Jack Reacher: Never Go Back review – pecs, punchups and popcorn galore

Tom Cruise rattles through every trope in the book as the vigilante ex-soldier, this time fleeing corrupt bosses in a high-octane sequel that revels in its absurdity

T om Cruise is back in the role of Jack Reacher , badass military cop turned maverick civilian engaged in freelance pro bono asskicking. He is suffused with pimpernel mystery. At the end of an adventure, Reacher will stick his thumb out and hitchhike his way into the night. (At the end of Pulp Fiction, John Travolta is derisive about Samuel L Jackson’s ambition to “walk the earth” like Caine from the TV show Kung Fu on the grounds that he would just be a bum. But maybe he would be like Jack Reacher.)

This is the second in Tom Cruise’s silly, entertaining Reacher franchise, and I was hoping he would marry a woman called Round and go for the double-barrelled surname. Instead, he monkishly refrains from sex but does pull a classic Cruise/Reacher move: semi-undressing in a motel room after a punchup, disclosing pecs which fall impressively on the right side of the moob borderline. An attractive woman also partially disrobes, flaunting a workaday bra strap.

Another Reacher trope is the grumpy solo meal in the scuzzy cafe, which generally comes just before or after the biggest Reacher signature of all: beating the daylights out of five or six bullies whose sneery expressions and close-cropped goatees denote imminent victim status more clearly than red shirts on Star Trek crew. Cruise also gives us his some vintage sprinting — now as distinctive a trait as Nic Cage’s sudden shouting — as well as a bit of free climbing and some Olympic-quality ledge dangling.

The story opens as Reacher has rather sweetly fallen for Lt Susan Turner, just through talking to her on the phone. She is played by Cobie Smulders (who plays Agent Maria Hill in the Avengers films). But when Jack shows up in Washington DC for their blind date, he is informed that Lt Turner has been arrested for espionage. Clearly she is the victim of a shady cover-up from corrupt top brass, and Reacher’s quietly furious demands to know what’s going on are undermined when the army claims he is the subject of a paternity case, and that he is the dad of a stroppy teen, Samantha (Danika Yarosh). Reacher is wrongly accused of murder by the crooked authorities, and in time-honoured style goes on the run, taking his quasi-spouse and daughter, while blowing the lid off a terrible conspiracy.

The highlight of the first movie was its outrageous villain, played by Werner Herzog. I was hoping for a similar auteur bad guy in this one – surely Paul Verhoeven would have been a good sport? Well, there is no juicy high-concept baddie this time around, but there is a lot of enjoyable hokum and cheerful ridiculousness, especially when Reacher has to spring someone from military prison using his trademark combo of resourcefulness and punching. Popcornily preposterous and watchable.

Film Review: ‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’

Tom Cruise reteams with 'The Last Samurai' director Edward Zwick, reprising a character that unwisely forces him to suppress his natural charisma.

For those who never saw 2012’s “ Jack Reacher ,” Tom Cruise played a former Army military police commander who, disillusioned with the job, grabbed his toothbrush and hit the road. In “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,” it’s been ages since Cruise’s character was discharged, but military types keep trying to salute him, and every time someone in uniform calls him by his former rank, “Major Reacher,” he stiffens a little and responds, “ ex -major.”

Cruise has been Hollywood’s top gun for the better part of 30 years, taking no fewer than 17 blockbusters across the $100 million mark in that time. But strike the “Mission: Impossible” series from the charts, and his numbers have been way down in the decade since “War of the Worlds.” (The original “Jack Reacher” made just $80 million, barely half of what “The Firm” earned in 1993.) And while Cruise himself doesn’t seem to age from one film to the next, perhaps it’s time we reclassify the one-time boy wonder as an “ex-major” star.

Yes, he’s kept us entertained as “Mission’s” Ethan Hunt, but in his desperation to generate another franchise, the actor — whose career longevity owes to a savvy understanding of his brand — enlists director Edward Zwick to help him resuscitate the role that suits his appeal least. Zwick excels at epic pageantry; his previous Cruise collaboration, “The Last Samurai,” matched that quality to the star’s persona. But the helmer has never made a flat-out action movie, and he turns out to be shockingly ill-suited for the sort of terse rough-and-tumble that a Jack Reacher outing demands. Christopher McQuarrie, by contrast, managed to wring an impressive car chase, a high-caliber finale, and several other intense set pieces from his meager source material the first time around (his reward: directing Cruise in “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation”). Alas, Zwick barely manages to tickle our adrenaline, waiting till the climactic showdown amid a New Orleans Halloween parade to deliver a sequence that could legitimately register as memorable.

Popular on Variety

Otherwise, Reacher is handily upstaged by the other characters here, most notably his 20-years-younger replacement, Maj. Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders, terrific), who looks like a cross between “The Matrix’s” Trinity and Demi Moore in “A Few Good Men,” and who suffers none of the limits on her own personality wattage.

Immediately following a cold-opening reminder of how Reacher deals with corruption among those in positions of authority, the film softens its drifter protagonist ever so slightly via a series of half-flirty phone calls between him and Turner, in which Reacher promises to look her up in the event that he ever makes it to Washington, D.C. But when he arrives in the nation’s capital, in the very next scene, he learns that Turner has been relieved of her position and court-martialed for treason three days prior. More surprising still, he discovers a surprising detail about his own past: Evidently, an ex-prostitute has filed a paternity claim against him, alleging he’s the father of her now-15-year-old daughter Samantha (Danika Yarosh). And since we know so little about Reacher, there’s no way to assess whether or not the claim is true, except to bring her along.

