01
The scene where violence was used to fight violence was taken from the American TV series "Jack Reacher Season 2" which was just aired.
In 2022, the series "Jack Reacher" starring Alan Ritchson received unprecedented praise as soon as it was aired.
After the sequel was released this year, the Douban score soared to 8.7.
Jack Reacher was a special investigator for the United States Army.
"Big guy with great wisdom" is probably the most appropriate evaluation of Jack Reacher.
He was able to reconstruct the incident based on the autopsy report alone, and even output the profile of the perpetrator.
He can single-handedly enter the den of thieves and take the general's head, and he has all the warrior skills of hand-to-hand combat, weapon fighting, gunfighting and racing.
As wise as Banner and as fierce as Hulk.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jack Reacher is like the real-life version of "The Hulk"!
In the first season, Jack Reacher was accidentally involved in a strange case in a small town, but surprisingly discovered that the deceased was his brother.
After a thorough investigation by Reacher, he discovered that his brother's death was directly related to an international case of staggering value.
Ever since, Reacher started to play "gangster copy" alone.
From an unscrupulous policeman to a prison bully, from a South American killer to a second-generation patricide,
Reacher met violence with violence along the way, and finally destroyed the entire criminal group.
However, trouble found Reacher again.
At the beginning of the second season, the female investigator Negley who helped Reacher investigate the case in the first season found him again.
At the same time, she also brought bad news to Reacher-their common comrade Franz died unexpectedly.
During his military career, Reacher, as a commander, established a special investigation team, whose investigation focus was mainly on high-risk cases within the U.S. Army.
Both Negley and Franz, who died suddenly, were members of the Special Investigation Team.
After reading the autopsy report brought by Negli,
quickly found some key clues: Franz's cause of death was actually a fall from a high altitude, and Reacher even accurately analyzed that his comrade fell from a helicopter. of.
Not only that, although Franz was covered in bruises, Reacher judged that these bruises were all left before his death.
The perpetrator either had a deep hatred for Franz;
or he wanted to get some information out of the latter's mouth.
However, the most infuriating thing is yet to come.
After investigation, Reacher discovered that not only Franz, but also two other former members of the Special Investigation Team were also killed, and the cause of death was exactly the same as Franz.
02
Is someone seeking revenge on the Special Investigation Team?
Or are Franz and others involved in the conspiracy?
Countless questions were placed in front of Reacher, but the most urgent thing at the moment was to find the other members of the investigation team.
Because seeking revenge is not ruled out, all investigators, including Reacher, may be targets.
Fortunately, with the unremitting efforts of Reacher and Negli, the other two members also "returned" to the team.
O'Donnell is a shrewd enough guy. His excellent comprehensive ability and rich investigative experience are enough to face various sudden high-risk situations.
Dixon has outstanding appearance but is by no means a flowerpot. She has extremely keen insight into numbers and was also the chief auditor of the investigation team that year.
This time, Reacher no longer has to fight alone, but has to fight as a team.
However, the situation they faced was extremely serious: a powerful consortium was inseparable from the death of their comrades, and the three dead comrades were silenced while investigating the scandal behind them.
The other party sent killers one after another to hunt down the reorganized special investigation team.
But with Reacher's personality, he chose to fight back in a more violent way!
knew that the killer was following but did not avoid danger, and instead used terrain design to counterattack;
knew that the opponent had set up a trap but broke in forcefully, using super military capabilities to destroy the opponent.
The entire special investigation team's case-handling style was completely marked by Lei Che's personal brand, tough but delicate, strong but flexible.
Special investigators who have spent their lives walking in gray areas will even choose to use the most direct intrusion method, breaking into the consortium headquarters at midnight to collect evidence that may be relevant to the case.
However, Reacher discovered a clue that he couldn't believe - a special investigator named Swann now works for a company controlled by the real murderer.
As the investigation deepened, Reacher was surprised to find that the fog became thicker.
Could it be that Swann betrayed his former comrades for profit?
Or maybe Franz discovered some shocking conspiracy?
And how Reacher and the other three investigators will launch a desperate counterattack, the ending of the story needs to be revealed by the investigators themselves.

"Jack Reacher Season 2", Douban score 8.7. The super high score of
's new work not only catches up with the first season, but also beats the movie version by several blocks.
You must know that it was Tom Cruise who first brought "The Detective" to the big screen.
In addition to "Ethan Hunt" in "Mission: Impossible", "Detective" Jack Reacher is another character that Cruise himself is very fond of and has high hopes for.
"The Detective" comes from the best-selling novel by Lee Chad , the king of British thriller novels. The works in the same series can be said to be popular in Europe and the United States and have a wide audience.
In 2010, the film rights to "Jack Reacher" were bought out by Paramount and Tom Cruise's film company. Two years later, "Jack Reacher" starring Tom Cruise was released. In 2016, "Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back" announced its return after four years.
However, the movie version of "Jack Reacher" was not well received. Not only does the
movie have low ratings, but its plot and characters have also been criticized.
But just after Jack Reacher's story failed in theaters, the drama version of "Jack Reacher" actually received unprecedented praise after it was released.
In Tomato’s opinion, there are three reasons why the series was able to completely explode in the movie version!
First, the appearance of the male protagonist in the drama version is more advantageous.
In the original work, "The Detective" is a big man nearly 2 meters tall. Putting aside his super detective character, Jack Reacher should be an almost rhinoceros-like character.
Alan Ritchson, who plays the moderator, perfectly restored Jack Reacher's appearance.
is nearly 2 meters tall and has plenty of flesh. He has a wild temperament but is calm and restrained. The last actor to give the audience such a visual impact is Dwayne Johnson.
The international top star Tom not only suffers a big disadvantage in terms of height, but also his elegant temperament cannot be compared with the rough Reacher.
Secondly, the drama version has a more complete case story and respects the original work.
Whether it is the cross-border case in the first season or the serial murder case in this season, "Jack Reacher" has perfectly restored the novels of the same series by Lee Chad.With the support of the original novel, the depth of the plot and the complexity of the case far exceeded the audience's expectations.
It is also important to mention that the second season is a remake of Tomato's favorite work in the series-"Bad Luck and Trouble".
As for the two movies starring Tom Cruise, due to limited space, the director made extensive changes to the original works in order to tell the story well.
Objectively speaking, Tomato feels that the plot of the first part of the movie version is also quite good, but because the original series has such a wide audience, many book fans do not buy the deletions in the movie version.
Third, the scale of the action scenes in the drama version is larger.
Jack Reacher is not an elegant and wise detective like Sherlock Holmes. On the contrary, both the original book and the TV series give "The Detective" a soul like a western cowboy.
When faced with many difficulties, Reacher often chooses to deal with them in simple, direct but violent ways.
The drama version put a lot of effort into the action scenes, with fists and fists tearing the villain apart, and hard bridges and hard horsepower to break the deadlock.
There are a lot of action scenes and gun battles interspersed in the play. The explosive scenes can instantly pump up the audience's adrenaline. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the whole process is filled with the sound of broken bones. Even orthopedic surgeons can't bear to watch the scene.
On the other hand, Tom Cruise's movie version made the detective more of a replica of Ethan Hunt in "Mission: Impossible". Although he is equally capable, he is somewhat out of touch with the fierce Reacher in the original work.
In short, if you are short of dramas recently, or like hard-core detective-themed works.
The "Jack Reacher" series is definitely a choice you shouldn't miss.
