I didn't mind the first Jack Reacher film because I have never read the books. However, I understood enough about the Reacher character to know that, while Cruise looks nothing like the part, he acted the part quite well. I cannot say the same for this film. This isn't Reacher as I understand him, nor did it resemble the Reacher from the first film. Added to that, the writing was sloppy and pedantic, the acting mostly trite, and the direction predictable. Whether or not you agree with the casting of Cruise in the role, one must admit that the first film was at least a decent action thriller at heart. This, sadly, was not. 2/5
