Almost forgot McQ didn't write/direct the second Jack Reacher because handcuffing AND bending Tom Cruise over is surely something he puts in his movies
the idea that every prestige movie has to be have a writer-director is disastrous imho. there's like four directors who are good screenwriters and two screenwriters who are good directors.
@hackerchick Of course he was, how could i have doubted his involvement for a second (also saw that he was a producer on it). Besides that, Reacher absolutely did not resist the cuffs - so unnecessary to bend him over like that. That was creative input from someone👀
