Reacher: Burial (2023)
Season 2, Episode 5
8/10
Pretty good and fun episode - except....
29 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
...the predictable scene near the end when they force that one cowardly hitman sniper that they captured to enter the building to collect his payment. It was obvious the building was going to explode (I can't even believe I am writing this, it sounds so crazy to read that back).

They should have known what was going to happen to their only lead. Of course a disposable inept hitman like that guy was going to get betrayed by this crime syndicate run by corrupt ex-law enforcement working with a world-class supervillian terrorist assassin. Did they really think anyone of importance would be waiting inside that building to pay this guy off?

I mean really.

They should have checked the building or whatever first before sending him in. Also what's up with every area in Queens NY being totally empty, like there's just buildings being shot up or blown up and not a soul around. Maybe the writers hate Queens (which is fair tbh).

Also why was the team so openly exposed at a funeral everyone in the world knew about? Like the NYPD stereotype cop had literally just told Reacher the enemy organization was filled with corrupt cops and there was probably a mole somewhere and these bad guys are sophisticated enough to steal advanced missiles but they are going to stand around in the open at a good-sized funeral

Anyway I still enjoy this, the whole season is still better than a lot of action movies out there, as unrealistic and baffling as some scenes may be.
