REACHER Season 2 | Moustache Trailer Reaction

Once again Lee Child's literary character leaps from the page to the screen in the trailer for Reacher season 2. Check it out below.

After introducing a new take on Jack Reacher - one much closer to Lee Child's vision - with a clever adaptation of the first novel Killing Floor, Alan Ritchson is back as the drifter/ex-military cop. It's a role he handles very well - both in performance and stature - and if the trailer is anything to go by Reacher's more unstoppable than ever! Watching him take care of a car jacker with extreme efficiency is not only incredibly enjoyable, it perfectly captures what fans love about this character.

The second season is based on one of my favourite of the Reacher novels; Bad Luck and Trouble. Once again they've chosen a book in which Reacher has a personal stake in the situation, something that goes way beyond his everyday hatred of bad people - like the aforementioned car jacker. When members of his old team start showing up dead, Reacher and Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) assemble the surviving members of the 110th MP Special Investigators - Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan) and David O'Donnell (Shaun Sipos) - to track down the killers and dispense some of their own justice.

Recognisable moments from the book are certainly present, like a certain helicopter and a smash and grab raid on an office building. But it would appear that the showrunners have also tried to put a fresh spin on the story - something that certainly worked out well with the first season. What really stands out however, is the team dynamic. They look and sound like team mates. Already there's a hint that they're comfortable with each other, their characters slipping back into old roles. And the banter is a lot of fun, too. Seeing Reacher with them is clearly going to be a highlight.

I personally can't wait for this. I didn't need to see a trailer to be excited, but now I have (several times) and I have very high hopes for season 2. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, not to mention fast paced and action-packed - possibly more so than season 1 (we'll see).

The first three episodes will debut on Amazon Prime on 15th December, and the remaining five will air one a week every Friday.

The Suicide Squad | Average Guy Movie Review

A new batch of convicts - as well as a few originals - are under the thumb of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), who's once again offering years off their prison sentences in return for completing a few jobs for Uncle Sam. This time she's sending them to the island nation of Corto Maltese. There they must infiltrate the capital and destroy a top secret research facility. Sounds easy enough. Task Force X is back, and with James Gunn at the helm things are madder than ever! The Guardians of the Galaxy director has taken what David Ayer started and blown the roof off of it. But he has done so in a way that is respectful of what has gone before. Fans of the original (of which there are apparently few) will have no trouble going from Suicide Squad to The Suicide Squad . And yet, the new movie stands quite happily on it's own two feet. Rather than making them drastically different, the returning characters simply feel like they have grown a bit. Well, maybe not grown, but adapted, t

Operation Market Garden Anniversary 2016

The John Frost Bridge at Arnhem (from my visit in 2013) 72 years ago today, Allied troops set off on what could be one of the boldest missions of World War 2, Operation Market Garden. Developed by Field Marshall Montgomery, the plan was to advance into Nazi occupied Holland and develop a bridgehead over the River Rhine into Germany. There were two parts to the operation: Market (Airborne) Garden (Ground Forces) In what was the largest airborne operation of the war, paratroopers and glider troops had the job of securing bridges at Eindhoven (US 101st Airborne), Nijmegen (US 82nd Airborne) and Arnhem (British 1st Airborne). The ground forces, made up of the British XXX Corp had to advance up a single highway through Holland, linking up with the airborne forces as they went. In honour of the anniversary of Operation Market Garden we look back at some of the movies and TV Shows that tell the story of the Allies ill-fated attempt to end the war by Christmas 1944.
