This is another solid Tom Cruise action movie. Cobie Smulders is a nice addition and most of the time it seemed like her Major Turner was in charge and Reacher was the muscle/meat. The addition of a 15-year old girl to the story added emotional impact, especially after her relationship with Reacher had been established. Honestly though, having to see a rebellious 15-year old was a negative overall. Watching a cocky teenager who thinks she knows everything is not entertaining. I found it refreshing to see respect given to Military service and its disciplines.
The primary baddie known simply as "The Hunter" was written as an extremely ruthless character but lacked convincing reasons as to why he seems to want to kill everybody. He doesn't seem to show any loyalty to his employer and doesn't have sufficient backstory to justify his hatred for everyone.
The character of Jack Reacher is small time compared to Cruise's other action hero icon, Ethan Hunt. The Reacher flicks don't carry the big event tag like the Mission Impossible series does.
