Finished first season of Reacher.
It’s nice, if you look at it as another version of Punisher. Not the TV series, I didn’t actually like those. But Punisher as a concept. It’s a story about a huge guy that refuses to die, and solves every injustice by killing everyone who’s unjust.
I couldn’t care less about the childhood memories. Everything else was fine, though. The dialogues are punchy, and the fighting scenes don’t make you cringe.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Reacher. And it’s okay. Which means it’s probably better than 90% of the stuff out there. The actors are actually good. The fights are good. Reacher is interestingly compared to Frankestein’s Monster: he’s huge, and everyone is afraid of him. It’s funny how the gun he gets is a Desert Eagle. Fitting his size.
It is also impressive that they didn’t neglect to make a point of how big of a exit wound a .50 caliber bullet leaves.
Also, they did the Georgia accent well: Roscoe is asking this “wa” instead of “why”. “Why did you lie?” becomes “wajuly?”. Willa Fitzgerald is very good.
