Weekend Movie - Tom Cruise - 'Never Go Back'

I have been looking forward to this film for a long while now.  I may have inadvertantly made a mistake in my timing in seeing it.  With that said I was at the Bonners Mall Theaters in Ponderay-Sandpoint Idaho for the first showing at 11:10AM Friday morning. I enjoyed the movie.  Enjoyed Tom Cruise's performance.  And of course reading the books makes character 'Jack Reacher' seem like an old friend.  

With this movie I could have just as easily been going to see 'Reacher's' female counter part, Cobie Smulders.  Which was OK because she was definitely a stud and equal to holding up her end of the duo.  Reminded me of 'Safe House' with Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds.  A good movie, lots of action, good plot.  But all the advertising was 'Denzel Washington'.  Easily half the movie was around Ryan Reynolds' character, as was the case in 'Reacher-Never go Back' and Cobie Smulders.

So I suspect I will enjoy this movie more the 2nd time knowing and looking forward to the dual 'lead'.  I would suggest this movie in the theater if a 'Jack Reacher' Fan.  Otherwise waiting for DVD will be just right.   And my possible TIMING error?  Seeing this so soon after 'Deepwater Horizon'.  There was no comparison, in my opinion, between the two and easily suggest Deepwater over Reacher for your Big Screen Choice.

I believe another excellent review, Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint  I rarely go to movies or purchase DVD's.  In fact, I seem to like repeated reruns of Sleepless in Seattle, The Descendants,  and You've Got Mail :)    I once did like  Tom Cruise:  Top Gun, The Firm, Pelican Brief and then, lost interest. Your review, Mark, had me interested in seeing this movie.  Hey, you must be really good at this.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint  You really must have been disappointed . I saw "Deepwater Horizon" and was really looking forward to it as it is a true story . I was very-very disappointed and the comments of people walking out  were not good either  ..Thanks for the Thumbs down on Jack Reacher -- Tom Hanks Inferno  is next on my list

Happy Saturday Mark and thank you for the review. We've seen the trailers for it and it looks good.  We saw the Magnificent 7 last week and enjoyed it.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint - It's interesting when they only show-case one star, and the film ends up being around two main characters!  Glad you enjoyed both films!

Hello Hannah Williams .  We really go oppisite on our films.  Could be the next Siskle - Ebert (spelling?) team.   I enjoyed Deepwater and had many comments the same.  I have worked oil fields and was familiar with much of what they talked and were doing.  Maybe that made a difference.  The people in the oil field were much the same as portrayed as well.  

I agree on 'Inferno'.  Of course when was the last Tom Hanks film we did not like?  Enjoy your Sunday.

hello Kathy Streib .  I saw Magnificent 7 as well.  It was good entertainment because of Denzel I felt.  But I, as you, enjoyed the movie but most likely will not see it even again on DVD.  I think you will like Reacher if you liked '7'.  Thank you for saying hello.  Mark

Hello Chris Ann Cleland .  Just warn him the lady sidekick is just as much in the spotlight as Tom.  Do let him know she kicks 'a' though.  Mark

Hello Sybil Campbell .  While Tom is still looking damn good I think this is the first movie I felt I saw his age.  I liked it on him.  Mark

Hello Jane Chaulklin-Schott .  I think many of the 'hot' tickets go through a down time in mid 30ish.  Then the good ones find their way back.  You might try 'Live, Die, Repeat' with Tom Cruise. Available on DVD right now and I felt good acting. Thank you for saying hello and leaving a comment.  Mark

Mark, you do a great job on your movie reviews, it sounds like you're a pro! I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan so will likely not see this one but, he does have a couple movies that I've been impressed with in the past. He gets full credit for staying relevant for so long.
