jack Reacher able to withstand multiple fights and beatings as he solves another case of corruption within the U.S. military.

A slow start as the stage is set for corruption within the military; the pace picks up in the second half. There's a sideplot where Reacher may or may not have a daughter--who has some of his persuasive ways. Lots of violence, sometimes…

The title should be: “JACK REACHER: Never Go to Watch this Movie!!”
Yup; even worse than the 1st one. The social engineering propaganda is so blatant and over-the-top, it's torture to watch this. Note: In just the first 12 min. of the…

Another adventure of our mysterious and outside the box main character. In ways I liked this better than the first. The interaction with the girl that clearly must be his daughter was very well done. Apparently the box office didn't like…

Directed by Edward Zwick in 2016 based on the book "Never go back" by Lee Child, this American action thriller follows Reacher going on-the-run with an Army Major who has been framed for espionage and reveals a dark conspiracy.
Although…

Despite violent encounters, Jack Reacher is never injured. Jack Reacher is a cartoon character. Obviously, the producers have spent a lot of money on this picture. But there is nothing to differentiate it from competing franchises. …

It doesn't matter if Cruise fits Reacher's description in the novel he got the attitude and his way of thinking no one complained when Matt took the role of Jason bourne in the bourne film series. so quit complaining about how he doesn't…

Run of the mill Hollywood offer. Midget Tom Cruise attempt to portray huge Jack Reacher and it does not work. The whole persona of Reacher is a very large and very physical man and here is a somewhat elderly Cruise trying to look 6'5".…
Although I would have to agree with MTM's comments below, still, the Jack Reacher character was supposed to be 6'5" and 250 lbs. not a little person like Cruise, which ruins the main character, and then Lee Child, after he sold to Cruise,…

The second Tom-Cruise-as-Jack-Reacher movie begins well but soon hits the quicksand. By the time you get to the Big Easy, about the halfway point, you know what's going to happen. There will be the final mano-a-mano-battle-to-the-death…
