Who would win in a staring contest, you or Jack Reacher?
His reflexion. 😐 😂
I would. I like to stare. creepily. It's what comes after that would cause me concern, but staring, I could do that all day.
It's his stare, and his size
Would be quite even between him an Mirko CroCop
Jack Reacher 💯 I blink like Jake Gyllenhaal's Detective Loki in Prisoners.
I'm really impressed with how he remembers all his lines.
Not a single flaw in his delivery, either!
@@karlk5801 Seriously!?! Sure, if you wanted the same line reading for every single line. Likable, sure, but zero versatility.
🤣🤣😆😂
Half his lines were no 😂
they did reshoot it many times when he messed up
It can't be just me who thinks Alan Ritchson could portray Blazkowicz perfectly if they ever made a Wolfenstein series or movie! Looks and acts just like him.
... yeah, I can totally see that now that you mention it! (No sarcasm)
I thought he was the Blackowicz model/3d actor at first
That was my VERY FIRST though upon seeing him.
It never entered my mind but now I see him I think he’s fit the role perfectly
There's another actor you should consider for Mr. Blazlowicz. Till Schweiger.
What upset most was that he had that peach pie so close to his mouth and then didn't take a bite. C'mon, nobody is that tough.
lol I thought the same. I'd have stuffed as much as I could in my mouth and awkardly try to masticate it while they put me under arrest
I was thinking the same thing...lol!!
I know I’m not. if I get that close to the pie it’s going in.
Me..... but only because I wouldn't eat it to begin with.
Different pie? Different story.
That made me laugh.😄
That is badass, he just stares the guy down without saying a word. Reacher understands human psychology very well.
That and being 6' 5" does help (the actor is 6' 3").
@@0doublezero0He’s 6’2 actually
The fact he pays for the coffee and pie before getting arrested shows his character
He didn't want to give them an excuse for any theft charges.
Shoulda left his AMEX Platinum Card
Adorable Prince Hairy & his Twin Opie 2:06 Ah
he's being arrested by ukrainian americans 2:10

"Cuffs didn't fit him" is something that could never be said about Tom Cruise.
It could never be said for this guy either.
Unless Tom has tiny hands
@@edmunger5595 Having cuffed thousands of people over a 30 yr policing career, it is quite possible. Standard cuffs don’t fit large wrists: there are oversized cuffs but not every officer carried them. I arrested some guys so jacked that we had to put large cuffs on each wrist and then lock the cuffs together because they couldn’t get their arms far enough behind them.
@@prospector7409 big difference between being too wide and not being able to cuff .
@@prospector7409 I carried around leg irons for those guys who had extra large wrists and too wide for normal cuffs.
This opening scene is just so perfect. From the stare down with the twit outside that backs off from a guy that looks like he could break him in half but never says a word, to the ever so subtle way he interprets the police showing up, reviewing who else is in the diner, and realizing he's the most likely target, to the look on his face when he realizes it, is perfect.
that stare was like okay lets go without saying it
I’ve not watched the series but will now.!!!
I figured he looked around and saw the kids particularly, and thought better not resist here or the boys might get hurt or worse.
No?
He has no reason to resist. He is just silently evaluating the other people in the diner figures that he is likely to be the one arrested. He hasn't done anything wrong.@@DustyTail
The real art is that nothing is said.
Facts
I love that everything you need to know about him is set up without any dialogue. He's intimidating but has a sense of justice as he stares down that lady's boyfriend. Very clearly doesn't want to be arrested but already decides that he's gonna let them arrest him when he notices innocent civilians are present. A very impressive case of “show don't tell”
I like this introduction to his character. He's quiet but intimidating. He's also an absolute tank, and gives off an air that police with their guns would still lose to him, but doesn't get violent when there are innocents involved.
I agree 👍. That's why I almost laughed out loud when that tiny female cop threatened to take him down.
@@MrAngryGnome She didn't seriously think she could take him down but saw that the other two idiots might set him off which would have been a problem for everyone so she decided to deescalate the situation.
@@red2977 Agreed. I think she was very smart in that regard. You can also tell by her delivery of what she said that she meant it in a kind manner. You can see the look in Reacher's face because he can sense she's genuine.
