Based on two of the 24 best-selling novels, Jack Reacher's story has been already the subject of two movies by Tom Cruise.
According to the British author Lee Child, his readers were never satisfied with Tom Cruise's physique (170 and 79kg) which never measured up to the character who in the book is 196cm and 113kg, hence the casting of a relatively unknown actor Alan Ritchson (188cm and 106kg) who gained 15kg to play the role.
A Blues-loving, intelligent man of few words, Reacher is a former West Point educated Major who served 13 years in the Military Police Corps running a special investigation team. He is now retired after being honorably discharged. But as the story has it the trouble seems to always find him.
This action-packed thriller seems to be a faithful adaptation and similar to its source material it doesn't disappoint: It is well-written, the cast is great and they have great chemistry. The fight scenes are tense, brutal, and very realistic. Fun fact: They were shot without the use of any stuntmen.
It is a fun watch streaming on Amazon Prime, seasons two will end in January, so it qualifies for a quality binge!
