how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 51 comments (46 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 10 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Overall, a superior sequel. Some people will never get over the height discrepancy but character-wise, Never Goes Back brings Reacher closer to the books for the type of thriller that rarely gets made these days.”
Jonathan Pile, Empire · 80
“With few words and the odd squint, Cruise hard boils all of his charisma into a clenched fist, but is more than happy to let a dynamic Smulders take the lead in many scenes.”
Jamie Graham, Total Film · 80
“Cruise finds the core of Reacher in his eyes, with a haunted gaze that says this lone wolf is still on a mission and still a long way from home. That's the Reacher Lee Child created in his books. And Cruise does him proud.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 75
“This is a superior and assured action movie, a quality product that makes the case for a franchise.”
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle · 75
“Somehow, Reacher gets under your skin with his mordant wit, razor-sharp intelligence, and existentialist intensity.”
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer · 75

“**...but he did go back and got into a trouble!** The original source is a long book series, so they did not do it in order. Like the first film, which was based on the ninth book, this one was on the eighteenth. It was a stylishly made film. The actors were good, and their stunts were excellent. But not the storyline. This is a very familiar theme. You know, someone framed you and you go on to dig the truth while everyone trying to hunt you down. There are lots of close encounter, which give”

“A suitably entertaining sequel, even if it is a downgrade on the very good original. <em>'Jack Reacher: Never Go Back'</em> sees a whole new cast, with one obvious exception, and that does affect my enjoyment - not a fan of major cast changes, myself. Still, the newcomers all add a decent amount with their performances. The premise, meanwhile, is less interesting than that of <em>'Jack Reacher'</em>, but it still makes for solid action. Tom Cruise (Jack) is, as you'd predict, the clear bes”

“Good movie. Just like a normal type of Tom Cruise movie. Where he kicks lots of butte. In this one he's like a ghost. Trying to be like the bourne identity. Still a decent movie though.”

““Reacher” (Tom Cruise) returns to Washington for a bit of dinner with his new army handler (Cobie Smulders) only to find that she has been replaced and charged with espionage and double murder. He’s a bit suspicious and so sets about trying to get to the bottom of things. No mean feat, as it happens, because it is soon clear to him (and her) that they are facing a conspiracy that goes right to the top of the military. With just about every armed agency on their tail, his problems only get worse ”
