    And I'm shocked you didn't like the books, they're pretty damn good. I wouldn't consider them that similar at all, to be honest. Killing Floor, Die Trying, Tripwire, Running Blind, The Enemy, Without Fail, One Shot (AKA the movie), The Hard Way, Gone Tomorrow, Bad Luck and Trouble, hell even Worth Dying For, and the Affair are all radically different books. The Affair and The Enemy are set from when he was still in the military, and a lot of the stories are very unique plots.

    61 Hours and Echo Burning were really the only bad books.
    No, I understood that. I just always know that Reacher is 6' 5" like you said, and not as wiry as Tom Cruise.

    Its been a while since I read the books, but my recollection of them is that Reacher comes in and does the same stuff in each book. I could be wrong though as I didn't go further than 2-3 of them.

    Yeah I'd recommend reading them in order.

    Penn hasn't had a movie to my liking in awhile, but the guys a good actor.

They won't get by Miami and they'll be lucky if they can beat Boston. So since you're so high on Rose, I don't see him doing any damage at all come playoff time.

    Just saw it. I thought it was entertaining. Anyone think there could be a potential sequel?
