Why is "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back" Trending on Netflix?
Well, it seems like a lot of people are discovering this Tom Cruise action thriller, even though it was originally released back in 2016! It's totally possible that people are digging into it because they're hooked on Amazon Prime's "Reacher", with the super tall Alan Ritchson, as the super cool character! Maybe fans wanted more Reacher action and they decided to catch up. But what's the buzz?
Tom Cruise: A Jack Reacher Mystery
In all honesty, there has always been this big question about Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher. Those who know those books from Lee Child - which are super popular - probably didn't think he was a good fit for the part! There’s always a ton of debate - but now it seems like more people are bringing it up.
Tom Cruise Vs. The Real Reacher?
- This whole debate - about the way the Jack Reacher character is described in those books vs. Tom Cruise being 5 foot 7 - even though he does have that whole super lean, athletic build - is quite funny to fans!
- Remember those Lee Child books talk about a huge guy who's 6 foot 5 and super buff!
- The movie series had good box office - but wasn't quite as successful, especially the second film - "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back"! There's even some Jack Reacher criticism from some movie buffs.
What's with Alan Ritchson's Reacher?
We haven't had a ton of news since he was in the news in 2022, but that series blew everyone away with the amazing performance from Alan Ritchson. It really made people realize how much they wanted those books to be turned into a show! With that series gaining so much popularity - those two Jack Reacher Movies, with Tom Cruise starring - they might look less impressive, now. Fans love Action Movies but with Amazon getting this huge hit, things could change!
Tom Cruise: Does He Still Work in Action?
- He’s super awesome! He was super popular in those "Mission Impossible" movies and a ton of other action movies, but now that there is a totally different version of Jack Reacher, the movies might just take a back seat for the show - but for fans, they might find some new action thriller to dive into on Netflix, too!
Those Jack Reacher books have a huge following. They also have lots of fans who would probably love to see other big actors take a crack at this - so there is always something to look forward to, and with new movies and shows on the horizon, who knows how those Jack Reacher Adaptations will impact fans. There's still so much potential in this franchise, and it is going to be pretty interesting to see what happens!
