@D24OHA I mean it's fucked up he had to deal with those racist, but I just find it hard to get into.

So, maybe I'll give it another shot.

To each their own but that shit made me sleepy.

They hyped up this movie like it was gonna be worth the watch.

Also, they had him in woods, he's in the dark in most scenes.

They talk a lot and the action was here and there.

I tried to get into that movie.


They held back alot on the character. Fight scences was blah and he didn't kill anyone. The end sucked and the story line didn't really make sense.

He couldn't just kill the rednecks and racists because any part of him surviving would be unbelievable, during one fight scene he was put gunned like 20 to 1..... if he had started shooting, he was a dead man...... and then it would've been harder to make the arc and turn at the end more believable....

Corrupt, racist.....etc or not those were still mostly cops he had issue with.....and in the south once he was marked as open season he'd have to kill the whole damn town..... just not plausible

We saying the same thing.

I get exactly what they were trying to do. But they missed the mark

I don't think the target audience at least on here wanted or needed all that "realism".

Reacher is basically a superhero and no one gives a damn. Bourne, Wick, Rambo and even the equalizer either.

I really wouldn't have minded a new 2024 black version

it's not like THIS movie was hyper realistic either.

All that being said I still enjoyed it.

I was just thinking this......

First was Django, then Watchmen and now this.....

Is he really acting at this point? Or is he pulling a James Woods and leaning into his cacness?

You know its funny I was watching him on Kenan and he was the complete opposite lol...

That's why I liked this though.....it could've easily been the "black" Bourne or Wick or Rambo. It created its own lane.

Interesting the comments its in here. I don't agree but I also didn't see what y'all saw but now that I read it I can see you guys complaints.

I didn't see a trailer or anything so I hopped straight into the movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

I thought it was dope he whooped all these CAC's ass without actually hitting them most of the movie. :lol: They got guns and he got his hands.

It's some things I'd tweak here and there if I wanted to see something that I'd like more...first thing is the run time. I Think it would've been a better film more compact in 1 hour and 30 minutes. But I have no complaints.

I liked it too. And all your points are solid.

But for me it was lacking. I already broke it down why it missed for me.

But the lead is great. His look, his delivery of those lines was really good. Been a long time since I smiled like that from a bad ass brother making a white man tremble. Felt like the first Blade. Or Passenger 57.

I didn't FEEL anything for the most part.

The only moment I jumped was when he boots went on fire

If he can break one arm? He can break 10. If he can suplex one? Then do 5. Start snapping fingers. Breaking ribs, teeth and ankles, knees... all less lethal.

EVERYONE lived?

I mean see that part is what makes it different but I get what you're saying. I get all the complaints people have. It could've went harder. I went in expecting nothing so maybe that's why I came out a little more positive on it then some.

yeah, the show could've been better and more exciting and shorter, no need for 2hrs.

all i wanted was for that racist construction crew to go 1 v 10 with those tools and Terry go full Equalizer and take them all down and then calmly get in the back of the cruiser like nothing happened.

The sheriff would have THEN fully realized the hell his dummies had unleashed and been forced to pay off the crew who weren't going to say nothing anyway after they got whooped.

Also wanted them to search for him in the woods and get beat too.

So ummm yeah I just wanted a Black Rambo movie.

Is that too much to ask for?

Yeah easily could've been 1 hour 30 minutes though I don't even know why it was 2 hours. Think it may have been the slow build up. It hits you out the gate hard and fast then slowed down soon as he gets hit on that bike.
Netflix always tell you how long the movie gonna be when you click play.