I like how he pays when he figured out he's about to be arrested.
@@flemit35 yes. Was great seeing him see the cops, look around the diner, and deduce that they were there for him and still bothered to pay
Love how he evaluated the diner to try to find who the cops are pulling up for, and the immediate realization that it's him
Also, I think he was analyzing what collateral damage could occur if he resisted arrest. Innocents would be hurt so he surrendered peacefully.
A perfect lesson in "show, don't tell" storytelling, which many films seem to lack these days, despite them being visual mediums.
And also the realisation he wouldn't be able to enjoy his pie!
He was already sitting where he could see the whole diner and both doors.
No, he knew it was for him... he was assessing the causalities of he were to... resist
This is a stunning introduction to a character. It tells us so much about him, without him speaking a word.
Then he goes on to give us many moments likes these 👀 th-cam.com/video/SIVCFbFnp-c/w-d-xo.html
@@PrimeVideoUK A bit violent for my taste. I prefer that stunning introduction, which told us so much in such an economical and understated way.
I love his and roscoes first interaction. How she could see past the "scary" outer shell and is also brazen enough to challenge him. Probably helps that she made him laugh too.
She just has sense of humour and distance to herself.
Jack Reacher is the embodiment of how we wish we could react to the injustices we see around us each day. In reality getting involved directly or physically will land us in a heap of trouble or even make the situation worse for the person we’re trying to help, but Jack has the fantasy aspect of not having to worry about that.
He’s the modern day cowboy/man with no name, blowing into town and righting wrongs we day dream about fixing before disappearing with the setting sun.
I haven't watched it yet but from the restaurant scene alone shows he went quietly specifically because there was a high risk of collateral damage.
Well said and accurate cause man hearing some of the messed up stuff that happens today does aggravate me
Never be a white knight for a woman.
@@slowfudgeballs9517 I was thinking the same! They add enough discernment to his character so that immersion isn’t broken. Plus it shows he cares about the safety of others, hence his one towards the kids.
Solid writing from what I can tell!
@@Roderickthegray amen brother
What a journey Alan has had, from Smallville to a kickstarter-funded Rooster Teeth movie to some small movie roles - it's so great to see him finally have a lead in a major series that fits him so perfectly.
And Blue Mountain State!
Was great in Titans too
he'll always be Thad to me, he was perfect in BMS xD hahaha
@@colinlim4315 I can't take him seriously because of his role as Thad!
He was great in Titans as well.
After watching the first season without stopping... I can safely say they picked the very best person to portray Reacher. A great intro for both Reacher AND Roscoe.
Sadly, Roscoe didn't make it back
Even Jack understands you don't say anything to the cops. You speak to a lawyer and the lawyer will speak to the cops.
They just both end up staring at the cops without saying a word.
The only problem with this series is it’s over too soon. I can’t get enough.
i know right 8 episode should be at least 12
Couldn’t finish it-I made it to middle of episode 4 or 5.
He’s BIG but his pecs are poorly developed. He should have kept his shirt on. He needs to do super sets Or stop the steroids if he’s using them.
Where can i watch it?
You're mom can't get enough of this series either.
As someone who read all the books I can say that Ritchson perfectly captures Reachers intelligence & brutal physicality. His face is what I pictured reading the books, his state and his intelligence. Cruise did well in his version but Ritchson absolutely nails him. I loved the series so far and I hope that Amazon comission a load more series because some of the books would be perfect for an adaptation, one book per series.
The books are folksy comedies?
I agree with you definitely 💯.. This awesome portrayal is very rare.. It's outstanding !!
I wasn’t going to watch this as the trailer just didn’t hit me like I wanted it to. Your comments swayed me to give it a go lol
Wow! What a start to
the series. Now a too long wait for the next one
They already booked season 2, I never watched a complete season so fast of anything!
Amazon won when they made Alan Ritchson the main lead for this amazing show with AMAZING writing
The best way to describe how badass the hero is without a single dialogue
This guy is almost exactly how I imagined Reacher to look. At no stage did I ever think Tom Cruise could play him.
Tom did an excellent job doing Reacher!!!!! Does Alan do a better job?? FK yes!!! But dont knock Tom!!!
