This series is terrible, I was really looking forward to it, especially having an actor that looked like the book Reacher. But I guess I see why Cruise gets the big bucks, he may be a small man, but he fills the screen better than Ritchson who is so wooden it is painfull.

The people who prefer this to the films are very strange indeed.

The first time I caught this film I turned it off quite early, as I found it too upsetting, (only the second film to do this to me). The second time I was prepared and got through the scene in question and so glad I did. The plot can seem absurd on the surface, but that only amplifies the messages it conveys. It was several years ago that I watched it yet it is embedded on my psyche and I often think about it to this day in a way only a handful of films have. I also rate The Godfather as a 10, but it doesn't haunt me the way this film does.

You are following the story of a group of friends, beautifully acted and directed, which engages you as a good drama should, only at the end (when she says the final lines) did it dawn on me that I had just watched humanity under a microscope. I couldn't see the wood for the trees, till this story lifted me up and let me see it whole. Uplifting.
