Jack Reacher 2 doesn't bring anything new to the action genre, but there's nothing wrong with that. It is another Tom Cruise action movie, smaller in scope than the Mission Impossible movies, but still exciting with plenty of action scenes. They mix it up a little from the standard formula by taking the lone wolf Jack Reacher and making him work with others. Those others, Cobie Smulder's Major Turner and a teenage girl (Danika Yarosh), also prefer to work alone, so there is some conflict besides the main plot and villains.
Speaking of those villains, there is really no depth there. There is the standard Bond formula of a big evil guy behind a desk and his agent working in the field. Neither one is developed as a character and there is no reason to care about what they are doing because there is no real risk that they are out-thinking Jack Reacher.
