This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.

There's a Futurama episode where they do this!

That's Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

Jack Reacher was a great movie, with really inspired combat scenes depicting the most realistic special forces/Jeet kun do type moves that I've ever seen in movies. Jack Reacher two was a pile of garbage, so I never bothered with the show. Is it any good?

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.

The show is amazing! I highly recommend it.

I agree completely with the assessment of the movies too. The first one was a great mystery with a cool plot and action... and the second movie was hot garbage.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Well that's exciting to hear! I'll definitely check it out now. Thank you!

The show is really good, and no offense to Cruise, but Ritchson is a much scarier looking dude.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I liked that he didn't look scary, but was very dangerous. There are a lot of real people like that.

I thought Jim from The Office did the best job playing the character.

The sexiest man of 2024?

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

He's not allowed to do that anymore, after he broke the first three.

Actually I'm imagining a heist movie where this guy's makes a scene as a diversion while Tom Cruise steals some jewels or something. I'd watch that.
