Principal photography began on October 20, 2015, in New Orleans, and the film was released on October 21, 2016.[4] It grossed $162 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Cruise's performance and the film's action sequences, but criticized the plot.[5]
Plot
After helping the 110th US ArmyCIDMilitary Police (MP) arrest corrupt Oklahoma Sheriff Raymond Wood and his local deputy, and bust a human trafficking ring, drifter and ex-US Army Military Police investigator and major, Jack Reacher, returns to his old military headquarters in Washington, D.C., to meet Major Susan Turner, with whom he has been working by phone during his travels. He learns from Colonel Sam Morgan that Turner has been accused of espionage and arrested.
Evidence shows that Turner is involved in the murders of two US Army MP soldiers in Afghanistan, but Reacher believes she is being framed. He meets with Turner's lawyer, Army J.A.G. Colonel Moorcroft, to find out what the charges are against her. Moorcroft informs him that an old acquaintance of his, Candice Dutton, has filed a paternity suit against him, claiming he is the biological father of her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha. Reacher tries to reach out to her, but she rebuffs him.
Moorcroft is beaten to death by The Hunter, an ex-SOCOM operator-turned mercenary who frames Reacher for the murder. Reacher is arrested and transported to the prison where Turner is being detained. When two hitmen arrive, he neutralizes them, then escapes with Turner. They go to Morgan's, having deduced he is involved in the conspiracy. The Hunter later kills Morgan and again frames Reacher.
Reacher and Turner uncover surveillance pictures of Samantha and surmise she is in danger. Arriving at her home, they find her foster parents killed and her hiding. The three travel to Turner's old private school for protection, but discover that Samantha or 'Sam' has her mobile phone with her, which the enemy has likely tracked. They make a quick exit, during which Sam steals credit cards from one of the students.
The trio goes to New Orleans in search of Daniel Prudhomme, the only eyewitness to the murders for which Turner has been framed. En route, Sam reveals that it was she who filed the paternity suit, to gain financial support from Reacher for her mother.
Reacher and Turner find Prudhomme in a derelict warehouse filled with drug addicts. Prudhomme turns out to be connected to Parasource, a private military organization that is trying to cover up the murders. Reacher contacts Turner's friend, Captain Anthony Espin, to move him into custody, but they are ambushed by Parasource operatives and Prudhomme is killed, while Reacher rescues a wounded Espin. Parasource's CEO, General James Harkness, sends The Hunter to capture Sam.
Reacher, Turner, Espin and a team of MPs, acting on information from Prudhomme, intercept a shipment of weapons due to enter the country, where they confront Harkness and his men. Espin finds antitank weapons, as declared in the flight manifest, with opium hidden inside. They also learn that Harkness framed Turner, who had been investigating his activities, for the murders of the two soldiers (who were actually murdered by The Hunter) after they had discovered that Harkness was selling weapons to insurgents and smuggling opium into the US.
The Hunter and his men chase Sam through New Orleans to lure Reacher into a confrontation. While Reacher and Turner kill his henchmen, The Hunter captures Sam on a rooftop. However, when Reacher arrives, she manages to escape. He tackles The Hunter and they have a vicious fight, ending with Reacher breaking The Hunter's arm, leg, and neck, before dropping his body off the rooftop.
Following Harkness' arrest, Turner is reinstated to her command. Reacher promises to keep in touch, then goes to meet Sam at a diner. He tells her he will recognize her mother, if he knows her, as he remembers every woman he has slept with. Samantha reveals that the waitress that had been serving him is, in fact, her mother, so Reacher cannot be her father, as neither had recognized the other.
Reacher and Sam then reluctantly part. As he is walking along a road, he is surprised to hear the ringing of a phone she had slipped into his pocket. Reacher finds a text message from Sam reading, "Miss me yet?". He smiles as he sticks out his thumb to hitch a ride.

In addition, Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher novel series, makes a brief appearance as a TSA agent.
