Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is the sequel to 2012's Jack Reacher; both movies are based on the popular books by Lee Child. Like the first, this is a Tom Cruise thriller, so there's plenty of edge-of-your-seat action. Reacher is a one-man wrecking crew who leaves a trail of broken bodies - only the bad guys, of course - in his wake as he tries to right wrongs. Characters get shot, sometimes at close range ( execution style) , and are beaten to death. And while there's not much in the way of blood or gore, the fight scenes, especially the bone-snapping endings, can be pretty intense. On the plus side, there's no drinking, smoking, or drug use ( though a cache of drugs is found) . Sexual content is minimal ( flirting, a shot of a woman in a bra) , and swearing is moderate ( mainly s-t and d-khead) . And co-star Cobie Smulders plays a strong, capable woman who can keep up with Reacher.
