4 years 7 months ago
"Reacher" is a simple creature, establishing one clear point of demarcation from Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher" movies: Like the character in Lee Child's books (and unlike Cruise), this dude is really, really big. And in case you somehow didn't notice, that point is overtly made over and over, which naturally doesn't stop misguided thugs from testing their luck against him.