@@MrBonediver as people who read the books Cruise had no physical traits Reacher is supposed to have. He did a great job all the same
At no stage did anyone ask you.
Cruise is a foot too short, can't make that up no matter what.
Well, tom cruise was a "better waay" better actor for me...
The fact that Cruise, despite his size, could be so intimidating, is a testament to his acting skills.
This man, on the other hand, definitely strikes me as a former marine, and has an approachable look about him; he fits the Reacher appearance better, and now I will likely watch this when I can.
Directors skills, camera angles
Tom cruise has never been intimidating to a full sized man.
His acting doesn't appear to be too great though.....
@@UndercoverCracker cuz he doesn't HAVE to act...
I like Cruise but he isn't remotely intimidating.
I like how at 1:20 Jack quickly scans the room to see whether he can rule himself out as a possible suspect from the police's point of view. Looking at others, he realized they are here for him, and a what a disappointment that he couldn't even take a first bite.
I love the small details they throw in to show his analytical mind. The way he looks around the diner to see if anyone is worried about the police is a nice detail
Funny thing about the zip ties...a bit later they move to take them off after his alibi checked out...and he simply breaks out of them. The looks on their faces when they realized he could have gotten free at any time was priceless. Great series, but too short. Need more Reacher in my life.
"You guys recycle?"😂😂😂
reacher is superman fan 🔥❤️
Because they used household zip ties. Law enforcement zip ties are massive.
We were taught that in SERE
Read the books. Just as entertaining.
As a vet, when that cop picked up his medal at 3:06 and treated it as trash I had the same exact expression on my face Reacher did when he glared at him. I was skeptical of how Alan Ritchson would portray Reacher prior to the show but that moment right there definitely sold it for me.
Alan's dad was an Air Force chief Master Sergeant. I think he knows the game about as much as anyone can that wasn't in the military
I'd be thinking I'd want to impress that medal on the guy's forehead hard enough to leave a permanent outline.
I heard that alot of vets throw away metals. Ive heard the sacrifice they make in exchange for receiving a hunk of metal from an institution that can afford to support them for the rest of their lives, but in turn decids no to, can be taking as a bit insulting.
@@randomdude4089 I still have all mine.🤷🏿
@@randomdude4089 "An institution that can afford to support them the rest of their lives but choose not to"
Yeah...I doubt they could considering the amount of veterans there are in the country, but hey, you must know the US's military budget really well right? Nice try at seeming insightful on the subject though...
Hands down the best series on Amazon Prime. Can’t wait for Season 2.
Not even close.
Hands down???? Like its a great show but what bahahaa
Big Kudos to Alan Ritchson for bringing REACHER to Life!
Cruise was a great Reacher, but this guy is exactly how the books described him. LOL.
About a foot and a half taller
Loved this dude and the series the only problem with this reacher is that he does everything the cops tell him to , which is why I like Tom's JR better he does what he wants
Maybe Jack Reacher of the books was a big hunky man, but Tom Cruise's character was much more believable because he was smaller.
its a bit unrealistic tho how hes jacked like this.. it would take him a lot of work on nutrition and weights ... his whole life would be in the gym
Close.
Reacher is 6ft 5in tall.
The actor is 6ft 2in tall.
Chris Reeves was taller than this actor and still would’ve been an inch short of the glory.
I enjoyed both versions - movies and series.
But just imagine that proportionate girth on an actual 6ft 5in man.
I didn't know Alan Ritchson was going to be Jack Reacher, but his physicality is perfect for it.
Absolutely. When I saw they cast Tom Cruise for the movies I was so disappointed. The books clearly state that Reacher is built like Mack truck.
100%, the Cruise movie wasn’t bad if you know nothing about the books
@@mmclaurin8035 Should have cast Steven Seagal. He's 6'5, knows kungfu, and looks the part.
No need for this guy to wear lift shoes. LOL
@@craighill8251 no one takes segall seriously anymore. Serious would have been a meme if he'd headlined it.
I was really really impressed with this show and how he was able to get rid of the Thad persona he was previously tied too, can't wait for season 2.
What's a Thad?
He was Arthur Curry before this
@@Black2KGSR He was Thad, from a show called Blue Moutain State, before Arthur. Hilarious show thx to him but it was hard to see him in something serious like Reacher when you know him as Thad.
