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.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning | Average Guy Movie Review

Two months after acquiring both halves of the cruciform key, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is ready to put an end to the Entity, once and for all. However, in that time the rogue A.I. has increased its stranglehold on cyber space and the planet. Spreading lies and misinformation, the people of the world are divided more than ever, and governments are on high alert. All of which should make it rather difficult, maybe even impossible for Ethan and his team to find a sunken Russian submarine and, use whatever they find there to kill the artificial intelligence that's slowly taking control of the world's nuclear arsenals. It is entirely possible that Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning could be the most anxiety inducing instalment of the franchise - the second half, anyway. Once again, Tom Cruise puts himself through the absolutely ludicrous in the name of entertainment... and a possible adrenaline addiction. Every scenario in which Ethan and the gang find themselves seems to be d...

Jason Bourne: Spoiler Review

I don't usually write spoiler filled reviews because I don't see the point. But considering my not so positive review of Jason Bourne, one of the most highly anticipated movies of Summer 2016, I thought it might be worth trying to explain why I reached the verdict I did. If you haven't seen this movie stop reading because there are spoilers ahead. Click here to see the spoiler free review. The movie begins with Bourne in Greece. He's laying low, making money by competing in underground fights and still struggling with his past. He lacks purpose which is making him miserable. Nicky Parsons on the other hand is busy hacking the CIA in order to expose their black ops programs. So far so good. But when Nicky finds something out about Jason's (or should I say David's) past, she heads to Greece to find him. Unfortunately her activities have drawn the attention of CIA Agent Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander), a cyber ops specialist who begins to track her. Using a ...

4DX – Is it worth it or just a gimmick?

Having watched the promo video what do you think? This week I saw Ghostbusters in 4DX and it definitely made the movie more of a ride. In fact 4DX feels like it was designed to appeal to the roller coaster crowd but will you miss the experience when watching the same movies at home? When I saw Ghostbusters for the second time I decided to view it in 4DX because I wanted to know what the "environmental effects" did for the movie going experience. If you want to know what I thought of Ghostbusters check out my Average Guy Movie Review . In my honest opinion; right now 4DX is more of a gimmick than an experience. The movement, air bursts, smoke and spraying water were more of a distraction than anything else, all of which felt out of sink with the movie. The effects like the strobe lights went off a split second before whatever they were supposed to augment happened. For example; during a subway scene, the Ghostbusters find a ghost in the tunnel who had been executed u...
