For anyone who has read the books, this guy truly incarnates the character of Reacher unlike anything that Cruise could do. I liked Cruises Reacher in a way but always knew he wasn't really Reacher.
More just an excuse to have Cruise do an action movie, than caring about the character, which was fine. The first film was fantastic.
I agree. He is Jack reacher in my mind. Killing floor was the first book in the series I read. Loved it.
He nailed it. This man looks like the giant beast with a genius level IQ from the books.
I think Tom nailed the personality in the first film, but yeah, 6'5 behemoth he is not..
Since they had Lee Childs in the first Cruise movie, I went with if he was ok with Cruise, then so was I. And I also think if Cruise hadn't wanted to do the role, the TV show would have never happened
They finally nailed Reacher’s character. Allen also seems like a genuinely nice guy.
Tom Cruise didn't do bad at actually portraying the character of Reacher - he just didn't match the physical description of the man. The first Reacher movie was epic.
@@ComedyBros5 100% agreed; however, arguably physical characteristics of the character are super important for Reacher. But Cruise was surprisingly good otherwise.
@@ibarskiy I totally agree. If it wasn't labeled as a Reacher movie, it would've just been a solid action thriller from Cruise.
I actually think Cruise was even better than Ritchson was at the actual Reacher personality just due his more seasoned acting career, but Ritchson takes the overall win since he actually looks the part.
@@ComedyBros5 I almost said that. Ritchson is a little too smart ass in his delivery rather than just confident. Cruise really did do a good job in getting the confidence and competence across. But overall yeah Ritchson is the better Reacher
@@ibarskiy agreed. Tom just has that solid experience. His portrayals of the characters in A Few Good Men and Minority Report have that right balance of competence and confidence for Reacher. I still loved how Alan played Reacher though.
As a Lee Child fan, I think this Reacher is the right choice, Alan played brilliantly, wonderful cast, great job!
I agree. Best depiction so far. Only nick pick is that Reacher in the books is more mature and older, while this guy is like fresh af
Must admit I was disappointed with his acting. Although he has the physical stature he doesn't capture the Lee Child's character as well as Tom Cruise. Of course Tom didn't have the physical stature, but nailed the character, hence the success of his films at the box office.
@John No, sorry , I have to disagree. Watching Tom Cruise play Reacher was just awful.
I’m a massive fan of the books and I’m afraid no matter how good an action actor ( type cast if ever there was one) TC is, he can not pull off Reacher.
Not in attitude, ruggedness and certainly not in stature.
TC is and always will be short.
@@monk3yboy69 Don't worry Monkey, TC is laughing all the way to the bank.
@@monk3yboy69 yeah tom cruise wasn't tall enough etc, but this guy can't really act. I still really liked this series, but the guy was constantly smirking like he was excited to get the part even during serious moments like finding his brother's body
This is by far the best and smartest action show around. I stayed up all night watching all the episodes. Hats off to Amazon for making this possible. I’m glad to see it’s getting rave reviews. The cast is perfect.
Agreed, I watched all the episodes in two evenings I hope they make many more series hoping they keep them as good!
Same man, it was AMAZING
I am almost done with my second time through the series. I am SO happy about Alan Ritchson - I couldn't have picked a more perfect Reacher.
after reading the series, i got to say i wasn't a big fan of neagley's portrayal. in my eyes it was the equivalent of seeing tom cruise as reacher.
but the cast was definitely spot on.
@Behemoth it’s the book. So? It was great.
Watched the first 4 episodes tonight. The best series since Justified! Alan is WAY more believable than Tom Cruise if you’ve read the book and the character description. I hope there are at least a dozen moe seasons. This series rocks!
Loving it so far too. Hoping it stays as compelling, if not moreso, going forward just like Justified managed to do. ✌️
wow i felt the same way--this was my Justified! great comment
“Remember, you wanted this…” from 5’6” Cruise doesn’t sound too menacing.
He is the perfect Reacher! He played that first six minutes where he didn’t talk exactly like I pictured it n my head when reading the book. Everything about the first season was awesome an I hope it goes for a long time!
Great interview. This very intelligent actor was given a chance to talk about the specifics of camera work and fight choreography that elevated the discussion. It’s easy to admire an actor who freely talks about his parents and his family and admits to reading all 24 of the Reacher books. Looking forward to season 2-and action isn’t even my “thing”.
They admit to anything when paid to.....