Uh-huh huh ok I' 1:04 😮😢m in@@arainbowinthedark2
Jus totally shuts dude down without saying a word!!! Epic 😎
I love how at 1:24 he knows they are there for him (the cheek twitch was nice), he leaves a big tip, never took a bite, and wants to makes sure no one gets hurt.
Yeah, the book explains Reacher’s stream of thought. He looks around the diner, sees only a doddering old couple, a couple of kids, and knows right away that the cops could have come only for him.
Would be wise to eat his cake before getting arrested; could've been his last meal if the cops were that jumpy.
@@anthonyc7279
Hate to sound pedantic, but it was pie - a slice of peach pie.
That makes him a fool! The pie looked delicious!
@@anthonyc7279 I'm with you. As soon as the cops came barreling into the parking lot, I would have shoved that pie in my face as quickly as possible. I wouldn't have been able to talk because I'd be chewing.
This is the perfect portrayal of Reacher in looks,size and manner! I pray they keep making episodes beyond the first season! All the cast members were excellent but Reacher is on another level!
season two is being filmed right now
@@ThePorkchopExpress975 bad luck and trouble
Certainly better than that elf-clown Tom cruise.
he actually said he felt he was too small and has gained over 30 pounds in muscle for season 2. absolute legend. cant wait
@@InYourFace2day that's awesome, i just finished the season and i really want more
I have read all the Lee Child Books that star Jack Reacher. When I seen Tom Cruise would play Reacher in the movie I started screaming, " No, he's to small ". Ritchson is Jack Reacher -----
Damn it, now I have to rewatch Reacher. Thanks a lot.
I really liked how at 01:15 you can see him looking around when the cops appear wondering if maybe they're there to arrest someone else but realises that's impossible and pays the bill. We can't read his thoughts as we do in the books but we understand them regardless, well done.
Seemed like he was gauging the situation, he knew they were probably here for him, just looking around to see who else was in the diner, if it was empty he may have gone for a different approach?
obviously the cops are there to arrest those kids, little bastards ...
I interpreted that part as him being decent enough to go quietly, when he saw that an innocent couple and some kids would get caught in the crossfire from potentially trigger-happy cops.
Definitely felt more like "Can I GTFO without Mr twitchy shotgun hurting someone?"
@@andrewfairbrother259 exactly, painting him immediately as a considerate protagonist without over doing the exposition
This scene was hilarious 😆 Alan didn’t even flinch the guy just apologized
I love the name. Bauer.
Built like the hulk was a smart move. He'll continue to take his bad days out on the woman though. Unless hulkbuster challenges him to another staring contest.
Wot kinda guy would even think of starting with a unit like that….
When you know you know lol
Pure calm and confidence beats nervous and aggressive. Simple.
Reacher is a HUNK. I love this guy to bits. Hurry up and bring on season 2. I’ve already watched season 1 at least 15 times.
Just going to leave this here 👀 th-cam.com/users/shorts4Z__2Ggkf14
I've got to watch this series again. Love this guy. He is so right for the Jack Reacher character. Should have made more episodes.
They're literally about to release S2 on Prime my dude
Must have taken him forever to learn his lines for this scene.
I love the fact he got that guy to tone down with just a look that is straight from the Reacher books.
He apparently read all the books to prepare for the role, that preparation paid off I'm glad to say.
LOL!
@@cookiekid7893 always nice when an actor treats the role with respect instead of just as another paycheck. This in turn leads to respect for the fanbase and the viewers.
😁
He should’ve at least taken that one bite of the pie
Came here to say I felt bad that he never had any of that pie.
He probably did after saying cut
@@PTRMAN nah, he had some, wasn’t that great 😂
as a fatty, if I was in georgia, and someone put anything even remotely resembling peach pie in front of me, and then told me it was the best peach pie, I'm pretty sure I would risk getting shot many times to get some of it inside of me. this scene gave me mouth pains.
ruined the scene for me.
The way Reacher looked at that cop when he dropped the medal 😅😅
My father loved him a piece of pie and some coffee to be sure. Back when the pie was kept there in a display case.
