Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back Review

You all wanted a sequel to Tom Cruise's first Jack Reacher movie, right?  No?  Well too bad you got one anyway.  It's called Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, and surprisingly enough, the trailers made it seem like it could be a pretty awesome movie.

Unfortunately we all know a cool trailer does not automatically make for a good movie, which is what you have me for.  Was this a movie worth seeing, or would it have been better if Jack Reacher never went there in the first place?  Check out my review:

Medieval Medicine

Medical treatment has had a long history of evolution, and for quite a bit of it, going to a doctor was often worse than simply dying. With little to no understanding of how the body worked or the microscopic organisms that could poison it, doctors often relied on religion and superstition to discern treatment. Consider the Dark Ages, wherein disease was considered caused by evil spirits. The Cure? Prayer. Blood-letting. Drilling holes in the skull to let the demon out. That kind of thought persisted well into the 19th century. Even by the American Civil War, doctors were still often little more than butchers and charlatans.

Nature's Rules

The Crane Technique Most people remember Mr. Miyagi for his famous "wax on, wax off" training method, but the Karate master gave Daniel-san lots of sage wisdom about all facets of life in The Karate Kid, including one gem that has particular relevance to yesterday's Health Care Summit. You see Daniel was always in a rush to learn, and even though he had barely grasped the basics of how to throw a punch, Daniel immediately asked to be taught the advanced Crane technique when he saw Mr. Miyagi performing it on the beach. In response, Mr. Miyagi chuckled and admonished him, "First learn stand, then learn fly. Nature rule Daniel-san, not mine."
