Jack Reacher - Never Go Back

Tom Cruise stars as Jack Reacher, ex Major in the Military Police.  He calls himself ex, but he is still involved covertly while living a vagabond life.  When he calls in to Maj. Susan Turner (Colbie Smulders) to pay her a Deep Throat type visit, they are both accused of military law violations.  They go on the run to avoid not only the law, but a covert assassin hunting them down.

There's always a weakness to exploit - here's it's a teenaged girl, who may or may not be Jack's daughter.  Jack and Susan grab her and take her along to New Orleans for good measure.  Along the way they become a little family, with Mom and Dad arguing who should go to work and who should stay home with the kids.

Tom Cruise doesn't change much, and after he changed clothes, he's wearing the exact same Top Gun outfit 30 years later.  He even has the same facial cuts as in Mission Impossible and Collateral.

A good popcorn shoot-em-up.   His version of Taken.  * * * of 5
