This serie comes out after the couple of Tom Cruise's films, that has been criticized due to the lack of physical presence of the actor. Now we really got the physic but the screenplay has some serious problems. I never read any of the books but I can't believe that in the books there were so many fights in which Reacher comes out without a single sign. In one of the last episodes he is hit by an iron bar several times. I can understand that adrenaline makes you go on for some time, but the day after you will not be able to have a walk for sure. It could be enough to make some fights a little more credible, some talk less predictable and it would be a good way to spend some time. I gave it 7 because some episodes, in the middle of the series, are really fine. Probably the fault is that each episode is made by different people, each one has its own director, who make the story as he wants. The last two (the final fight is terrible with the fire done by a cheap cgi) are the worst of all the serie.

Quite... terrible. If you have seen "the 13th warrior" probably you will like this. It adds more sci-fi as a plus, but it lacks in cgi (quite terrible) and in the costumes or scenography that are clearly done in the 20th century (see the John Hurt's costume in some scenes, the perfectly round well). I had some hopes finding the 6.2 on IMDB, but according to me it's not more than 5. There isn't the story from Crichton and the direction by McTiernan.

Mimmo is the adopted son of the crime family led by Santili, the patriarch. Mimmo and his cousin Manuel, legitimate son of the boss, act in a ruthless and arrogant way for the whole city, now terrified by their power. Despite everything, however, Mimmo, even if faithful to his family, would like to get out and live a quiet and peaceful life. He receives the task of bringing an escort, Tania, to his cousin's house in view of a party but falls in love with her and here his world start to collapse. I don't understand the vote on IMDB for this film. Favino is great as always, but also Gioé, Adriano Giannini (son of famous actor Giancarlo Giannini) and Scarano do their job pretty well. Ninetto Davoli is a great stepfather. But the best part is the story. No Italian cliché, no standard love story or happy ending. There is violence and blood, but that's how a noir film is. This film is gripping until the end.
