Fan Contributor Managing Editor Nick Nunziata reviews Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, director Edward Zwicks adaptation of the Lee Child novel. The film tells the story of the titular tough guy facing a government conspiracy involving murdered soldiers, overseas trafficking, and a girl who may be his daughter. Tom Cruise reprises his role and is joined by Cobie Smulders in a film that aspires to top the surprise hit original. Does it?
