"Jack Reacher" is not a series as successful as Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible", and the second "Never Go Back" has not completely reversed the first one. It can be said that in addition to the routine action movie plot, the whole film can rely on Tom Cruise's handsome appearance despite showing some vicissitudes.
Adapted from Lee Chad's "The Prodigal Son" series of novels, Christopher McQuarrie, who won the Oscar for best screenplay for "The Very Suspect", wrote and directed "Jack Reacher", but only presented A very mediocre action film, and this time Paramount took great pains to not only choose Edward Zwick, who was famous for directing "The Burning Years", as the director, but also invited the original author Richard to participate. The screenwriter, trying to rebuild the universe and re-enacting the success of "Mission Impossible", indeed "Never Go Back" does not have the same anticlimactic criticism as the previous work, but it is limited to that.
As far as the plot is concerned, "Never Go Back" gives people a deja vu like "Hurricane Rescue", but in form, it tries to get closer to the compact fighting mode of "Mission Impossible", which is not bad. In the hours of time, action films have the most basic sense of restraint, and they have a pertinent sense of balance, but if you are used to watching the whole film, the film has completely abandoned the mode of detective story, and has become a product of a Hollywood film factory assembly line. It is difficult for the movie to find its own bright spot in a situation where the dazzling skills are difficult to compare with "Mission Impossible". It can only be said that Tom Cruise once again created a traditional American hero.
In fact, compared to Tom Cruise's well-known "Mission: Impossible" series, I personally prefer his performance in his early works "Rain Man" and "Interview with the Vampire", because in these films he really Created a completely different character image, instead of just re-enacting the heroic characters of the past like "Jack Reacher", and the old-fashioned and difficult-to-see new plot also makes this hero who can only rely on scenes to fight The movie, after three days, has become a thing of the past.
The unrecognizable detective in the first show makes the sequel simply abandon this mode that can be very useful if it is good at the plot, and continue the action film routine with tight rhythm and no brains, which makes the film Tom Crewe. Si's interpretation is like an unspeakable detective once you see a chivalrous person.
