I'm just wondering why they filmed it in Ontario Canada when Georgia has such a large film industry here. I hope they make a Season 2. The amount of shows now made in Canada is pretty amazing. I’m surprised that Yellowstone is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because of laws Georgia has passed that the Hollywood "elite" doesn't like. Had to come back and modify this a bit. No one reads newspapers anymore. You must not have been watching the news.

They were discussing a shooting and recovered a 9mm 115 grain slug. "obviously a subsonic round" an actor said. Aren't the subsonics running around 147 grains and more? I had to pause it and Mansplain to my better half this very obvious error. They actually said they recovered a 95gr slug, Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 OK, a .380 is 9mm and 95 grains is a common .380 bullet. Plus, a .380 is more likely to be surpressed and is much quieter than a full size 9mm. There explained, now can we get back to Roscoe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 We've been limiting ourselves to one episode a day. We really enjoy the show. If you disagree, then may you burn in the 30th level of hell, with your eyes boiling out of your head, while watching continuous The View episodes... or not.

Finally....a Reacher that matches the one in the book. Big, strong, tough, smart, experienced. Highly recommend it, if you love the books.

Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I have been a big fan of the books and yes while Tom Cruise wasn’t “Reacher” size, the dialogue was close to the books and for me made it watchable. My son has a subscription, so Sunday night my wife and I watched 6 episodes and finished the resining three last night. I was more than happy with the results both the characters and the dialogue as was my wife and will be looking forward to the next season. My son tells me the Jack Ryan series is also worth a look so that is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I only read the first 4 or 5 of the books, but as I recall Reacher by his nature goes to a new place in every story, so recurring characters aren't really in it. Whether that changed as the series continued I don't know. I liked the books but to me they started going over the top, out of reality, and I kind of lost interest. One man kills 15 and gets winged in the shoulder in return, etc. That's not a knock on what has proved to be a hugely successful series; just me. I watched this Prime series and liked it; they did a good job. The guy playing Reacher fills the part physically, but he's not what I'd call a great actor. I always thought Jason Statham would have been great in the role back when the Cruise movies were made, instead of Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 There are many camera angles and such to make him look taller. Not as drastic as they were with Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finagler 6853 Life Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Wife and I finished Reacher a week ago. Really enjoyed it. The thing about 9mm being subsonic? As Reacher would say, "details matter". I like the guy playing Reacher better than Cruise. However, I do believe that it is Cruise's production company doing the series. I think it is Skydance or Bad Robot. I seem to recall seeing these production companies in Tom's movies. I'm waiting for the next installmet.

It's Skydance, which has produced a number of Tom Cruise films, but does not appear to be owned by Tom Cruise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skydance_Media Bad Robot is is JJ Abram's production company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