Indeed, one of the things that makes the character so appealing to his fans is that he has no attachments — he’s an avenging conscience without the Achilles’ heel of socialization. Give him a child, however, and things could quickly devolve into the sort of manipulative melodrama that befell fellow tough guy Jack Bauer anytime his daughter Kim turned up on “24.”

Let’s not forget that Zwick and longtime collaborator Marshall Herskovitz got their start writing for television, which seems to be the primary influence on this strangely uncinematic action movie. Though framed in widescreen and lensed by Oliver Wood (DP on the first three Bourne movies), “Never Go Back” displays none of the style or audacity that lenser Caleb Deschanel brought to the earlier installment. The sequel looks almost grimy by comparison, relying overly on closeups of a star whose range of expressiveness has been limited to two signature moves: a meaningful jaw clench or a well-time narrowing of the eyes. Cruise can still be counted on to frequently sprint on-camera, but here he comes across as a shadow of the star we’ve known him to be.

“TOM CRUISE is JACK REACHER,” read the ads for the 2012 film, and yet, a more accurate description might have been, “TOM CRUISE pretends to be JACK REACHER.” The character that was an awkward fit for the actor four years ago seems to be even more so now, if only because Cruise’s greatest asset is his charisma, while Reacher is a stoic, stone-cold heavy. From Bond to Bourne, such action heroes have become the cliché these days, showing an almost sociopathic lack of feeling as they go about their efficient ultraviolence. But Cruise, who always seems to be half-smiling in everything else he does, seems far too serious in the role, leaving room for the ladies, Smulders and Yarosh, to steal the show.

Better to leave the ruthlessness to the villain, a mercenary hit man (Patrick Heusinger) hired by a corrupt military contractor. The whole mess began with the deaths of two soldiers under Turner’s command — deaths for which she is being held accountable — and as the mystery unfolds, we learn that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and that anyone who catches wind of the massive conspiracy, including Turner and Reacher, ends up in the hit man’s cross-hairs. The fact that the scenes are set in three of the most tired action-movie venues imaginable — a kitchen, a warehouse, and a shipping dock— just goes to show the sequel’ lack of inspiration. Even the New Orleans finale is technically a rehash of something James Bond went through in 1973’s “Live and Let Die,” and again, as recently as the superior rooftop opening of last year’s “Spectre.” Cruise and company should have taken their own advice: Never go back.

‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’ Review: Tom Cruise Returns and He’s Mad as Hell

By Peter Travers

Peter Travers

Tom Cruise , putting a dimmer on his mega-watt smile, is back busting heads in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, once again playing the ex-military-cop-turned-road-warrior in defense of the disenfranchised. Critics were snotty four years ago when Cruise first played Reacher, because the 5’7″ actor is the physical opposite of the six-five, 250-pound bruiser that crime novelist Lee Child created on the page. Get over it. The admirably defiant star, still a force of nature at 54, brings his own agility and quick wit to the role.

Besides, the haters are missing the point. Never Go Back is the 18th Reacher novel (the 21st will be out in November). So ask yourself why 100 million readers and counting are willing to buy into the adventures a homeless drifter with only a toothbrush to his name, who hitchhikes across a broken America looking for justice he can’t get from institutions or politicians? Oh, I don’t know. Have you watched the presidential debates? This is a character with resonance for our time. The more pertinent question is: How well does the movie run with that idea?

Never Go Back comes closer to nailing that concept than its predecessor, though it’s marching orders are still to deliver a fun, action-plus ride. Edward Zwick, who worked with Cruise on 2003’s The Last Samurai, replaces Christopher McQuarrie in the director’s chair and keeps the mayhem going gangbusters – or at least enough to cover up the plot holes in the scrip, written by Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz and Richard Wenk. The Cruise-Zwick reunion makes sense since Reacher (nobody calls him Jack) is every inch the modern samurai. Knocking heads with power has soured the former military man on playing nice with others. And yet here he is going back to his old D.C. office to meet his replacement, Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders). Why? He likes the sound of her voice on the phone. If only Donald Trump were that romantic.

Lickety-split, which is the only way this movie likes it, Reacher learns that Turner has been arrested for espionage and that he’s wanted for both a 16-year-old murder and knocking up a waitress who’s hit him with a paternity suit. Not our guy. Naturally, he breaks Turner out of prison and they’re off on a series of narrow escapes to expose the baddies. The villains – Patrick Heusinger as the Hunter; Robert Knepper as power-mad General Harkness – are disappointingly generic. But it’s the corrupt system that Reacher wants to nail to the wall. Smulders is a livewire as our hero’s sparring partner, but she still believes in the rules repped by her uniform. Danika Yarosh, a teen firebrand as Reacher’s maybe daughter, forms a stronger connection.

So ... What Happens if Trump Is Convicted in His Hush-Money Case?

Nikki haley writes ‘finish them’ on israeli bomb after refugee massacre, grateful dead honor bill walton: ‘biggest deadhead in the world’, bill walton's long, strange trip with the grateful dead, editor’s picks, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

Zwick pulls out all the stops with shootouts and chases, especially in a climactic battle during a New Orleans Halloween parade. But it’s the character-based scenes that put meat on the bones of a popcorn movie that could have slid by on pulp escapism. 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.

Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, great movies, chaz's journal, contributors, jack reacher: never go back.

Now streaming on:

Jack Reacher ( Tom Cruise ) isn’t a talky fellow. He’s a loner with no middle name and no fixed address. He lives in fleabag motels, gets around by hitchhiking, and tends to communicate with his fists, though only after repeated warnings have failed. He is not, to put it mildly, father or husband material.