Alan did incredibly in this series. As did the whole cast. Had me hooked from first ep to last.
Now to wait for season 2!
Watched this season twice now. Just itching for Season 2.
Show was for low IQ folks...watch True Detective season 1 if you want to see real
talent on display
Just watched the first season, and as a fan who has read all the books, it almost brings tears to my eyes to finally see the real Reacher portrayed, all due respect to TC. They have the material to do 20 seasons, and two actors (-Ritchson plus Maxwell Jenkins as young Jack) who can grow old in the roles...wow!!!
Felt the same way. Hope we get a series for every one of Childs’ books. Loved all of the actors and Ritchson is an excellent Reacher.
Oh wow I was wondering if they did it justice
The trailer I saw made it look like a comedy
You have made my day 👍
Couldn't agree more, was more than happy with the character, Jack reacher and very impressed with all 8 episodes. Can't wait for series two.
I feel same way too. I'm wondering how fast they can roll those seasons out! 🤗🤗🤗
Yeahh you said it well
Love how he looks around the diner and sees he's the only one that the cops would be there for lol
It’s amazing how everything just happens around him
I love that first scene, sometimes it is just a real bad day and that guy knew he should have been better. It’s a real nice moment for those kinds of scenarios.
Exactly. It felt really nice that Reacher didn't just beat the guy up like protagonists would in so many other shows these days.
Yeah, Captain Marvel would have pounded him into the dirt.
As soon as she placed that heavenly slice of peach pie in front of him, I was like " man, something's going to happen and he's not going to get even one bite". He looked so happy when he was cutting into it and bringing it to his mouth too.
He had time but I guess he didn't want to have food in his mouth in case things got a little spicy
@@RecklessFables The mood was gone.
At least he got a sip of his coffee, right?
And he had better!
He only gets to eat at the very end, before leaving Margrave! Irony.
That Howling wolf fits just perfect
I watchted the series twice now. It was a pleasure.
This serial book to television is the best I've ever seen. I have read most all the Reacher books. The casting, writing and flowing plot was superb. The fact that the producers didn't insult their audience with 5-10 minute Recap every episode and maintained continuity Was Unheard-of
Thank you, I am looking so forward to the next Season
That's what happens when the creators respect the original books. We get a perfect show.
No, it objectively was not unheard of. Shows like Breaking Bad were doing recaps every episode well before this.
Given how much you like the writing here, you should try watching more than a handful of shows.
You can find this kind of writing on fanfic sites.
@@mechanomics2649 Err, did you understand the comment?
@@mechanomics2649 Lol I don't think we read the same comment
@@JohnDoe-zj6xf Lee Child was a longtime TV director and screenwriter at BBC before writing the books, so I'm sure he had very specific requirements about how he wants them done.
Rooting for this guy. Will forever love his role as Thad
WAIT A MINUTE THATS THAD????
@@grundulpunch sure is!
BMS is a classic
I'm not used to watch any series on OTT platforms, just because of Alan Ritchson, I watched the whole series. Loved his character and his physique man!
One of the best series I’ve ever watched. They adhered to the book. Smart move!
You're not wrong
I tried to watch just one episode I was going to drag the series out. Didn’t work just binged watched the entire series. Even the changes they made I thought were well done and I loved the flash backs to his child hood.
That's actually pretty accurate as to how Reacher actually looks like.
Is it on netflix?
@@ingkapatricia9446 Prime
I like the opening scene with the guy intimidating his wife. He’s tough and full off confidence when he’s asking what Reachers wants. Then that long “I will do you some serious harm” stare from Reacher and his intimidating stature has the guy cower to the point of saying “listen man I’m just having a bad day it won’t happen again”😂Smoke stack lightning playing over this scene is perfect! The big bad wolf!!!
Season two shortly, CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Alan has the looks charisma and voice to play Uncharteds Nathan Drake if he trimmed down lean. Amazing actor hope the show is renewed
He was Perfect. His Stature was insane dwarfed everything. And brilliant series, now introduction is over we know the character he is so I think they should do films with him now for rest of the books.
Yes, quite a departure from diminutive Tom Cruise.
