Maybe I need to branch out.
When I think of him the Taken franchise comes to mind... which in my opinion, not well suited, not great movies. Don't personally feel he was a believable character.

They are all purposed for hard working all day meat packing Americans needing a brain reset after all day of intellect challenging work.

  Amongst those let's add Reacher perhaps, but Taken would fall to the very bottom.
  None great movies for sure, mindless movies after a week at the office. For my taste Reacher would come out of top, hmm... the other 2 pretty close. Both a bit more violent than I prefer.

    I read a few of the Reacher books.....just can't watch the movies with Tom Cruise. Unlike many others, I don't hate Cruise, but...Reacher??...NFW!

    these days. It's all coming to a really stoopid head of cookie cutter choreography
    combined with myriad and "inventive" ways to kill people with some name (any
    name) star leading the way amongst occasionally interesting or entertaining
    cinematography. Moments of impressiveness and many minutes of something else.
    
    Bob Odenkirk done drank from the the huge Hollywood Kool Aid Dispenser, which
    seems like the deep, replenishing, trendy well there.
    
    Good waste of his talents.
    
    At least Jack Reacher is out of Tom Cruises' grip. The series is good.

      Can't disagree with your 1st paragraph.
      I don't think I've ever seen anything with Bob Odenkirk in it (had to look him up to see who he was), so can't comment on that.
