Loved the first one.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.

Not as good as the first IMO. But maybe that has something to do with the novelty of the first movie introducing the character.

Tom is short he looks really stupid in some bigger guys clothes and the escape stretched credibility big time.

The girl in it "his daughter" was incredibly annoying.

7.5/10

never read the Reacher novels ... have heard they are good. fans of the novels that i know didn't think Cruise was the type to play Reacher when they first heard it would be him, thinking he is too short.

Jack Reacher is supposedly 6'5" and weighs up to 250 lbs. Tom Cruise is 5'7". I was shocked when he was chosen and have no idea what Lee Child was thinking when he cast Cruise.

Jack Reacher fans went into meltdown.

but he can play the character? Anne Rice fans were shocked when he played the vampire Lestat but ended up doing okay ...

Hubby has just put on this movie :

"Letters from Iwo Jima"

It was produced by Clint Eastwood and released around 2006.

I'm sitting here on one of the sofas in our lounge room pretending to look inspired and interested at a WWII movie where EVERYTHING SPOKEN is in freaking Japanese....and I'm required to read subtitles.
