Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

2nd movie in the Jack Reacher book series starring Tom Cruise. Reacher is drawn back to his MP days in the military when a Major is jailed to hide a conspiracy at the highest levels. Of all the Reacher books this is one of the weakest. Usual mayhem follows Jack around but Tom Cruise as the 6"4" 240 Reacher is a joke. @ bananas

The Girl on the Train

Emily Blunt is a divorced, depressed, suffering from blackouts alcoholic who rides a commuter train to  work every morning and views from her seat  her ex as well as others who become entangled in a very confusing murder. While the end is not surprising, getting to it is only because the other two women involved look so much alike. Dark and Dreary sets the tone. 2 1/2 bananas

Deepwater Horizon

Incredible recreation of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. May not win best picture of the year but sure is the most INTENSE movie of the year. I found myself holding my breath on numerous occasions. Special effects along with what a deep water drilling rig looks like up close, makes this movie a sure fire see it. Mark Wahlberg stars as a chief electrical engineer. 3 1/2 bananas
