Jack Reacher. Never Go Back [2021] Info

The film smartly pivots from a lone-wolf story to a road movie about three people. Reacher (Cruise), Turner (Smulders), and Samantha (Yarosh) have a chemistry that saves the film from feeling like a generic procedural. Reacher’s confusion and awkwardness around a potential daughter provide genuine emotional depth.