@@snap-n-shoot who hurt you?
I pass....tq
This guy seems like a genuine human being - I wish him and this series all the success it deserves - the Reacher series is 100% ALL great !!
Alan is the perfect Reacher. I really liked him as Aquaman in Smallville back in the day....I thought this guy's on screen presence was bigger than life...surprised he hasn't made a bigger splash so to speak in Hollywood before now....let's hope the Reacher series has a long run!
We binge-watched this Reacher series.Terrific series and we look forward to Season 2.
He's the perfect choice, hits all the high notes and has the screen presence to bring the character to life.
Love that he's genuinely interested in the books and uses them to plan ahead.
Perfect Casting .. Mr Ritchson seems like a real intelligent insightful guy. Only saw him as Hawk in Titans .. He nailed the Reacher role.
Alan is great in this interview, you can tell he's a very relatable down to earth person. I've never seen this kind of interaction in one of these interviews with the actor shows an interest in the interviewer. I've read the majority of the Reacher books and he is absolutely in line with the character in the series. On top of that the series is incredibly well done and nuanced, all the way down to the sound of the thunder on the title screen of each episode. Because that is what Reacher is, he is the storm, he's inexorable and relentless. When he says he's going to find everyone responsible and kill them, he isn't lying. He basically just told you the ending. That menace, like an 80s slasher film antagonist is all tied to the physical menace inherent in the character as written and while I enjoyed the Cruise movies it wasn't something he could bring to the screen.
Yeah…the interviewer was really good. He asked questions about the Actor’s perspective and the process. Very rare and insightful…kind of felt a little like “Inside the Actor’s Studio” great show…muss it.
Anyway…this is an Amazing series. I binged it in a few days…cant wait for more. Amazon…please give them a minimum of 5 years(hopefully more)…there is 25 years of material in Reacher.
Alan was PHENOMENAL in BMS and I am so glad he got such a good role. I read the Lee Child book when I was around 13 on recommendation from my dad and I'm now 25 and I am so glad they did a series that actually does the book justice. Alan pulled it of great and the writing was also superb, I binged it in one sitting. Can't wait for a second season
There are actually two dozen Reacher books, so you have some catching up to do.
@@richardchristianson2823 this season is based on the first book?
@@henrik1743 yes 👍
Facts! He was amazing in the show. Hope we gets a second season!
@@henrik1743 Yes, from 1997.
The dude is at least 9" taller than Tom Cruise, and his physicality is soooooo much more plausible. This is the dude Lee Child had envisioned in his character and he has said in many interviews that Tom couldn't carry it. It was about why Reacher is the way he is. He always felt he was tough enough to take what the world threw at him and being really big for his age, and then almost 8" taller than the average person once he was his full height, it changes your perspective. I was 6' at 12, 6'2" by 13 years of age, and I kept growing. Being the biggest person in the elementary school you attend, including the teachers, it changes how you view the world, the perspective is literally quite different. Being the biggest person in the room 99% of the time either makes you feel like you are the protector, or the bully. In my personal experience, most big people (5+" taller than average) tend to fall generally in those two camps, and most as the gentle-giant protector type. Reacher just cannot tolerate malicious deceit, injustice, bullying, abuse, or neglect. The more innocent or harmless the victim, the more compelled he feels to intercede. He has always felt the responsibility to speak out, to advocate, to seek justice, and was willing to take the risk personally. He has always felt compelled to intercede, to be the bigger person both figuratively and literally. His life-path started in the orbit of the military, direct action, telling the truth regardless of personal consequences, honor. Being constrained to play by the same rules the abusers use to hide behind is ultimately why he ended up becoming a "Hobo". Great character, great writing, great adaption, great actors, Amazing fit with the main character as Alan Ritchson absolutely nails it!
I've seen numerous big guys that fell into the bully category get completely wrecked by guys Tom Cruise's size. Never conflate size with the ability to wreck havoc.
@@carbonking53 Yeah this guy writing his essay must have grown up in silver spoon suburbia. I'm 6'1. In my 20s I was around 225 with muscle. I could hold my own. I'm not ashamed to say I've had friends that were 5'7 to 5'8 around 170 that either trained in martial arts extensively or gold glove boxers. They would cause me and many others to have a bad day.
Cruise has a napoleon complex, hence why he fought hard to potray Reacher in the films.
