Critics Consensus

Monotonously formulaic, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is one action thriller sequel whose title also serves as a warning.

You are almost willing to forgive the cheesy emotional climax especially when it ends with Cruise's electric smile. This one's for Reacher, Cruise and Child fans alone.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is dispiritingly formulaic, retaining much of the first film's swaggering masculinity, but none of its self-awareness.

A bland and generic action flick, not just forgettable after the fact, but during.

2.5/5

Despite the efforts of Cruise and Smulders, things never rise above predictable and/or formulaic.

2/4

Exclusively suited for those with a particular interest in this intellectual property, especially given the low-rent quality of the story and production.

A kind of grittier cousin to the Mission: Impossible films, Never Go Back doesnt stray much from the Tom Cruise action formula, but that will be just fine for most.

I don't like Tom Cruise's performance in this movie—not to mention the script is poorly written.

Don't understand the crappy reviews. I've watched 10 times and never gets old. Good plot, acting, etc. Like the original, think sequel is superior.

Sequels almost never get it right, eh? I liked this movie. I liked the action sequences—perfect for my taste ,not too loud or explosive. I loved the female-centric action too, played incredibly well by Cobie Smulders. The daughter arc was utterly stupid and bland. I knew it just possibly was not his daughter. But, I love to cringe anyway. The emotional build-up was a lost cause. Everything felt so scattered and weak. The mystery was non-existent and far too predictable compared to the previous adaptation. There's fleeing, catching up, and throwing punches repeated in cycles for the entire length of the movie.

I don't understand the bad reviews. It's not as good as the first Jack Reacher movie, and it's a little corny at times, but it's an enjoyable action movie. It's certainly more entertaining than a lot of things out there. Not amazing, but it's worth a watch if you like action movies.

Come troppo spesso accade, un film di successo viene poi seguito da un sequel improvvisato e dalla peggiore qualità. Anche in questo caso, i principali pregi del primo action vengono totalmente persi, per dar vita ad un film d'azione estremamente lento e prevedibile con il più classico dei complotti e quel moralismo di cui non si era per nulla sentita la mancanza nel primo atto. Davvero pochi gli spunti degni di nota ed anche il finale è debole ed estremamente banale. Film apprezzabile solo per gli amanti del genere; discreto il villain sicario.
