Tom Cruise made 2 movies as the character, but he didn't possess the stature, physical or otherwise, to carry off the role (my reviews of Jack Reacher and Never Go Back). Alan Ritchson certainly fits the physical bill and they make a point of proving it by baring his torso at least once in every episode. As for performance, he's got the steely demeanor down (with occasional mild smirk or wise ass comment) and there's no question he can kick ass. In this adaptation of Child's first novel The Killing Floor, Reacher finds himself in a small Georgia town where murders begin to pile up. Toss in lots of shady characters and you have a fairly typical crime drama plot. When Reacher does get physical, he dispatches his enemies with quick violent strokes (also at least once every episode). Fans of the novels will probably find Ritchson more to their liking. He's certainly imposing and sometimes allows a bit of personality to break thru the rigid disposition. However, the rather average production and pedestrian writing make this a pretty standard by-the-numbers procedural. [usr =3.0]… Expand

"Reacher (S01, 8 eps, 45+ mins, Amazon) is a pretty decent action/murder-mystery but it should've been great, instead it has a set of problem points.

And that starts with our title lead Alan Ritchson. He's definitely the right size/bulk but his clean cut appearance is at odds with the "wild man" he should appear to be. He looks more like one of those bulked up clean cut agents from the Matrix series. He's more accountant than military. His walk, his gait is kind of sissy-ish. Joel Kinnaman or Jason Momoa would've been SOOOOO much better and more convincing in this very important role. His action partner and love interest, Roscoe, is ridiculously petite, more like his kid sister than a romantic peer. The casting in general is a dumpster fire. And the action sequences where people die or get maimed are always unwitnessed by anyone, just so implausible. And somehow they keep state and fed law enforcement out of the picture even though his brother, a Secret Service agent was murdered. Ridiculous. That small town would've doubled its size in law enforcement presence within the day. So yeh, it's a disappointing action fantasy when you suspend so many elements of reality. I expected a better entertainment product from Nick Santora.… Expand

Fun 80s style tv show with great fight scenes and plenty of cheese to go round. Not much of the usual woke agenda at play here aside form the usual creative diversity casting concessions, but nothing too egregious - 6 stars
