Many people will say that this plot is old-fashioned, but if a seemingly old-fashioned plot is accompanied by a brainy character (script) and excellent editing and details, it is still enough to attract the audience. JR2 is a "family-style" escape drama, unknowingly the male lead, female lead and young girl characters form a temporary family. This film uses a conspiracy and a pressing villain to show what a good family should look like: the father is strict but reasonable, and setting discipline for the children is not simply ordering them to obey. The mother is not only kind and intelligent, but also teaches. Things that are really useful for kids. This is why the girl is so reluctant in the end.
Speaking of the role of a girl, the screenwriter and director gave her a clever setting, not the kind of reliance on dragging oil bottles to constantly make mistakes to promote the plot, so that the audience will be more likely to like this role, and only if they like it will they care about her. Destiny can be firmly grasped by the plot.
The photography and soundtrack are still the style of the previous one, but I think this one is much sharper in editing. The previous one follows the line of criminal investigation, and the plot rhythm will be relatively slow, and it can even be said to be more procrastinated. And this film taking the escape route needs to be edited more sharply and sharply. The final degree of completion is also quite good. Of course, the plot is not invulnerable, and it is difficult to convincingly use the villain’s obsession with the male protagonist to promote the plot.
In fact, Tom Cruise has not been a superb Hollywood superstar, he exudes a sense of modern helplessness. In Mission: Impossible, he is a god-like character, and all troubles are ultimately not troubles. But in the end he still needs a character to show the emotional level, so we have Jack Reacher, this character is no better than other outstanding agent/soldier characters, but no worse than them.