So of course “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,” based on Lee Child ’s novel, has the bright idea of outfitting Jack with a makeshift nuclear family consisting of a female Army major, Susan Turner ( Cobie Smulders ), who’s had a bloody conspiracy wrongly pinned on her, and a teenage girl named Samantha Dayton ( Danika Yarosh ), who might or might not be Jack’s daughter by a previous dalliance. This is the kind of setup that Clint Eastwood might’ve handled with aplomb back in the day—in fact, Eastwood’s early masterpiece " The Outlaw Josey Wales ," tells a thematically similar story about a loner who acquires a "family"—and although Cruise is diminutive compared to Eastwood, he does a credible version of Clint’s squint and hair-trigger lethality. His performance tries to delve deeper than the film will allow. We get a sense, more from watching Cruise than from any of the forgettable dialogue the character’s been given, that Jack inflicts violence because it’s the only thing he’s really good at; that it may in fact be his only form of cowardice—a means of running away from adult responsibilities—and that he has no idea what to say to a romantic partner or a child during quiet moments.

It’s a pity that “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” fails to support Cruise and his co-stars, all of whom are acting as if their lives depended on it. There’s a great movie buried somewhere in here—a strange but beguiling family comedy and a meditation on nature vs. nurture, with a bit of shooting and punching thrown in—but the filmmakers never figure out how to excavate it. There’s a touch of 1980s Hong Kong action cinema in the way that director Edward Zwick and his co-writer Marshall Herskovitz (rewriting Richard Wenk ’s script) juxtapose bone-breaking fisticuffs with deadpan-goofy scenes where Jack and Susan—who’s basically a female Jack, with the same anger-flexing jawline—struggle to protect and half-assedly parent Samantha as the trio runs from city to city, fending off assassins and trying to clear Susan’s name. But Zwick doesn’t have the Hong Kong wildness required to pull off that kind of film. He’s an intelligent director, but too earnest and careful for material like this.

There are a handful of genuinely funny moments in which Jack, Susan and Samantha—a street-tough kid whose mom was a prostitute and drug addict—fall into the familiar “Father Knows Best” patterns even though they’re holed up in a New Orleans hotel while trying to get to the bottom of an Afghanistan-based arms smuggling operation run by a Halliburton-type military contractor. None of them have experience behaving within a traditional mother-father-child configuration, so they’re a bit like actors who’ve been thrown into a play without the benefit of having read the script and are forced to improvise. Badly. Susan and Samantha’s version of mother-daughter bonding includes a tutorial on how to wrench a gun from a man’s hands and kick him in the testicles. When Samantha sneaks out without permission one night, Jack and Susan confront her when she returns, and Jack half-sputters, “Where were you?”

The sight of two skull-cracking soldiers failing to control a teenage girl is a good joke, and remarkably, it never gets old. Unfortunately, it never becomes something other than a joke, or an undeveloped notion. The movie is filled with undeveloped notions, as well as scenes that might’ve been dazzling, or at least clever, if Zwick and Herskovitz had been able to settle on a tone and a vision and develop them. Instead they march along with mild enthusiasm but no gusto, alternating dry-but-not-dry-enough comedy with action scenes that are competently executed but nowhere near as inventive and stirringly perverse as the best stuff in the original “Jack Reacher,” a likewise pretty-good military conspiracy thriller enlivened by Cruise’s junkyard dog sourness, a campy villain performance by Werner Herzog (who has no equivalent here, alas) and a couple of brilliantly staged close-quarters fights.

Zwick (who has told many military-themed stories, including “ Courage Under Fire ” and “ Glory ”) and Herskovitz (who teamed with Zwick on a series of great domestic dramas for TV, the best of which was “My So-Called Life”) can’t seem to decide if they want to lightly parody the subgenre of “burned-out killer rejuvenated by love” or embrace it without apology, even if it means alienating fanboys who are uncomfortable with any display of emotion that doesn’t involve Cap and Bucky. This confusion manifests itself in the film’s penultimate scene, a fated goodbye between Jack and Samantha that might’ve been heartbreaking had the filmmakers ended it thirty seconds earlier.

Cruise does some of his career-best acting in this scene; you can see Jack struggling to make his face and voice do what any natural father’s would do automatically, and failing miserably, because he’s either not wired that way or lacks the life experience required to fake it. There are moments where Cruise’s work here evokes Kurt Russell in “Soldier,” which is one of the best lead performances I’ve seen in a movie that was just barely OK. There’s fine supporting work by Aldis Hodge as a military police officer, Holt McCallany as an officer who’s up to no good, and Patrick Heusinger as an assassin who’s known only as The Hunter, and whose black trenchcoats and hipster facial hair suggest a Eurotrash cousin of Ryan Gosling . Smulders has a number of strong moments, too—and she drives home the idea of Susan as a female Jack by delivering stinging rebukes in a very Cruise-y “ A Few Good Men ” cadence—but she, too, is left to wander between the winds. There is nothing terrible about this film, yet it fails everyone involved with it. That’s the kind of magic trick that you don’t want to see.

Tom Cruise returns in 'Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,' the sequel based on Lee Child's books about a wrong-righting former military police commander.

If there had been any doubt, the tepid Jack Reacher: Never Go Back firmly establishes the adaptations of Lee Child’s books about a wrong-righting former military police commander as Tom Cruise ‘s B-unit action film series at Paramount , compared with his ongoing luxury-brand Mission: Impossible franchise.

By-the-numbers plotting, seen-it-all-before action moves, banal locations and a largely anonymous cast alongside the star give this a low-rent feel. The initial entry opened to $15.2 million on its first weekend four Decembers ago, on its way to a $218 million worldwide haul, and the follow-up can be expected to land in the same ballpark.