I would rather they had stayed the course with more seasons. Getting two films in the next 5 years, or 4 eight episodes seasons...I choose the second option. Amazon is hungry for content, and they've got a solid series here. Why stop thst for a hypothetical movie that would fail and jeopardize the whole franchise? 🤔
@@khalidamajoud4114 To be honest I agree with you simply because of the Lead Actor. He is brilliant and having more series means more you got to see his badass attitude and action so forget the films and more series please.
Name of the series plz...
Just watched the new series and all I can say is F**king brilliant finally a Jack reacher that matches what iv pictured every book iv read. Great job Amazon smashed this bring on season 2 💪🏻
It’ll probably deteriorate when Amazon decides to make it go woke.
@@scottcampbell7944 just like they did with jack ryan. But for now, I will enjoy this series as Jack Reacher is supposed to be
I agree totally. Ive read all of the books and this portrayal is spot on.
Glad you've enjoyed the series!
@@scottcampbell7944 Them we enjoy while it lasts
Now this guy can play Captain America in an alternate universe. He looks the part way more than Chris Evans.I would love to see him with the Shield Uniform on. No mask just uniform.
It's the stare ... With no other response, it really rattled that punk.
Finally someone who actually looks like the guy in the book. Well done
Amen
Plus acts too. Reacher only spoke if He had too.
Attitude it's more important...
Was Tom cruises movies based on the same character?
@@Andy_Arkadata yes
" no one moves around holding just this"
Sir he's carrying way more than I ever carry on my person
That did always strike me as weird.
They were referring to the passport
No one is flying anywhere with just that
Reacher: Staring
Jotaro: Staring menacingly
His look could melt ice. I love him. 😅
They did a great job, very close to the book. Alan captures Reacher perfectly. We binge watched the whole series entirely in one sitting.
Cant wait for more, with 24+ books minus the two movies hes got a great future ahead.
I love how they introduce the love interest. She was awesome too.
I was remembering this scene earlier today. I love that there's the slightest hint of a smile forming on his face and he's trying to hide it.
Alan Ritchson was made for this role. This is a great show, expecting more seasons in the future.
This man used to be Thad Castle. He plays Reacher so well that I forgot he's known for his hysterical screaming
Man... Tom Cruise captured the intelligence of the man, but this dude most certainly has his physique. Reacher was the best of both worlds in the books. Huge, but hilariously, comically intelligent. I might have to watch this...
Tom Cruise was an utterly dreadful casting choice for this guy, idc what you say
Please watch it it is amazing he is both a monster and an intelligent human being in this
It’s worth it.
@@rambo-cambo3581 the author of the book says otherwise
Tom Cruise captured absolutely nothing of the Jack Reacher character. How could he ? Any competent actor can read a script and appear to be a very intelligent detective. Without the huge menacing physicality of the written Reacher Cruise could have been playing any anonymous character.
At last we have actor here who does the book Reacher justice. My only remark would be that he’s too pretty. He needs a few old scars and a nose that’s been broken a couple of times, but I’m not complaining !
Great scene plus howling Wolf tune make it better
This was the first show I couldn't stop watching in years.
I've read all the reacher books...he absolutely captures the essence of Reacher as portrayed by Lee Childs...
i must admit, after Tom Cruise played Reacher in the films i didnt think it was gonna be topped.....but this dude is amazing as Reacher! Im loving this
Tom Cruise was a completely unrealistic adaptation of the character. He was too small and too old.
@@josephhodges9819 YMMV. As a book reader, I didn't mind Cruise really. Sure, he didn't match the books but he conveyed the character well enough that the movies stand on their own, esp. the first one.
@@elanthys IMO the only thing he had going for himself in the movie is his name. He was in his mid-50s and did way too much. His name is the only thing that brought people out to see the movie.
@@josephhodges9819 Fair enough! Your opinion is as valid as mine and I respect that.
Your reply made me wonder, this leads to an interesting question though: Reacher is a reasonably successful book series, but would Prime still have picked it up if Cruise's notoriety hadn't brought broader awareness to it with his adaptations? We'll never really know I guess but I'm very glad they did!
I mean don't get me wrong Tom Cruise captured his personality and his mentality pretty well but physically wasn't him
Ghost Rider: "I have Penance Stare"
Jack Reacher: "Hold my peach pie"
I would love for them to do more in this series or have him also play Reacher in the movies. He fits the description of the character so much better than Tom Cruise.
