Reacher star Alan Ritchson is not only on Amazon, but also on Netflix, where his film Ordinary Angels currently holds the top position for films.
Fans of hardened warhorses know actor Alan Ritchson best as military policeman Jack Reacher from Reacher. But while he tends to knock the blood out of his opponents in the Amazon series, in the Netflix movie Ordinary Angels he is after a different bodily fluid: your tears.
And no less successful: While several social media posts report on crying sessions after watching the movie, the drama based on true events by director Jon Gunn (Jesus Revolution) is now at number 1 in the Netflix movie charts.
This is what the Netflix hit Ordinary Angels with Reacher star Alan Ritchson and Hilary Swank is about.
1994 in the US state of Kentucky: Sharon (Hilary Swank), the successful hairdresser, is deeply touched after learning about the fate of the Schmitt family, whom she does not know. Five-year-old Michelle (Emily Mitchell) has just lost her mother and urgently needs a liver transplant. To help Michelle’s father Ed (Ritchson), who is drowning in hospital bills, Sharon organizes a 24-hour hair-cutting marathon, during which she collects money from the community.
Sharon, who is struggling with an alcohol problem that she can’t quite admit to herself, is looking for a new purpose in life. She even tries to reconcile the Schmitt family with an estranged family member. But her addiction problem cannot be hidden forever.
