Honestly, I really liked the first one.
The solitary and intelligent Jack Reacher combines the advantages of Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt, with the wildness of a male wolf, the sharpness of a falcon, and the three caves of a cunning rabbit.
Although in the second part, these characteristics of Jack are still partially inherited, such as his extraordinary observation ability, taking advantage of opportunities everywhere; good at seeing opportunities, able to win more with less; especially able to endure hardship, especially able to fight, etc. . But the second part failed because Jack was too tender. A man who was entangled in little love and love was not worthy of the title of "Xia" Detective. Although it is finally revealed that the little girl is not Jack's flesh and blood, I want to say that if Jack knew this fact from the beginning, even if he would still help and protect the little girl, he would not be so motivated. Nor does it breed so many additional emotions.
It may be a matter of personal preference. I think Jack is better to be a solitary hero. It is particularly cumbersome and unfavorable to be entangled with girls and family. It is like a tough guy who has been transformed into a girl, and it is extraordinarily nondescript.
That's why I don't particularly like Daniel Craig's version of James Bond. It's an emotional cannon at every turn. When I walk on the road, I'm afraid people won't know that he's thinking about life. Brother, are you 007? It's the unrestrained and romantic Queen's agent, not the lover of Shakespeare reciting by the Thames!
What's more terrible is that the character setting of this film has been deviant, and the story is not as good as the first one. The whole film, "Since ancient times, Huashan has been a road", tells the story straight to the end, with no reversal, no ups and downs, and if the prevarication is over, let Jack use some cleverness to make a roundabout - Director, won't the audience feel very perfunctory if you do this?
This is not to mention, this film not only has poor plot design, but also has a bad temper and absent from the performance. The case is also vague like fragments. One after another, the dead dragons who have turned black in the hall, you will sing and I will come on stage, using your own blood to drag the development of the plot, forcibly detaining the monstrous crime on "Desperado Soup", while Brother Tom takes it easy. The lover's daughter travels around the United States, as if investigating a case is just a troublesome thing that requires overtime on vacation...
Of course, this film still has its advantages. In the processing of details, the sequel still inherits the meticulousness and steadfastness of the previous work. For example, every time "Jack Soup" harassed key people, he never forgets to grab some cash, and he has the right to "open the house" with "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Then drive a car, don't forget to insert a screwdriver in the keyhole, indicating that we have stolen this car, so that the little girl who is not familiar with the world can complain, "Very good, this is very desperate"...
By the way, this film is called "Never Go Back". If this series continues this rhythm, you should go forward boldly, Atang, don't look back, sour rice will be stinky no matter how many times you fry it. Cold rice can't be changed back to delicious food...
