Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Has a Brand New Movie Streaming (But It’s a Big Departure From His Hit Show)

by

Fans waiting for the next season of Reacher have something new from star Alan Ritchson to enjoy right now! He’s teamed up with Kevin James (from King of Queens) in a new action comedy movie now available on Prime Video, showcasing his skills in a different kind of role.

Alan Ritchson’s new movie, Playdate, is now available on Prime Video. While fans of his serious role in Reacher might be surprised, Playdate is a comedic action film that showcases a different side of Ritchson’s talents – a side he honed earlier in his career, before becoming known for action roles. It’s packed with action, but leans much more into comedy.

Unfortunately, being a comedy isn’t the only thing setting Playdate apart from the Reacher series. While Reacher has consistently received positive reviews, Playdate hasn’t been so lucky. Early reviews are quite negative, with a score of only 17% on Rotten Tomatoes. Even audiences don’t seem to be enjoying it much, giving it a “rotten” fan rating of 54%.

This isn’t meant to discourage you from watching Playdate—it’s something everyone should try if it seems interesting. It’s just helpful to have realistic expectations first.