Based on the 18th of Child’s 20 Reacher best-sellers, the film serves up nothing that hasn’t been seen in countless action films before, and it’s striking how little effort appears to have been made to give it any distinction: The villains are military guys gone rogue, the female lead is basically fighting the same fight Rosalind Russell did to be recognized for her equal worth among men in His Girl Friday more than 75 years ago, the hand-to-hand combat won’t make anyone’s highlight reel and even the star looks a bit pale and out of training compared with the shape he invariably gets himself into for the far more elaborate and fun Mission outings.

The film also marks quite a step down, in both ambition and accomplishment, from Cruise and director Edward Zwick’s previous collaboration on The Last Samurai 16 years ago. It’s even a notable drop-off from the first Reacher feature, which brandished some decent mystery-thriller elements, a very good and realistic car chase, Rosamund Pike in the female lead, juicy supporting turns by Robert Duvall and Werner Herzog and fine Caleb Deschanel cinematography.

'Jack Reacher 2' Teaser: Tom Cruise Returns to Help Cobie Smulders

The one element that puts a smidgen of snap in the proceedings is something resembling a rivalry between Reacher and Susan in which the latter introduces the gender issue. Unfortunately, neither the screenwriters nor the actors know quite where they want to take this little skirmish of the sexes (not very far, obviously), nor do they have the flair to handle it in a witty fashion, which leaves the matter just sitting out there on a limb.

For an actor who usually seems all-in no matter what he’s doing, Cruise comes off as somewhat less engaged than usual here, just going through the motions compared to, certainly, his last Mission: Impossible outing. Committed most noticeably to the physical side of her performance, Smulders can’t or won’t offer up the humor that might have struck some sparks with her co-star, while Yarosh, sidelined through much of the New Orleans interlude, doesn’t have much real to work with as the fraught would-be daughter.

Undistinguished visually, this marks a return to the old days, when sequels were almost always markedly inferior to originals that spawned them.

Although fans had become accustomed to seeing Tom Cruise in action as agent Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible movies , the actor took another action role detour from that franchise for the refreshing Jack Reacher. The first film debuted in 2012 and was based on the character book series from author Lee Childs. Reacher is a former Military Police Officer who chooses to wander the U.S. while taking on odd jobs and dangerous investigations.

The first Reacher film, based on Lee's One Shot novel, did well enough to warrant a sequel. But 2016's Jack Reacher: Never Go Back stands as the end of Reacher as far as film goes. Childs told Deadline in 2018 that Reacher's next onscreen adventures would happen on the small screen instead of the big one, and that the role of Reacher would be recast.

That might seem like a shame to Cruise fans, but it makes sense given the mixed response Jack Reacher: Never Go Back received. The film's plot threw out a lot of twists to audiences much like the novel it's based on. If you found yourself a bit confused by the ending, here's a bit of a refresher to catch you up before the Jack Reacher TV series arrives.

Does Reacher become a fugitive and father?

In Jack Reacher: Never Go Back , Reacher becomes embroiled in a major military conspiracy . His cohort, Major Susan Turner, is framed for murder by a major military weapons contractor called Parasource. Soon Reacher is, too. Reacher and Turner spend a lot of time avoiding the contractor's assassins, headed by the dangerous figure known as The Hunter. Reacher is also forced to deal with the prospect of potentially being a father, thanks to a paternity suit against him. His alleged daughter Samantha figures out when Reacher shadows her at some point, and has a knack for sneaking cell phones and stealing credit cards. Her actions keep everyone guessing if she really could be his daughter.

With Reacher, Turner, and Sam together on the run for much of the film, the conclusion answers all burning questions. For one, the major conspiracy Parasource framed Reacher and Turner to cover is revealed: the company was selling weapons to insurgents and smuggling opium into the United States. Reacher and The Hunter have a climactic hand-to-hand battle via rooftop that leaves the Reacher's assassin defeated with a broken neck. And it turns out that Reacher isn't really the father of Sam, as her biological mother doesn't even recognize him.

Before the credits roll, the bad guys are arrested, Turner returns to her job, and Reacher is hitchhiking to his next adventure.

There will be no Jack Reacher 3

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back was adapted from Lee's 18th Reacher novel, Never Go Back . And most of the major plot points in the novel were the same as its adaptation. However while publications like The New York Times reviewed Lee's original novel as "well-plotted," the film adaptation's plot was heavily criticized. Many critical takes, like from the Hollywood Reporter , complained that it's plot was too formulaic. Perhaps the reason for this difference is that at 466 pages, Never Go Back's twist and turns had more breathing room for an audience to navigate. The film adaptation condenses a lot. In any case, the mixed reception to the film sequel threw a wrench into plans for an immediate Jack Reacher 3 .

However, last year during a podcast interview in Empire Magazine , director Christopher McQuarrie revealed that had the film series continued , it would have gone for an R-rated experience that leaned more into the books' gritty and brutal vibes. The director hinted that while that might not happen for Reacher as a film now, he and Tom Cruise still plan to take on a darker action thriller project.

"It's a very un-Tom character, and we have plans for an even more un-Tom character that we've been talking about, which I'm hopeful about in the future," McQuarrie said. "The franchise has moved on, and we haven't. So we've now got stuff in the hopper. The [Jack Reacher] stuff we're talking about now is tinker toys [compared to it], I'm actually very, very excited."

As for Reacher, the series will find new life as a rebooted Amazon Prime series that, according to BlogTO , will star actor Alan Ritchson. Amazon's show has already begun filming in Toronto.

Less of a movie than it is a monotonous two-hour supercut of Tom Cruise elbowing people in the face, “Jack Reacher: Never Stop Never Reaching” (editor’s note: not the actual title) is a relentlessly generic star vehicle that’s been stripped down to nothing but an old engine and a rusty chassis. The jalopy still runs, of course — and not just because Cruise is now blatantly using Hollywood to subsidize his cardio routine — but it can be a pretty bumpy ride when you road-test it without luxuries like a coherent plot, compelling set pieces, or any clear reason to exist.

