The two Jack Reacher movies starring Tom Cruise may be controversial amongst fans of Lee Child's bestselling book series, but that isn't stopping them from finding a substantial audience in the world of streaming. Both Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (the first of which comes from Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie) were added to Netflix's lineup at the start of August, bringing the Paramount hits to the biggest streaming platform around.

Eight years after the second of the movies hit theaters, both Jack Reacher films hit Netflix. Tom Cruise carries a lot of popularity on his own, but the success of Prime Video's acclaimed Reacher TV series likely helped boost excitement for the movies after they arrived. Immediately after being added to the service, the Jack Reacher franchise took over Netflix's movie charts.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back claimed the number one overall spot on Netflix's daily Top 10 Movies list, a place it has held for a few days in a row. The film continues to lead all movies on Monday's Netflix Top 10 Movies list, with the first Jack Reacher not too far behind, hanging out in fifth place.
