Jack Reacher
I discovered Lee Childs Jack Reacher stories about 10 years ago, what a great read. Usually we find Reacher hitch hiking, as he wanders the USA, somebody will eventually pick him up despite having a hulkish look at 6-6 260ish. And our story begins.

When I heard there was going to be a movie, yep, excited. But........Tom Cruise? How can the 5-8 170 (guessing) sell the huge Jack Reacher? In the stories the size of Reacher is a constant, we get it.....big bad hombre. Tom Cruise a big bad hombre......nay!

X pro rassler/current actor Dave Batista.....perfect.

If a movie is based on a literary character why not stay as close as possible to the story?

I guess the worst casting job ever was John Wayne as Ghanghis Ghan, What were they thinking?

They did get me with the "I'll tear out your trachea and your last thought will be 'holy shit he actually did it'." line. I laughed pretty hard at that.

The books are full of cliches, and instead of doing like they did with Jack Ryan and only using the name, they are being pretty true to the Reacher books.

I'll take that every time over the writers deciding to go off the reservation.

This show is ****ing great. Not because it is well written, but because it isn't and they lean fully into just how bad it is. Which makes it awesome.

My word she's good lookin'

And there isn't a look she couldn't pull off. You want upscale professional? Done. Insecure secretary - she'll rock a 9.5 there. Slutty nurse/stripper - she'd kill it.

Total package of hot.
A bit of research and I sadly couldn't find any nudes of her.

I remember watching 'Man of Steel' and during the last fight scene the wanton carnage was SO over the top that I turned to my wife and said 'shit, he should've just let 'em win. Or maybe fight in central Kansas or something? This will have the economic and societal impact of like 5 nukes being dropped in the city...'

I got taken out of the movie. That's never a good thing.

Here they've just gotten SO murdery that it took me out of the show.

This has become obligation watching. I'd far prefer spend an hour on Foundation instead. This just isn't very good.

Yeah, they didn't quite stick the landing. I was still entertained, though. I'll definitely be back for season 3.

And even battered and bloody. Dixon is still a damned smokeshow. Dammit, girl.

It wasn't amazing, but the finale did enough box-checking for me. Enjoy the overall story. Onto Season 3

I'm hoping for 2 things out of season 3. One, better writing which we've talked about. Two, he doesn't need to be so big. I might be in the minority, but I thought he was big enough in the first season. He was much slower/plodding in this season. He seemed winded half the time.

I won’t argue that. He hit the roids hard between S1 and S2.

The action was better in S1 even if the final battle was a little over the top.

But I’ll watch that dude crush fools any time.