Production
Development
While Jack Reacher was intended to be a tent-pole for a film series, a sequel was initially reported to be unlikely due to its lackluster run at the North American box office.[6] In February 2013, a sequel became more likely after the film surpassed a gross of $200 million worldwide.[7] On December 9, 2013, Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media announced they were moving forward with the development of a second film, reportedly based on the 2013 Jack Reacher novel Never Go Back.[8] On May 14, 2014, Tom Cruise was reported to be reprising his role as Jack Reacher.[9]
On May 19, 2015, Deadline reported that Edward Zwick would reteam with Cruise, and direct the film. Zwick wrote the script along with Marshall Herskovitz and Richard Wenk. Zwick had previously directed Cruise on the 2003 film The Last Samurai.[10] On August 14, 2015, Cobie Smulders was added to the cast to play the female lead.[11] On September 15, Danika Yarosh signed on to star in the film,[12] on September 17, Aldis Hodge was added to the cast,[13] and on September 22, Patrick Heusinger was cast in the villain role.[14] On October 20, Holt McCallany joined the film, as did Austin Hebert.[15] On November 12, 2015, Robert Catrini joined,[16] and on January 20, 2016, Robert Knepper was cast as General Harkness, a retired general, and CEO of a private military firm.[17]
Filming
Principal photography on the film began on October 20, 2015, in New Orleans, Louisiana.[18] On November 23, 2015, filming took place in Baton Rouge,[19] and in January 2016, filming also took place in St. Francisville.[20] Filming wrapped on January 30, 2016.
Release
Theatrical release
On June 14, 2016, Entertainment Weekly premiered a preview of the first trailer, with Cobie Smulders introducing the footage. The official Jack Reacher Twitter account announced that a full trailer would be released on June 22, 2016.[citation needed] A browser game, titled Jack Reacher: Never Stop Punching, was also released to promote the film.[21]
In September 2015, Paramount set Jack Reacher: Never Go Back a release date of October 21, 2016.[22]
By May 2018, the film had made $14.5 million in domestic region video sales.[2]
Reception
Box office
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back grossed $58.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $103.4 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $162.1 million, against a production budget of $60–96 million.[3][26]
In the United States and Canada, the film opened alongside Ouija: Origin of Evil, Keeping Up with the Joneses, Boo! A Madea Halloween, and I'm Not Ashamed, and was projected to gross around $20 million from 3,780 theaters in its opening weekend, with the studio expecting a debut of about $17 million.[27] It earned $1.3 million in midnight showings at 1,850 theaters, slightly above Oblivion's $1.1 million and under Edge of Tomorrow's $1.8 million.[28] For the weekend, the film opened to $23 million, finishing in second place, behind Boo! A Madea Halloween.[29][30] In its second weekend, the film dropped by 58.2%, grossing $9.6 million, and finishing third at the box office, behind A Madea Halloween ($16.7 million) and newcomer Inferno ($15 million).[31]
Outside North America, the film was released in 42 countries in conjunction with its United States and Canada debut, representing about 75% of the film's total marketplace internationally.[32] In 30 of those markets, the film posted a bigger opening than the first Reacher film, and posted the top movie openings of the week in the United Kingdom and Ireland ($3.3 million), France ($2.8 million), Australia ($2 million), Russia ($2 million), Indonesia ($1.9 million), Taiwan ($1.6 million), and the United Arab Emirates ($1.3 million).[32]
Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 37%, based on 234 reviews, with an average rating of 5.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Monotonously formulaic, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is one action-thriller sequel whose title also serves as a warning."[33] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score 47 out of 100, based on 43 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[34] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, while the first film received an "A−".[35][28]
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote: "The star gives author Lee Childs’ action-lit ex-military hero an agility, rage, and quick wit in this satisfying sequel". Travers notes that Cruise is very different from the character in the books and that critics need to get over it, and says, "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."[36]
Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a notable drop-off from the first Reacher feature" and said "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."[37]
Peter Debruge of Variety wrote: "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."[38]
Following the mixed critical reception to Never Go Back, plans for a third installment were delayed, while a reboot in the form of an Amazon Prime exclusive television series was announced.[39] On February 4, 2022, an 8-episode series of Reacher was released on Amazon Prime, starring Alan Ritchson in the lead role. The series adapts Child's first novel, Killing Floor.[40]
Potential sequel film
In July 2020, Christopher McQuarrie stated that Cruise and he had been working on developments for additional movies featuring the titular character. Plans for the third film included darker themes, with intentions for the future movies in the series to be R-rated. The filmmaker further acknowledged the possibility for a return to the series at a later date, stating that the "franchise has moved on...we haven't."[41]

Uso de la garrucha según un grabado de Jacques Callot de 1633. La garrucha (de garrucha, polea) es una modalidad de tortura que consistía en atar las manos del condenado a la espalda, y tras esto, izarlo lentamente mediante una polea, normalmente situada en el techo. Luego se le dejaba caer con violencia, pero sin que llegara a tocar el suelo. La maniobra solía significar la dislocación de las extremidades superiores del condenado.
