	Author	Review
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"The first one was a dud. This one's worse (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	Tom Cruise returns and he's mad as hell (...) The star gives author Lee Childs' action-lit ex-military hero an agility, rage and quick wit in this satisfying sequel (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"Anyone hoping for more than a superficial on-the-run chase movie will probably wish Reacher had stayed home, instead of going back"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A high-octane sequel that revels in its absurdity (...) Popcornily preposterous and watchable (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Stephanie Merry The Washington Post	"Action movies don’t have to be believable or poignant. They just have to get your adrenaline pumping. But the movie lacks inspiration in that department, too (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"A quality product that makes the case for a franchise"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The film serves up nothing that hasn't been seen in countless action films before, and it's striking how little effort appears to have been made to give it any distinction"	NEG
United Kingdom	Guy Lodge Time Out	Zwick’s film improves on Christopher McQuarrie's inaugural, incoherent 2012 entry in the serie (...) it's efficient, unfussy, and doesn't try to think any faster than it can run (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This follow-up is as featureless and generic as its title, but the action and the banter make for a pleasant, if disposable, trip to the movies"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Cruise’s undeniable star power is all that keeps “Never Go Back” from feeling like it came off a studio assembly line"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"'Jack Reacher: Never Go Back' is the second movie that Tom Cruise has starred in as this title character. Let's hope it's the last."	NEG
