Ranking October 2016's Movies - From Worst To Best
15. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
RottenTomatoes Score: 37% (5.1/10)
Box Office: Made for a fairly modest $60 million given the talent involved, Jack Reacher 2 is about to cross the $100 million mark and has yet to open in a number of international territories. It won't get close to the original's $218.3 million total and may kill the franchise as a result, but expect it to do well on the home video circuit in a few months.
Verdict: Probably one of the most generic mainstream movies released all year, Tom Cruise's latest action vehicle is never less than watchable, but from the dialogue through to the plot and villains, it's all been there, done that.
It gets a few points for the fun dynamic between Cruise and co-star Cobie Smulders, but after the solid first film, this really needed to try much, much harder.