Adapted from the 18th novel in Lee Childs’ seemingly endless series of disposable paperback thrillers (and boy does it feel like it), “Never Go Back” is technically a sequel to 2012’s “Jack Reacher,” but the only thing they have in common are a brand, an icon, and a penchant for the practical, bare-knuckled carnage that action cinema of the digital age has largely retired in favor of plastic cartoon violence. Christopher McQuarrie has been replaced in the director’s chair by Ed “The Last Samurai” Zwick, who has fittingly re-teamed with Cruise for a movie about a modern-day ronin who drifts across the country in search of fresh necks to break. Dishonorably discharged from his position as a Major in the United States Army Military Police Corps, Reacher has reinvented himself as a blue-collar Jason Bourne who has no trouble remembering who he is and what he wants (spoiler alert: He wants to break necks).

Ostensibly a story about how difficult it is for soldiers to readjust to the civilian world, “Never Go Back” begins with Reacher phone-stalking Susan Turner ( Cobie Smulders ), the woman who’s inherited his old job at the USAMPC. Reacher likes the sound of her voice or something, and — with no more necks to break in his immediate vicinity — he decides to hitchhike to D.C. and doorstop her at her government office, because that’s how women like to be wooed by quasi-mythical killing machines who live off the grid and always seem to leave a pile of bodies in their wake. For what it’s worth, Reacher is right to think they might have a connection, as Susan is a hard-bodied hard-ass who can be every bit as intense as her male colleagues, and has surely had to be in order to endure years of everyday sexism.

But when Reacher shows up at Susan’s door, he learns that she’s been thrown into military prison on accusations of espionage (something about Afghanistan; it really doesn’t matter). Reacher, sensing a golden opportunity to murder some anonymous henchmen, gets himself arrested, breaks Susan out of jail, and begins a mission to prove her innocence by identifying the bad guys. There’s also some business about a blonde tween named Samantha (Danika Yarosh) who might be Reacher’s long-lost daughter, and threatens to tie an anchor around the perpetual wanderer. Samantha creates a surrogate family between Susan and Reacher, leading to a few mildly amusing scenes once the trio follow a lead down south and the film settles into New Orleans, but the character only exists to fix the fundamental problem of the “Jack Reacher” franchise: The stories are never about him — he’s always just passing through, trying to fix someone else’s problem. At the end of the day, the most interesting thing about Samantha is that she sounds exactly like Anna Paquin — it’s uncanny.

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher in Never Go Back

“ Jack Reacher: Never Go Back “

The action here isn’t enough to return the focus to Reacher, as Zwick fails to arrange any memorable sequences for his hero to punch his way through — a climactic fight set against the Big Easy’s Krewe of Boo parade is as close as he gets, but it can’t help but feel like a pale imitation of the majestic cold open from “Spectre.” Still, it’s refreshing to see a film of this kind so emphatically privilege bone-crunching fisticuffs over the usual ejaculations of gunfire (Reacher doesn’t actually fire a gun for over an hour). And sometimes, when Zwick is feeling extra frisky, we’re even treated to Reacher-Vision™, a warped first-person mode in which our hero has a precognitive vision of all the bones he’s about to snap.

Of course, it would be so much more satisfying if Reacher came across anyone with bones worth snapping. Remember how much fun it was when Werner Herzog showed up in the first one as a heavily accented gang leader who only survived his time in the Soviet Gulag by eating his own fingers or something? The mind reels when trying to imagine what other major directors could moonlight as scenery-chewing monsters: David Cronenberg as the head of a human trafficking ring? Terry Gilliam as the general of a rogue militia that uses blood diamonds to fund its nuclear ambitions? Lars von Trier as himself? No, the villain in “Never Go Back” is played by Patrick Heusinger, who filmgoers might recognize as the investment banker boyfriend from “Frances Ha.” Scary. His character doesn’t have a backstory or even a name (the credits refer to him as “The Hunter”), only a black leather jacket and some well-maintained scruff.

Truth be told, Philip Seymour Hoffman was the only actor who’s ever been able to make one of Cruise’s humanoid action figures seem genuinely vulnerable, but if Heusinger’s bargain-bin baddie were any more boring he could be be the villain of a Marvel movie. It’s an especially egregious problem because so much of the film harkens back to the golden age of psychotic action movie antagonists: the ’90s. Not only does someone say the word “Dickhead,” not only do Reacher and Susan visit an internet cafe, but — wait for it — one of The Hunter’s chief henchmen have bleached blond hair. It’s enough to conjure memories of John Malkovich in “Con Air.” Gary Oldman in “The Professional.” John Travolta and Nicolas Cage in “Face/Off.” Those were the days, the days when the characters were too weird (and the stakes were too high) for films like this to be confused for a very special episode of “NCIS.”

As it stands, Cruise’s undeniable star power is all that keeps “Never Go Back” from feeling like it came off a studio assembly line, though you’ll still spend most of the movie wondering if you’ve been swindled into watching a movie about Ethan Hunt’s luddite twin brother. In fact, Jack Reacher’s only compelling antagonist might be the actor who plays him. Cruise is so eminently watchable that, on the strength of centrifugal force alone, he can get away with playing a type instead of a character. But we know that he’s capable of running faster, of climbing higher, and of putting his intensity to use in more exciting ways — Jack Reacher is only slowing him down.

“Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” opens in theaters on Friday, October 21st.

12 Things You Might Not Know About Tom Cruise

By jake rossen | 8:01 am edt.

