Navy SEAL Commander James Reece turns to vengeance as he investigates the mysterious forces behind the murder of his entire platoon. Free from the military’s command structure, Reece applies the lessons he’s learned from nearly two decades of warfare to hunt down the people responsible.
The Mrs. and I just finished episode 5, and we are enjoying it.
Binged it Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
Why don’t they make a movie out of it? I don’t have Amazon Prime but I love to go to a GOOD movie.
Thanks for the review. I was intrigued based on the preview for the series. Also liked Chris Pratt in the Amazon Prime movie “The Tomorrow War”.
I’m on the 2nd episode now. So far it’s very good.
Hubby and I just finished the 8th and last episode. It was awesome! Hope they continue and make another season from the second book in the series.
Howabout the book instead?
Me too. Now you have me thinking about getting the book. In fact there are 5 books in this series. I hope they do the other 4 in a tv series the same way as this first one.
Read all the books. Had to take the Prime series with a grain of salt though. What you saw Reese do on Prime was nothing compared to the absolute vulgar display of violence depicted in the books. They toned it down a bunch.
I’m horrified to see what Netflix will do with The Gray Man. I sincerely hope they stay with the books which were written more like a movie scripts.
I was reminded of the Jack Reacher series but more military less civilian.
I just read the synopsis of the second book, “True Believer”, and it looks like Reese resolves the medical issue he had in Book 1. I don’t want to say more as a spoiler.
“They toned it down a bunch.”
I watched one of those Hallmark Mystery movies, right after I read the book. I was very surprised at how much tamer the movie was. They made it a lot less gruesome and scary.
Just finished it.
Good story line and good acting.
Hopefully they develop a storyline for a 2nd season.
Based on a book. Needed a mini series to do it justice. Binged it this weekend. Very good.
Was curious about this. Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I put it on my watchlist. Went back and have been binge watching H50 Classic with Jack Lord since it’s from my child and teen years.
The series I would LOVE for someone to get going with were the Vince Flynn Mitch Rapp books. I would love to see Rapp on screen - totally NON-PC Woke crap - find bad guys, kill bad guys. Period. Foreign or domestic.
They only made American Assassin.
Really great!
Just started today. Watching episode 2 right now.
Episode 1 now. Thanks.
It is too long for a movie in the theaters.
