Reacher: Burial (2023)
very disappointing
This episode is probably the worst of Season 2 so far, and I reached a point to finally write a review. The dialog is boring; the plot is predictable; many scenes are unrealistic and unbelievable. Reacher 2 is quickly turning to some cheap Kongfu show. Lazy writing is the prime factor to blame, but the whole story so far is also very lame and unsurprising. Why would the bad guy hire two very green shooters that cannot even shoot in such short distance? Any experienced shooter can easily take out Reacher and friends if they are exposed in the funeral? Come on, is this Reacher or it is quickly turning into Superman/Ironman series?
Wayne (2019)
in the name of love
This is a problematic kid who only knows resorting to extreme measures to solve problems, but ironically he is not even good at it. He is weak, got beating a lot, and yet he seems dumb enough to keep going at it. I had trouble in picturing such a kid, which is so unrealistic. The series tried to explain all these unacceptable behaviors out of "love" for his dad, friend and the girl Del. This is so lame, as I bet the worst criminals cared for someone or something, too. I was attracted to the show because it has an unusual style, but in the end I felt disgusted as I had to conclude Wayne is just a jerk, and his dad was a bigger jerk. Both of them deserve what they had. This is more like a story of a loving father saving his daughter from a stupid, violent, and weak boyfriend.
The Nightingale (2018)
ridiculous story
I guess the protagonist (the woman) and her husband both are super stupid. The story just doesn't make any sense. I had to turn it off in the mid of the movie as the woman suddenly became a superwoman in spirit yet with no killing skill at all.
