Boasting all the amazing action set-pieces introduced in the first film entry, this sequel goes far and beyond to live up to the now-iconic name of Jack Reacher. Though somewhat convoluted, the plot is well conceived and the large cast supports Cruise's commanding presence nicely.

With time running out and government operatives in hot pursuit, the pair find themselves on the run across the country, facing a desperate battle to remain one step ahead.

Settle in for an action movie worthy of Cruise’s long catalogue of hits, reinvigorating the success he found earlier in his career with the era-defining pop culture classic: the Mission Impossible franchise. Reacher and the alleged gunman have a history that dates back to their military service when Reacher investigated him for heinously murdering civilians during a psychotic break, a crime that he really did commit, but for which he went unpunished due to one of those pesky legal technicalities. The Reacher Season 2 DVD is about Jack Reacher and is based on the 11th novel in Child's Jack Reacher series, Bad Luck and Trouble.

No matter; as a leading man, Cruise is always going to be himself anyway, so the ghostlike qualities built in to his character take on their own mythical qualities that allow both Cruise and Reacher to get the job done.Turning up in Margave, Georgia, Jack doesn’t even carry a bag with him, but his first issue is to address a moron who’s hassling his girlfriend. Even then, unless I wasn’t following it properly, the plot seems to chop and change, and doesn’t have an awful lot of coherence.

Reacher, a former criminal investigator for the Army, sees the news report and hastily heads for the city. When a gunman takes five lives in what seems like an open and shut murder case, all evidence points to the suspect in custody.Richard Jenkins and Robert Duvall do their usual excellent work, though it is Werner Herzog as a wildly over-the-top villain who makes things positively gleeful in his few scenes. I’ll wait for the reception to this series upon its release, before deciding whether to watch more episodes.
