Reacher
-
OK - finished it this afternoon.
2 ½ stars - maybe just two.
Very predictable.
"Oh really? That irrelevant character you introduced in episode 1 was with the bad guys? Really?"
"I don't trust that guy," Reacher says to the real bad guy about the real good guy, before telegraphing his plan.
Significant plot holes.
"Don't worry, I'll uncuff you. I somehow managed to get the key to do that."
Suspended believability:
Guy who "never fired a gun" shoots bad guy (through glass) in the forehead.
C'mon man.
Yeah, it ain't Gone With The Wind. It's popcorn, but it's not very good popcorn.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I've watched 4 episodes.
Yeah, it's popcorn, and some of the coincidences really stretch it. A lot of eye candy for both genders.
(Whoopsie, did I say "both?" I believe I did...sorray.)
It's sort of like the American James Bond, but not sophisticated. Very high Redneck Coefficient (not that that's a bad thing).
I think I'd enjoy the character a LOT more if the storyline were more believable.
It sort of reminds me of "Burn Notice" which was on some cable channel. Fun to watch, but without the sophistication of something like "Justified."
(Whoopsie, did I say "both?" I believe I did...sorray.)
Yeah, George, try to keep up.
IIRC, I redd one Reacher book. Reacher never screwed up, never guessed wrong, wasn't ever flummoxed for more than 30 seconds, was smarter than everybody all the time . . .
Bor-r-r-ing.
Gimme Robert Crais any old time.
Plus I am meh about Cruise, so I don't feel I'm missing anything.