Agree with your comments on height. My son was the exact heights at the same ages you were and was related to differently because of it. It does shape your perception of the world and it was fascinating to watch. It’s difficult to describe the whys and hows of the difference from an average height person and you did a decent job. He is a protector. No bullies allowed in my house. He topped out at 6’6”. I’ll just say it took a massive amount of food to get him there.
Cruise did a good job in his Reacher movies. However, it did bother me that they picked him for this role - it just did not feel right.
I have to say I've read several of Lee Child's books and this was an amazing series. I couldn't stop watching it. I burned through it. I loved every minute. Great job.
I’ve watched this series three times. Easily one of the best new series. Alan does a great, believable job and is smart and voluable in the interview .seems real normal which is quite unlike most actors I know or have known.
Best series I've watched in years! After watching a few of these interviews
Ritchson seems like one of the few actors that would be just as entertaining and interesting off screen as he is while playing a character on it! 😄👍Seems like a genuine person, often getting off on tangents of personal stories or anecdotes that annoy the interviewer's pre planned question timeline... Love it 🤣👍
I've read all the books. They really did ace this with the Ritchson hire. Guys a giant, grew up on military bases, etc. Much more true to the books than the Tom Cruise hire. While Cruise has a big personality, he does not have the physical presence of Ritchson, which is an important part of the character.
Having read all books, I concurr.
Yeah, Alan has the size but he's a mediocre actor (in my opinion, don't spaz out). Cruise is short but his acting ability is much stronger. So, pick your poison I guess. I liked the movies with Cruise and from what I've seen of this series, it's entertaining but the acting is clearly at a lower tier. Not bad, it's fine, just not excellent.
@@JM-db8ez He'll get better as it goes on.
@@questionablereasoning1718 Ritchson isn't bad, he's fine--just not remarkable, that's all. It's an entertaining show, I enjoy it just like I enjoyed the movies.
Having read the Reacher books you can appreciate the choice of Alan Ritchson as Reacher. He’s smart, a good actor, fits the demeanor of Reacher, and of course matches his size for the necessary intimidation when necessary. Could never watch the movie with CRUISE, maybe a good actor but at 5’7” could never see him as Reacher.
Alan was awesome in this. Just finished. I can't imagine this not getting picked up for another season.
Wish granted.
This actor is perfect for Jack Reacher! I hope the series lasts a long time!
Absolutely stellar match. I was mesmerized. Could NOT stop watching. You must keep on going with this!
I have all Lee Child's Reacher books, and I learned to treat Tom Cruise's films as enjoyable films that were nothing to do with Jack Reacher. But when I first saw Alan Richson, I immediately saw as the Reacher I had in my mind's eye when I read my first Reacher book, which I think was One Shot. Alan utterly nailed it. I would love to see them do Echo Burning next.
He is the perfect Jack Reacher...
Love the series and can't wait for more season's to come. The casting for me is finally perfect. You played and fit the role very well Mr Ritchson. The dry humor also worked very well. More please.
He did an amazing job, he nailed the essence of Reacher, really good job of showing him and his brother as teenagers to give some background of who Reacher is . Well done !!!!
GREAT WORK!!! He made Reacher belivable. Hope to see many more seasons!!!
What a wonderful interview, well done. I didn’t have much interest in seeing Reacher Until now, but Alan seems like such a perfect fit and so dedicated to the role. What a genuine guy. Time to go watch it
Wow didn’t think this show was going to be as good as it is... I really love it! Great cast and writing... would highly recommend
Have to give credit to this crew for absolutely nailing the "feel" of Reacher from the books. I highly doubt anyone could have done a better job of getting the character so perfect. Looking forward to more seasons coming out.
I read almost all the books, I may have missed one. I hope this guy does well. He seems to meet my def of Reacher. It has to be hard for a guy that is that huge to get parts that mean something. I hope not only does he do well but it leads to a lot more for him. He seems like a good guy.
Absolutely loved you as Reacher! The series was so so good. I really hope more series are in the process of being commissioned. Loved your supporting cast ❤. You are so like how I imagine Reacher to be from the books. Congratulations 🎊 👏
Finally someone who resembles Reacher the way the books describe him. A huge man and a great character. Loved all the books. Can't wait for the second season.
So often, the hero from the page and in our head is a disappointment on the screen. However, the casting for this series was inspired. The intelligent directing and camera work, combined with faithful story telling and a perfect balance of gravitas and humour, makes this a stand-out production. I hope it is so successful, that it demands more of Lee Child’s books to be transformed in this way.
