![]() ![]() Unfortunately, while director Edward Zwick's follow-up film, Never Go Back, includes similar pieces - none are as well-defined or impactful this round. ![]() Thanks to a clever story (borrowing from pieces of Lee Child's best-selling novel series), solid action set pieces, amusing supporting heroes, and a biting villain (played by Jai Courtney), Christopher McQuarrie's Jack Reacher exceeded expectation - to craft a surprisingly fresh and exciting crime drama that both book fans and casual filmgoers could appreciate. ![]() In the process, a destitute teenager, Samantha Dayton (Danika Yarosh), who Reacher believes could be his daughter, is unknowingly pulled into the lethal conflict - reminding the retired MP hero why he's better suited for a life on the road without personal relationships and responsibilities. Unwilling to accept that Turner, a dedicated and respected commander in the MP Corps, is guilty of the crime, Reacher sets out to clear her name by placing himself between the Major and a dangerous military organization - lead by a ruthless operative known as "The Hunter" (Patrick Heusinger). However, when Reacher's travels bring him to Virginia, he decides to pay Turner a visit - only to find that Turner has been relieved of her command and charged with espionage.
