Some causes demand sacrifice.

What I Loved

Worth Dying For delivers visceral justice against despicable villains, making Reacher’s battles deeply satisfying. The Nebraska setting feels oppressively remote, amplifying the stakes. Child’s pacing is tight, with graphic takedowns that hit hard, though some find the violence excessive. Reacher’s vulnerability adds a raw edge to this standalone thriller.

Key Takeaway

Fight for the vulnerable.
