Eight years after its theatrical release, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back found a new lease on life in the streaming world by climbing to the top of the charts. Its recently renewed popularity is proof of the enduring appeal of Lee Childs books and the star power of Tom Cruise, even in movies that don’t get the most positive reception on their initial release. The Jack Reacher movies starring Cruise were criticized for casting the not so Reacher-esque actor in the lead role, but the success of Prime Video’s Reacher series, with the much more accurate Alan Ritchson stepping into the role, has renewed interest in the movie versions.