Defining movie star is somewhat subjective. If it’s a combination of charisma, audience interest, and box office success, then one of the few performers that continue to meet the definition is Tom Cruise. The actor, who has been on screens for over 40 years, regularly makes movies that are considered appointment viewing in theaters even in the era of streaming. His Mission: Impossible series alone has brought in over $1.3 billion domestically.

Part of Cruise’s appeal is his enigmatic public persona. He rarely lets his guard down, preferring to let his work speak for him. Nonetheless, there’s still plenty to know about his life and career.

Tom Cruise started doing stunts early on.

He was a pretty good high school wrestler., cruise auditioned for risky business with a chipped tooth., he didn’t love cocktail ., cruise directed an episode of television., cruise took heat for two adaptations., cruise could have been in the shawshank redemption ., cruise was involved in one of the longest film shoots of all time., he has a cousin who is also an actor., cruise rescued multiple people from maritime disaster., he asked to be included in a photo with some famous directors., cruise gifts colleagues with hundreds of holiday cakes..

Born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, Cruise seemed to be drawn to physical activity and danger from an early age. In 2022, the actor recalled that when he was around 4 years old, he thought it would be a good idea to jump off the roof of his childhood home while using a sheet as a parachute. "It’s that moment when you jump off the roof and you go, ‘This is not gonna work,’” he said. “’This is terrible. I’m gonna die.’ And I hit the ground so hard. Luckily, it was wet … And I saw stars in the daytime for the first time, and I remember looking up, going, ‘This is very interesting.’”

Cruise’s mother, Mary, separated from his father, Tom Senior, in 1976, when Cruise was 14. (The actor would later allege that Senior had been abusive toward him.) The family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, and Cruise also spent some time in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he briefly considered becoming a Franciscan priest. Eventually, he rejoined his family and they settled in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, where he joined the varsity high school wrestling team as a junior and senior. During the 1979-1980 year, the team went 14-4-1.

The wrestling may have indirectly played a role in his career choice. After a leg injury prevented him from continuing, he decided to investigate acting and signed up for a role in a school production of Guys and Dolls . “All of a sudden, I felt like I knew what I was doing,” he said in 1983. “And I got all this attention, and it just felt right. So I came to New York. I wanted to try [acting].”

In 1981, Cruise appeared in a small role in Endless Love and as a military cadet in Taps . Two years later, he appeared in the teen sex comedy Losin’ It and the football drama All the Right Moves . Cruise also scored a role as a street punk in The Outsiders . It was during filming of The Outsiders that Cruise auditioned for Risky Business , which cast him as a preppy kid who runs amok when his parents leave town. “I told them, ‘I can't afford to tamper with my Outsiders character because I have to work tonight,’” he said in 1983. “’I can't take a shower, even.’ I was all greasy, had a chipped tooth and a tattoo, and an Okie drawl. And they cast me for this clean-cut boy.”

Risky Business was considered Cruise's true breakout role. It also made Cruise synonymous with Ray-Ban sunglasses, which he later wore to great effect in 1986’s Top Gun .

The mid- to late-1980s was a period where Cruise was able to demonstrate his dramatic chops with prestige directors in films like 1985's Legend (Ridley Scott), 1986’s The Color of Money (Martin Scorsese), 1988’s Rain Man (Barry Levinson), and 1989’s Born on the Fourth of July (Oliver Stone). In the middle of this impressive run came Cocktail (1988), a relatively lightweight drama about a bartender who relocates to Jamaica. It was “not a crowning jewel,” he told Rolling Stone in 1992. The film earned a Golden Raspberry Award, or “Razzie,” for Worst Picture, the same year that Rain Man won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Given his collaborative nature and intense interest in filmmaking, it’s somewhat surprising Cruise has yet to helm a feature film. But he has gotten behind the camera. In 1993, Cruise directed an episode of the Showtime series Fallen Angels , an anthology set largely in 1940s and 1950s Los Angeles. In the episode, titled “The Frightening Frammis,” a con man (Peter Gallagher) has the misfortune to cross paths with a femme fatale named Babe (Isabella Rosellini). The series was produced by Sydney Pollack, who had just directed Cruise in the 1993 film The Firm .

When Cruise was cast as the vampire Lestat in 1994’s Interview With the Vampire , the book’s author, Anne Rice, was a vocal critic, saying she preferred someone like Daniel Day-Lewis for the role. After seeing Cruise in the part, Rice changed her mind, calling him “wonderful.” Cruise had a similar experience in 2012’s Jack Reacher , where fans of the Lee Child book series found him smaller in stature compared to Child’s towering protagonist. The film did well, however, meriting a 2016 sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back .

The list of movies Cruise has been offered (or at least had discussions about doing) is long, and the list of movies he’s turned down is likely even longer. Among them: Footloose , Edward Scissorhands , and The Shawshank Redemption . Director and writer Frank Darabont, who adapted the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption for the screen in 1994, said that producer Rob Reiner offered to acquire the script so he could direct and his A Few Good Men star Cruise could step into the role of Andy Dufresne. Darabont was tempted, but ultimately decided to make the movie himself. He cast Tim Robbins as Dufresne.

Cruise and then-wife Nicole Kidman agreed to star in director Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut , which examines the complicated marriage of a young couple tempted by forces outside their union. Kubrick ( 2001: A Space Odyssey ), a notorious perfectionist, shot the film for an astounding 15 months, far beyond the typical four- to six-month shoot of many films. Guinness World Records recognizes it as the longest continuous production in cinema history. (Interrupted shoots are a different story: Richard Linklater’s coming-of-age drama Boyhood shot for 39 days over a window spanning from 2002 to 2013.)