This was an interesting interview which I very much enjoyed. Thank you.
So glad Amazon made something that is accurate to the source material, and respectful of the creator and fans. I think if you're going to dramatically change the characters in the source material, you should just write a new story. It's so rare these days to see any show that respects the creator of the story and the established characters.
Really liked the show. Some of the supporting actors should have been cast a little smaller. If you buy into Reacher's size, then a few other characters were giants as well.
LOVED IT !!!!! We need a season 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 !!! and a movie !!! I love Cruise in the role but Alan is amazing !!
Very glad I watched the interview. This makes me enjoy the character Alan has brought to life even more. Outstanding actor and outstanding show. So looking forward to more!
NOW THIS IS JACK REACHER!! Cant wait fpr season 2 or Movie Spin Offs..
BIG fan of the Jack Reacher character and Lee Childs’ Reacher novels. So glad to have a good actor who meets the physical description playing the role. Hope there are many more of these Jack Reacher stories brought to the screen. Also, appreciate a series because more of the story is portrayed. 90 minute movies have to skip too much from the written story! Thanks to the creators for the great Reacher entertainment, both written and visual.
Alan nailed it. I enjoyed the movies, but it felt like something else. Finally Reacher has come to life on the screen. Can't wait for more seasons.
loved the show - Mr. Ritchson did an amazing job.
He really embodied many of the elements of the character - including his smarts - it was awesome to see.
The result of the collaboration was obvious - a great scene is contribution of the writers, producers, directors and talent - when it all comes together - you get great results.
As a large actor myself (not quite his size - ONLY 6'2" but large frame- lot of theater and stage) - it is great to see a big guy that gets to be both big and smart.
it was entertaining and very engaging - can't wait for another season.
Ritchson seems the perfect choice for Reacher. It's that combination of very likeable and yet terrifying that not many people could pull off i think. You love him and you pray you'll always be on the same side as him. That's Reacher.
great pick for Reacher. amazon really did a good job with this. Alan did a really good job on this
Great interview guys. Alan your performance was very enjoyable as Reacher and the supporting cast were awesome too. I do hope we get A LOT more series to come.
I have read all of the books and have been very disappointed in the movies based off the books as Tom cruise doesn’t fit the part! I was very interested in this as it looked like it was a lot better casting! I was not disappointed! I love the fact that the entire series was one book! I don’t like it when you try to shrink a book down to 2 hours, you end up missing a lot of the story! I loved the glimpses of reachers past! Very well done series! I hope they continue!
Lee Child can rest now peacefully. Alan is perfect for Reacher.
he's still alive silly. lee childs was in the show 2
Having read the entire Reacher series, and now having binge watched season 1, I have to agree with the many other commenters here….. this is as close to the fictional character of Reacher as it can get! Alan looks pretty much like the Reacher I imagined from the book series, he talks like him, he walks like him. Nice interview, good questions! It’s always a pleasure to find out the actor whose performance you admire is an intelligent and likable human being. Hopefully there will be many more seasons!
Alan Ritchson nailed Jack Reacher. The whole cast was phenomenal. Especially the one who played Finley. As a Reacher fan, I am so glad to truly see the book come alive. Grateful the books are a series and not a 2-hour movie.
I gotta say I couldn't stand Finley. The acting just felt so bad and forced. I liked him in the book though
I watched the show recently and I thoroughly enjoyed it, really hope we get a lot more seasons of it. And Alan Ritchson seems such a wholesome guy
An authentic Reacher! Awesome. I love that statement. That word. Authentic! If only more producers, writer, directors and actors shot for that instead of trying to rewrite a book, movie or game to meet their own personal agendas.
Great interview. Thank you. I have also read all of Lee Child’s books including his last one in collaboration with his brother, Andrew “Better off Dead”. The beauty of books is that the main characters are created, with the help of the author, in one’s imagination. I see Jack Reacher as a man of large stature (I describe him as being built like a brick outhouse), a very hard man with great fighting skills. The sort of guy you don’t want to mess with. I became quite excited when I heard that a film was being made of one of his books but at the same with some trepidation thinking that the character created would not match the person I had created in my imagination. I have to say that I was disappointed when Tom Cruise was cast as Jack Reacher (albeit a great actor). Please excuse the pun but he did not measure up to my imagination of how Reacher has been created. I totally understand why he was cast in the role in order to provide a “big box office name” and the end product was good but sadly did not match the character I had in my head. I am therefore very excited to see your interviewee actually appears to match how I see Jack Reacher. I wish him all the success in the role of Jack Reacher in, I hope, many more films.
