Neither better or worse than the first Jack Reacher - the addition of Colbie Smulders is welcome, as is Patrick Heusinger as the unfeeling killer known only as The Hunter. They try to throw in a bit of family drama as well, though it doesn't work near as well and the overall plot isn't anything to write home about but, if you want a perfectly decent action film, this will do the trick.

This sequel to Tom Cruise's minor hit JACK REACHER has that blockbuster feel to it when it is arguably cheaper looking than the first movie. The plot moves fast though and never bores the viewer. Oddly it feels like two separate movies with one being a generic 90s style chase movie but is intermittently interrupted by one of those awkward road trip comedy-dramas. Seriously it's like Little Miss Sunshine takes the movie hostage sometimes. Tom Cruise is fine as the stoic stalwart hero and Cobie Smulders makes a cute but tough sidekick.