Eyes Wide Shut was met with a tepid reception, though it proved bountiful for Cruise. While on set, he met with director Paul Thomas Anderson, who cast him as a motivational speaker in 1999’s Magnolia . That part earned Cruise an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He had previously been nominated for Born on the Fourth of July and for Jerry Maguire (1996), though he has yet to win.

Cruise wasn’t the only member of his family to get into acting. His fraternal cousin, William Mapother, is also in the business and has shared several of Cruise’s film sets. Mapother was a production assistant before getting parts in Magnolia (1999) and in 2002’s Minority Report , playing a desk clerk who is threatened by Cruise’s distressed protagonist. Mapother might be best known as Ethan Rom, a character of dubious intentions on ABC’s drama Lost .

In 1996, Cruise and then-wife Nicole Kidman were aboard a yacht near Capri, Italy, when they came upon a family floating in a lifeboat whose own yacht had caught on fire. They climbed aboard Cruise’s vessel until the Coast Guard arrived.

A decade prior, it was Cruise himself who needed a hand. While filming Top Gun , he was dragged underwater by parachute lines. According to United Press International, Navy swim school instructors rushed to pull him out.

Shooting The Last Samurai with Cruise in 2003, director Ed Zwick was surprised to see several A-list directors dropping by the set to see Cruise. When the actor learned that David Fincher ( Fight Club ), Cameron Crowe (who directed Cruise in Jerry Maguire ), and others posed for a group photo with Zwick while he was busy, he asked that he be retroactively placed in the image.

To work with Tom Cruise is to risk being sent a cake every holiday for the rest of your life. (Or his.) Each year, the actor orders white chocolate coconut Bundt cakes from Doan’s Bakery in Los Angeles and has them sent to a list of recipients, including former co-stars. According to former talk show host James Corden, Cruise himself has never tried the cake. (Other stories, however, have him tasting it as part of a “cake-off” while Cruise’s then-wife Katie Holmes and Diane Keaton were making a film together in 2008. The cake was reportedly Keaton’s favorite.)

How Much Bigger Olivier Richters Paulie Is Compared To Alan Ritchsons Reacher

Reacher season 3 has cast Dutch bodybuilder Olivier Richters as Paulie.
Richters is seven feet and two inches tall, nearly a foot taller than star Alan Ritchson.
Paulie will pose a very credible threat to Jack Reacher in the new season.

Reacher 's new character gives Alan Ritchson a run for his money in the height department. The Prime Video series is based on the book series by Lee Child, which follows a former military police major turned drifter as he roams the country helping various people in need. Although the character in the novels is six feet and five inches tall, when they were first adapted to live-action in the 2012 movie Jack Reacher and its 2014 sequel Never Go Back , the five-foot-seven Tom Cruise was cast in the title role.

When the Prime Video show debuted in 2022, one of its most notable changes was returning the character to his original towering height on the page by casting the six-foot-three Ritchson. However, the character may be meeting his match in the upcoming Reacher season 3 , which is adapting the 2003 novel Persuader . Notably tall Dutch bodybuilder Olivier Richters has been cast opposite Ritchson in the new season, playing Paulie, a possibly unstable bodyguard who works for the rich Zachary Beck (Anthony Michael Hall).

Olivier Richters Is Nearly A Foot Taller Than Alan Ritchson's Reacher

The incoming actor is more than seven feet tall.

Incoming Reacher cast member Olivier Richters is seven feet and two inches tall , a stature that has earned him the moniker "The Dutch Giant." Although Ritchson's Jack typically towers over the other characters around him, using his size and strength to bowl over enemies, Richters stretches an additional 11 inches above his already considerable height. Below, see how Ritchson and Richters' heights compare to the reported heights of the entire confirmed cast for season 3, which also includes the famously tall Hall:

Although not every cast member's height is known at the time of writing, Richters easily outstrips them all . This isn't entirely surprising, considering how much taller he is than Ritchson, who is usually the tallest member of the cast of any season of the show. In the case of Richters' co-star Sonya Cassidy, who plays Agent Duffy, the Dutch Giant is a full 19 inches taller than her. This is the same difference in height as that between Ritchson and the average 10-year-old.

Why Olivier Richters' Size Is Such A Big Deal For Reacher Season 3

His threat to jack reacher is more than just physical.

Size has been a key element of the latest Lee Child adaptation from the very beginning, honoring the original Jack Reacher books . The show presenting a character who is even bigger than its lead hero is a major development that will provide him with more of a physical challenge than he's ever had before. This is something that will be immediately apparent when the show's visual schema immediately shifts away from having Reacher himself be the tallest person in the room when the new season begins. This will occur even before it becomes apparent whether Paulie is a direct threat.

However, Paulie will pose an existential threat to Jack Reacher in addition to a physical one, as the hero will have to completely reconfigure his typical approach to problem-solving. This will force him to reconsider his own character and possibly alter his view of himself as he reevalutates his strongest assets and how best to wield them when facing off against this new enemy. This will provide the perfect character-based material to amplify the narrative of Persuader , which features a slightly more low-stakes plot than the previous novels that the show has adapted.

Where You Know Paulie's Actor Olivier Richters From

The incoming reacher star has appeared in several prominent projects.

Reacher is going to provide Richters with one of his biggest roles yet. Because he did not begin his career as an actor, he does not have a particularly long resume at the time of writing. In fact, he only has three credits from before 2018 , with those being entirely in European television and film projects. However, in spite of the fact that his English-language roles have largely been minor supporting performances, he has taken on a number of huge, well-known projects in recent years. Below, see a breakdown of some of Richters' most prominent roles:

Perhaps naturally, considering his size, Richters' early roles have been quite similar to that of Paulie . They have largely been performances as supporting antagonists who are either the muscle for the primary villain or massive bruisers who present a challenge to the main character as they progress forward through their adventures. However, his prominence increased in 2021 when he played supporting roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe outing Black Widow and the Matthew Vaughn spy movie prequel The King's Man .