Never really seen him before, he seems so likable and humble. A regular nice guy that happens to be 6'3" 250 and good looking
Wife, 14 year old son and I are enjoying so far. i enjoyed the 1st movie as well. i am not comparing them against each other because Alan and Cruise are so different
Alan has the size, also thinking he isnt as "big" helps but Cruise is the vastly superior actor and gives off qualities that Alan cant. movie production VS TV production, 2 hr movie VS 8 1 hour shows
6'6
@@terrenceodonnell6347 Alan Ritchson is 6'2"-6'3"....not lose to 6'6"
@@terrenceodonnell6347 IMDB says 6'2". Cruise according to same is 5'7". 7" diff seems reasonable. I thought Cruise did a good job as Reacher and considering his size, that was an accomplishment.
I discovered Jack Reacher well over a decade ago and I’ve read every book at least once. Alan doesn’t perfectly fit what I expected but he’s awfully close. One thing, and I realize this is nitpicking, but I had pictured Reacher as a really big man but in an athletic way. Alan looks more like a bodybuilder than a huge football or rugby player. I remember Arnold discussing his role as Conan the Barbarian when he said to prep for the role he had to hit the gym to change his body to look more athletic. This was completely lost on me back then but now I completely get it. It’s far from a deal breaker, more like just an observation.
Hello. I had the same view you have when I initially saw the character. But as I thought back to reading the Reacher series, I began to realize Reacher's upbringing and training are of a military-structured approach in his life (hence the somewhat stiff movements) combined with his analytical abilities. Remember, Reacher said in Lee Child's books "I can't run a 100 yard dash in 15 seconds, but I can make an impact." (paraphrasing). His athleticism is shown from incredible brutality and violence as required to meet his objectives. Perhaps I am rationalizing because I like this actor's portrayal so much. Anyway, great to see such a great show.
Watched Alan’s version on Prime…loved it. He reminds me by appearance of a younger Sean Bean from his ‘Sharps’ days. Tom Cruise was also good as Reacher, but you can’t stop seeing him as Cruise the actor, whereas I wasn’t familiar with Ritchson so he cemented firmly in for me, as being Reacher. Hope this guys career sky rockets…he’s good and has a likeable screen charisma….Way to go AR 👍
Alan's performance was SO GOOD in this that HE is now the Reacher character. Bravo!
My daughters van is the brown chevy van in the first scene that the couple is fighting in front of. So cool to see it on tv!!
Such a likeable guy.
This show is dope!!! Reacher the Beast
What a smart interesting guy👍👍👍
I think Alan is terrific and his skills are just amazing. His character is so intelligent and has such insights, it makes watching quiet compelling. It's also sad in many ways. but very well done.
This guy made the series. He was great. It was a wonderful series because of him and his acting.
Great interview, great series. Can't wait to see more, hopefully LOTS more!
the show was a home run
Alan's physical presence is massive... compelling... and absolutely pivotal to the DNA of this character
Brilliant interview, Alan and the interviewer (Sorry, didn't catch the name) Combined so well. Alan was much more intelligent than a large muscular bloke has a right to be and very humble at the same time. I am a long time fan of all the books and feel sorry for Tom Cruise's minion who has to carry the milk crate around after him, though he did a great acting job in the movies.
Alan is the perfect Reacher but there is something different about the hair. Is it darker in the books? And Alan, thank you and your family for their service, by the way "Respect"
I grew up watching Tom Cruise play REACHER but I could never except Tom's size as Reacher.......but Alan Ritchson is definitely a shoe in for the REACHER character.....WELL DONE
I believed he was Jack Reacher in the first 6 mins. When he stares at the guy being aggressive towards his partner, that stare is authentic Jack Reacher and he nails it.
I have to say that we watched the Reacher series within three or maybe four days - we are certainly hoping that this continues on! I've never read the books - I have seen the movies - but I must say this series, and the humor in it, made me want to read the books for the first time! I love the dynamics between the the three main characters, and every one else who supports this series. You have all done an amazing job, and I look forward to both seeing more of the series, and also starting to read the books. Thank you all! :)
Dude's a class act
Loved this series and I will read Lee Child’s books. I recommended it to my husband and daughter.
