Tom Cruise’s Latest Action Film Leaked from Streaming Service: Not Another Mission Impossible and Top Gun

Tom Cruise: more than 40 years of career and numerous successes

Yet aged 61, Thomas Cruise Mapother IV aka Tom Cruise never looked so fit. This is evidenced by his performances in recent Top Gun Maverick And Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1. The daredevil actor still performs his own stunts, and has performed several thousand parachute jumps to prepare for the famous motorcycle sequence which was used enormously to promote Ethan Hunt's latest adventures. Actor and producer, we saw him in the first Top Gun, of course, but also in Born on July 4, La Frime, Magnoliathe various Mission Impossible, The Last Samurai, War of the Worlds, The Mummy, Vanilla Sky or oblivion.

Although his membership in Scientology earned him a temporary termination of contract with Paramount in 2006, he is remained very active, multiplying feature films and successes. Not all the productions in which he participated were a hit, but certain cult franchises could not do without him, Mission Impossible and Top Gun in the lead. Besides, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 2 is expected in 2025 to conclude this long epic of action films, which aimed to offer ever more spectacular stunts. But if you follow the actor's career, you also know that he played the lead role in another action film series, adapted from a novel.

Jack Reacher will soon seek refuge elsewhere, again

Composed of two films released in 2012 and 2016, the Jack Reacher franchise is based on the novel Furious Madness by Lee Child, 9th volume of the adventures of Jack Reacher. Contacted by the courts at the request of a man arrested for having shot five people with a sniper, Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) decides to investigate and discovers that a lot of things don't add up. The alleged location of the shootings does not make sense to an expert as is the suspect, and many inconsistencies appear. Unfortunately for Jack, several people seem to be due to the fact that his research does not come to fruition and that James Barr, the suspect, be convicted. Numerous action scenes dot this adventure, which generated more than $218 million at the box office.

Rather well received, the film did not, however, make an impression, and the reviews range from rather good to mixed. In any case, the film directed by Christopher McQuarrie pleased the production, and the success was obviously sufficient to start work on a sequel: Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. Released in 2012, this film is directed by Edward Zick and tells how Jack finds himself accused of several murders while his colleague Susan Turner played by Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother, MCU) is arrested for espionage.

Here again, we are in an action film with many twists and turns, but success was not there. Jack Reacher 2 only grossed $162 million, and was slightly less well received overall. Integrated into the catalog of Netflixthe films made their return to the SVOD service on September 1, 2023. We recently learned that they were going to leave the service again, and we know when! You therefore have until February 29 to discover or rediscover these two feature filmsprovided you are a subscriber, of course.