In Black Widow , Richters played Ursa (a Russian mutant in the original Marvel comics) and is briefly seen arm-wrestling with David Harbour's Red Guardian before he is broken out of prison.

He followed 2021 with one of his most prominent roles yet, starring opposite Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny as the intimidating Hauke, a prominent henchman of the villain Voller (Mads Mikkelsen). Before the release of Reacher season 3, he will also be seen playing the role of Krom in the upcoming video game adaptation Borderlands . He is part of an A-list cast that also includes Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Jamie Lee Curtis, giving him yet another opportunity to raise his profile before taking on a bigger role in the Prime Video show.

Why Paulie Is The Villain Reacher Season 3 Needs

Olivier richters is playing a new kind of reacher villain.

The new Reacher season 3 villain is following the lead of the show's previous villains in one major way. That would be the fact that he is not directly connected to the plots that were involved in seasons 1 and 2. The show features very few recurring stars beyond Ritchson himself, instead opting to follow the anthology format of the novels and surround the character with a new supporting cast facing their own problems in each new season.

The sheer power of Paulie... will raise the stakes of the new season considerably.

However, there is a major way that Paulie will be different. As much as his size will potentially shake up Reacher's view of himself, Paulie's presence will also help shake up the season itself. Reacher season 2 featured villains who were too easily thwarted by the character alongside the 110th Special Investigations Unit, spending a lot of time on setup for a payoff that ultimately came off slightly anticlimactic. The sheer power of Paulie, supporting whichever other antagonist characters may come out of the woodwork, will raise the stakes of the new season considerably.

Produced by Amazon Prime Video, Reacher adapts Lee Child's Jack Reacher book series to live-action. The series follows veteran Military Police Officer Jack Reacher as he unravels a dangerous conspiracy in the fictional town of Margrave, Georgia. Played by the towering Alan Ritchson, the titular hero collaborates with officer Roscoe Conklin (Willa Fitzgerald) and Chief Detective Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) to clean his name and save Margrave from crime and corruption.

Netflix : pourquoi vous ne verrez jamais Jack Reacher 3 avec Tom Cruise

Alors que les films "Jack Reacher" et "Jack Reacher : Never Go Back" s'apprêtent à quitter le catalogue de Netflix, une cruelle question se pose : pourquoi n'y a-t-il pas de troisième film ?

Tom Cruise a incarné quelques personnages emblématiques au cours de sa carrière. L'un d'entre eux est Jack Reacher. Il a campé ce personnage dans deux films, Jack Reacher de Christopher McQuarrie et Jack Reacher : Never Go Back d'Edward Zwick. Mais même si un troisième film se profilait à l'horizon, le projet a coulé.

Pour beaucoup, Tom Cruise n'était pas le meilleur candidat pour incarner Jack Reacher. Mais qui devrait l'incarner ? La question ne se pose plus depuis que Prime Video a lancé sa série Reacher avec Alan Ritchson dans le rôle-titre. Quoi qu'il en soit, la principale chose à retenir est que la franchise ne reviendra pas au cinéma. Voici pourquoi Tom Cruise ne reprendra pas le rôle de Jack Reacher.

Un troisième volet en développement en 2020...

Tom Cruise et Christopher McQuarrie forment un véritable duo d'acteur-réalisateur ces dernières années. Ils ont d'abord travaillé ensemble sur Walkyrie (2008), dont McQuarrie a écrit le scénario. Après avoir écrit pour d'autres projets de Cruise, il a réalisé Jack Reacher. Il a ensuite pris en charge les films Mission : Impossible à partir de Rogue Nation , en conjuguant reconnaissance critique et succès au box-office.

Il a également coécrit et coproduit Top Gun : Maverick , le plus gros succès de Tom Cruise. Lors d'une interview avec Empire en 2020, le réalisateur a révélé que " Tom et moi parlions de la possibilité, si la franchise avait continué, d'amener Reacher à un endroit où, dans le monde post-Deadpool, post-Joker, Reacher aurait pu être un film classé R (interdit aux moins de 17 ans aux USA, ndlr) et une franchise classée R, et aurait pu vraiment s'inspirer de la brutalité de ces livres. Nous étions tout à fait prêts à nous engager dans cette voie ".

... pas près d'arriver !

Il a aussi confié que si la franchise Reacher était passée à autre chose, " pas eux ". S'il est rare qu'une franchise cinématographique et une franchise télé coexistent, ce n'est pas inédit, à l'instar de The Equalizer avec Denzel Washington au cinéma et Queen Latifah en série. Un Reacher classé R dirigé par McQuarrie serait probablement accueilli à bras ouverts, mais il est peu probable que cela se produise maintenant.

Le duo a été monopolisé par le dernier diptyque de Mission : Impossible – Dead Reckoning . Ils vont bientôt se retrouver pour un film d'aventure et de science-fiction. Et Tom Cruise a encore Top Gun 3 et Edge of Tomorrow 2 sur le feu !

Jack Reacher 3 ne semble donc pas faire partie de leurs projets pour l'instant, et plus ils s'éloignent de la série, moins il y a de chances qu'un autre film soit réalisé avec Tom Cruise dans le rôle principal.

Pour vous consoler, vous avez jusqu'au 29 février pour voir les deux films Jack Reacher, avec Tom Cruise, sur Netflix.

He is not, to put it mildly, father or husband material.
