In a surprising turn of events, Tom Cruise experienced a rare box office defeat with his film Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. This outcome delighted the creator, Lee Child.
When Cruise was initially cast as the lead character, there was controversy due to his height being much shorter than the character in the book. It is astonishing to think that Cruise got the role over Dwayne Johnson, who is significantly taller.
Despite this, the first film directed by Christopher McQuarrie was a solid thriller that received positive reviews and made a decent profit. However, its sequel, Never Go Back, suffered from a decrease in box office performance and received a 37 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
As a result, any plans for a third film were scrapped, much to the delight of author Child. The property was later rebooted by Prime Video, with the more accurate casting of Alan Ritchson in the lead, leading to the show Reacher being renewed for a second season.
Nevertheless, Cruise remains a draw, and the fact that Never Go Back is now gaining popularity as one of the most-watched titles on Paramount Plus in various countries around the world is a reminder that even in his 60s, he is still a must-watch action star.
