The first part of the American action movie about Jack Reacher was successful at the box office, so its continuation was not long in coming. The film "Jack Reacher 2", the actors and roles of which are well selected, is an excellent blockbuster with a lot of action scenes and high-quality special effects.
About the film
Action "Jack Reacher 2", the actors for the roles in which they were selected very harmoniously, is a dynamic entertaining spectacle. The film was released in October 2016.
Two states worked simultaneously on the production of films: China and the USA. The film is a sequel to a rather successful action movie about a former military man named Jack Reacher.
The second part was not as commercially profitable as the first, but also brought considerable profit to its creators.
Plot
At the center of the movie "Jack Reacher 2", the actors and roles of which will be described in this article below, is still the same former soldier, who today is a rather mysterious person.
This time he arrives in Washington to personally meet with Major S. Turner. Previously, she was the head of his unit and often helped him out in difficult situations.
Turner was arrested shortly before his arrival in the capital of America. Coincidence is this or a planned action to annoy Richer, the protagonist does not know yet. That is what he will have to find out. Jack is absolutely sure of her innocence, so he takes active steps to prove this and release his former commander.
The film has not only a furious action and fights with opponents, but also several rather shocking plot twists that make much more interesting than "Jack Reacher 2". Actors of the role entrusted to them win back 100%. Thanks to this, the film is not just another Hollywood blockbuster, but rather a deep film.
"Jack Reacher 2": actors and roles
The key role, as most people know, went to Tom Cruise, who is not the first to play unshakable characters who can cope with enemies alone, and neither their number nor the degree of power matters. Recall at least all parts of the Mission Impossible franchise.
In the film "Jack Reacher 2," the actor in the role of a former military man demonstrates all the coolness and fearlessness of his hero. Tom Cruise looks very harmonious in this way.
In addition to him, actors such as Kobe Smulders, known for the series “How I Met Your Mother” and “Lemony Snicket: 33 Misfortunes”, as well as Eldis Hodge (“Voice of the Streets”), Danika Yarosh (“Shameless”) played in the film. and others.
Despite the fact that the leading actors played their characters pretty well, minor characters were revealed very poorly.
Reviews and box office
In “Jack Reacher 2”, the actors with roles (photo below) did a good job, but as mentioned above, this applies to key characters.
In general, the film received low ratings from film critics, who highlight a number of shortcomings: a weak plot, poor acting and directing, predictability, etc. Of the pluses, critics noted high entertainment and high-quality special effects. If you consider that this is a simple entertaining action movie, then we can say that it copes with its main tasks perfectly.
The first part was more successful. A wide range of viewers liked the film, and they willingly went to the cinema sessions. With a budget of $ 60 million, which is not so much by Hollywood standards, the film managed to collect about 218. This is a good indicator, but in the USA the fees were relatively small, so at first the creators did not plan to shoot a sequel, but the sequel did take place.
It turned out to be slightly worse than the first part. Therefore, with a similar budget of 60 million, he managed to collect only 162 at the global box office. This cannot be called a failure, but it does not attract success. The filmmakers were counting on big profits.
It is difficult to say whether the continuation of the film will be released while there is no information about it. In any case, many people would love to see another story about this rather interesting character and his adventures. Of course, there should be a lot of skirmishes and fights to captivate the public.
Conclusion
The film "Jack Reacher 2", the actors in the role of the main characters in which were carefully selected, is a pretty good film, but it is difficult to call it outstanding. This is a typical blockbuster with a large number of spectacular chases, hand-to-hand fights and shootings.
The whole film rests only on special effects and the main actor. Tom Cruise, as always, is very good in the image of Reacher. He copes with the roles of incredibly tough guys, on whose shoulders lies the task, if not to save the whole world, then at least a few human lives.
Who knows, perhaps in the near future, viewers will be able to enjoy another continuation of the story about this overly spectacular character. If the creators succeed in correcting the mistakes and shortcomings of the previous tapes, then an excellent action movie can be obtained, comparable, with the already cult film about John Wick.