This is the REAL Reacher... the one that Lee Child's been writing all these years. The big, pragmatic, no-nonsense, kick-ass, drifter-with-a-heart-of-gold.
Tom Cruise could _never_ do this kind of scene. I don't care how good an actor, you just can't pull off that stare-down when you're five-nine and a buck-forty.
You mean 5'-6"? Tom Cruise is 5'-6". No way he can cover this role as Jack Reacher again. Richardson was the right guy from the start. He should have done JR instead of Cruise when the theater movie came out.
@@rorromorro3839 OK, 5'9" with the lifts.
so your saying Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan or Jet Li couldn't do a stare down?
@@breckfoster767 Yes.
@@breckfoster767 They are talking about pure physical intimidating presence. A huge buff dude calmly staring at you may seem a lot more scary for people. But Opinions are allowed to be different. Plenty of people already said that Tom Cruise his Reacher had the Smarts down. While this Series has the Physical presence of him down.
This NEW SERIES was so faithful to the characters, story, AND atmosphere of the novel. Lee Child (author) created one of the most iconic characters in the mystery/thriller genre. Reacher stated in one book..."he was three-months old when he enlisted in the Marines..." His dad was active duty.
Gotta love that Howlin' Wolf song in the background. Bluesy and haunting. Smokestack Lightning.
I love this scene when he looks around the dinner at the people and knows yep, it's me that they are coming for.
Loved Alan Ritchson in Blue Mountain state, excited to see him in this
One of the best comedic performanes ever
My wife and I binged watched this on the weekend and it was great. We both loved Ritchson in the role and he had the right kind of humor you find in the books.
Lol i watched the whe series in a day, couldnt stop watching it.
Alan Ritchson’s Not Gonna Talk
Watched this 4 times. Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for the next series.
As a 37 year marine veteran I’ve always enjoyed reading AND relating to the stories that Lee Child brings in his writings.
Looking forward to More movies and stories….thank you Mr. Child!
Semper Fi and go Navy beat Army!👍🏽🇺🇸
This is who I pictured when reading the reacher books
Great game this past season. Almost identical records in opposite w/l columns. I loved it!
@@johnlarsen5273 I pictured Reacher a little less pretty and a little older.
Thank you for your service, sir! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Absolute casting perfection. Ritchson is young enough to do at least another 10 seasons, I hope he sticks with it and rides this gravy train to the limit.
Beauty never lasts.
Alan Ritchson is THE PERFECT Reacher, it’s how I saw him in the books!
I love the detail of the cops shaking a little bit when staring down Reacher, while he's cool as a cucumber. Sure, the police have guns and outnumber him, but they're the ones that seem afraid.
1:51 You know you're a badass when the guy holding a shotgun on you is the nervous one.
Excellent season! Well done, Amazon, for bringing us a proper Reacher, just like the books. Can’t wait for the following seasons!
I just finished this series yesterday. Can't wait to see another season.
bro whats this movies name is please tellme
"Listen man, I'm just having a bad day." Whew, truer words have never been spoken.
He has The Look that speaks volumes…
Cannot wait for season 2 and hopefully many many more seasons to come. Alan Ritchson is absolutely perfect for Reacher. Now if only someone (PRIME) could figure out how to put a Dirk Pitt series together. Pitt deserves his due.
yes
Brother from another mother... Both the Dirk Pitt and Jack Reacher series are my faves, and I've been waiting years to see Pitt onscreen.
2 comes in dec
trailer is out ENJOY
Have you read the Elvis Cole books ?
He was born to play Jack Reacher if you've read the books you would understand this scenario even more
This show is excellent! There needs to be 10 more seasons. Please make it happen Amazon. This is a big hit. I loved the first season.
There are 27 books you know! 26 more seasons!
Name of the series
@@shiblekhan2825 You noticed someone else made the exact same comment too, huh?
It's a great show but if it got 10 season's it'd likely go down in quality
Yes, cancel the rings of power and do this.
Can’t wait for season 2,3,4,5,6,7 and so on. Alan is the perfect choice to portray Reacher.