Seems like a cool dude. I was already a fan after Blood Drive and Titans, Reacher made me more of a fan. Has a Banshee kinda vibe to it.
I'm so glad that Alan Ritchson is seeing such success. I hope Reacher keeps going for many more years. I'd love to see more from him.
Finally a believeable ‘Reacher' consistent with the novels’ character!! Loved you in Margrave/ Solitude… Thank you!
AT LAST!!!!! He is physically perfect to embody the character of Reacher…. he’s everything I imagined the man in the book to look and sound like… YAY! I’ve loved what I’ve seen and can’t wait for more!!!
Great Reacher. Cruise was a joke. Only complaint is Reachers fight were over quickly. Nobody hits Reacher twice!
From the first episode, I was saying, finally, a believable Reacher. I’ve enjoyed Tom Cruise in other endeavours, but as Reacher, totally unbelievable, and mis-cast, which you would know if you had read any Lee Child books.
I love the books. One of the mysteries for me is how does Reacher maintain such a great physical body by drinking coffee, eating pie, burgers and coke?
Really like this guy. He seems so different than his character, which means he's a terrific actor. Seems like the kind of guy you'd like to sit down and have a beer with. The guy doing the interview was excellent.
As a fan of the books, I love this first season. My only hope is that this show doesn't gain the attention of Amazon's woke folks and become a ruined show due to wokeness. Remember, get woke, go broke. That's proven to be true.
Perfect casting. So much more believable than Tom Cruise. Absolutely love the way they stuck with the book details.
I love how much Alan struggles to find the right words to describe Reacher and how he portrays Reacher because it just shows how much he knows about Reacher. It's like trying to describe how to swallow food for him lol
Great interview. I thought the entire season was superb. Pilot was a definite hook...complete mission success there. I sensed a bit of CGI on Reacher's closeup in the beginning of the diner scene...gave him a quick gritty look...a bit of sharpening perhaps. It was done well.
Man.... I totally enjoyed the series, actors were all on point, very cool action sequences, please give us a 2nd season.
SEASON 2 CONFIRMED!!!
I have been a big fan of Lee Child long before the original Reacher movies came out and have also read all the books. Y’all have nailed this and I too hope this continues.
Such a great video! Great questions, and great answers :-) I thought it was so dumb the way they killed Hawk in the latest Titans season, instead of giving one of the best actors on that show more space. But so glad to see Alan Ritchson went on to do something even better!
My Dad and Mom read all of the Reacher books and then watched the movie….Dad said Tom Cruise was definitely not a Jack Reacher! 😹. Wish Dad was alive now to see this series!
My vote is for the book Persuader when Reacher has to fight a 7ft 400lb bodybuilder and nearly loses. It’s so well written.
Alan Ritchson is fantastic as "Reacher". He was also great in "Titans".... 🙂....
not taking anything away from TC- however reading all the reacher books he’s the man 👨 in the books
This is Reacher made real. I've read all the Child books multiple times and the series is very faithful to the book and even uses much of the dialog spoken in the book. Amazing. I hope they do all the books like this.
I'm up for it, 1 season down, 23 to go.
@@TheToledoTrumptonlet's say... 25 to go :)
@@flaviuteodorescu4916 Whoops :)
Best show ever, perfect Reacher!
Never watched any of Tom Cruises Reachers but it is much more believable for this guy to be shit whipping people than tiny Tom.
Loved it but the fight scene with reacher and the 160lb guy with the crow bar was too long, 260lb reacher would have broken him in half the moment he grabbed him
I think it was a good balance of showing his toughness but also showing he’s not Superman & can be vulnerable.
Please, let this continue...
I loved this?.. I really can’t believe Cruise was ever casted in this roll. Tom C. Was the reason I never saw this series event though I read the books.
I liked Tom in the movie but it was like watching mission impossible I think this guy brings more depth and more closely to the book character really enjoy his take it like the action shows I grew up
This fella is now Reacher in my mind, my only note, I expected more a military manor in his performance
I was impressed with how gracious he was regarding Cruise and his efforts. In a sense, Cruise's efforts empowered this version to some degree. The series looks good. If i have any criticism is the fact they stretched out one Lee Story into eight episodes. That's a bit frustrating especially if one already knows how it's going to end having read the book. Otherwise, this looks like a winner.
