Amazon Reacher (2022)

[FESTER665]

I saw this was rated super high on RT this past week, which surprised me. If it's a good show the trailer definitely didn't do it any justice

Agreed! The trailer looked terrible, but if everyone is loving it I'll add it to the list.

I just watched the trailer again and idk if i can bring myself to watch this lol. It's soooooo cringe

 

[BS ISF]

The main guy was hilarious in Blue Mountain State as Thad.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

This is surprisingly good. Whoever cut the trailer should be fired

 

[FESTER665]

Just finished it, it wasn’t the great but was definitely better than that trailer lead me to believe.

I enjoyed it, not up to some of the other Amazon series' standards but it was entertaining.
I'm sure they'll make another season.

 

[SleeperLS]

My wife and I are watching it. It is definitely a little cheesy, but I haven’t read the books so that might check out.

I watched it and thought it was entertaining. The plot was pretty predictable though. I'd give it a solid 7/10.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Just watched it. They did a good job with it. Much better than the movies.

Did anyone else catch the cameo at the end?

Spoiler

Last episode at the end, when Reacher is walking in to the diner, the gentleman walking out is James Dover Grant, better known as Lee Child, the author of the books.

I really liked it - plus im bored AF during the winter, so win-win.

This was the only part that annoyed me. Why go through the trouble of this much detail only to get it wrong? Im not even a 'serious' gun guy and I cringed...

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I could see the "95g" having some validity (Personal Defense loads), but yeah, should have called it a suppressor.

Edit: and I seriously doubt they were subsonic. They're usually higher velocity, like 1300fps.

Thought it was entertaining. Big dumb dumb is a terrible actor, but when you look beyond that, it's good. Will watch season 2.

Yeah - Ive never seen subsonic below 124 (or realistically 147gr) and no one smart enough to intentionally select bullet weight is dumb enough to use supersonic out of a suppressor & expect it to be quiet...

This was my issue with the show as well. I guess they needed a big intimidating person, but I don't know what it is about him just wasnt a fan of the acting or something.

As mentioned previously, the book character is supposed to be 6'5" and about 225-250 lbs, so yeah, not a lot of actors fit that description.

I mean it wasnt the worst acting ever, but there was quite a few times when the lines just didnt come across as they should have.

It was still entertaining, Id say a 7/10 or so.

Still not as good as Jack Ryan though.

The way he spoke irritated me, was like he was reading it off a cue card.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I think it was better than the movies.

Tom Cruise in the Reacher role is like using someone 6'2" to play the role of Logan/Wolverine, who is supposed to be short and stocky (5'3" - 300lbs). Oh wait, they did do that, didn't they?

Just finished this. Never read the book or seen the movies. Thought it was cheesy and heavily predictable but that made it a light hearted watch.

Will watch season two.
