Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back — 1/5
ugh christ, i just realized this was the sequel rather than the original. I wanted to watch this because I'm interested in exploring Christopher McQuarrie's relationship with Tom Cruise, because I fucking love 'Edge of Tomorrow' and have such extreme disinterest in the entire Mission: Impossible franchise, and 'Jack Reacher' seemed to fit into this interesting low part of Cruise's career where he could have very easily been stuck in DTV vehicles for men to watch other men fighting other men, and I'd heard enough 'hey, it's not bad' to risk entry. ugh this was trash, it was such a long two hours, and I watched the wrong fucking movie, jesus. Feels like where this lines up with Mission: Impossible is with Tom Cruise thinking people like him because he's Perfect Guy. So smart!! So talented!! And he never says anything interesting!! At least 'Edge of Tomorrow' showed the long slough of becoming flawless. The smile at the end of that movie is one of my favorite cut-to-credits moments cuz he fucking earned that shit-eating grin.
