We all love a badass ….

Finished watching Reacher on that Prime thingy today. Most enjoyable. I’ve not read the Lee Child books and I’ve not seen the Tom Cruise films, but it’s comforting escapism to see the bad guys get their comeuppance in various nasty ways . Anyone else seen it or have a favourite badass? I thought Denzil Washington was great in The Equaliser, mostly because he didn’t look like a badass and still produced a satisfying body count

 

Started watching Reacher last night , easy watching and quite enjoying it
6’5 tank unlike Tom Cruise

Pablo Escobar in Narcos.

 

I watched 8 episodes in two days . He is a big unit isn’t he? I like the humour in it too. He has a touch of the Clint Eastwoods about him, good supporting cast.

 

Only seen clips of this. Looks good.

 

Mike Ermantraut in Breaking Bad is a good example of one of those slightly older badasses, who doesn’t look like he’d cause you much trouble but……

 

There’s a new Pablo Escobar series out but I haven’t seen it yet (not had enough me-time). The original Narcos series was good though.

Another old time badass was Henry Fonda in ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’.
You wouldn’t want to try staring him out.

 

You’re right about Clint
It’s good to Binge certainly better than watching an episode a week, then you spend wasted time recapping or you loose the plot

Read all the Jack Reacher series books- Tom Cruise just didn't do it so hope the new one is better. Go ahead punk - make my day - most Clint Eastwood heroes are good.

 

I had heard that some Lee Child fans said Cruise didn’t fit the role at all. That said, I’ve not read the books.
Oh yes, Dirty Harry , good call. He played a good older badass in Gran Torino as well.

 

Clint in Gran Torino


Get off my lawn

 

Wasn’t Clint in “The Mean Streets of East Grinstead”?

 

I heard he did a uk homage to Gran Torino , ‘XR3i’

 

I thought you were talking about @Barry Haynes for starters then realised the thread title said "bad" and not "big"!

 

fixed that for you

 

Ive very hard not to given the almost daily photographs he sends us. It’s burned into my soul now. But the meds help take the edge off it and they let me out on a Thursday morning now unescorted

 

Watched all 8 episodes and loved it. The only bit I thought that was wrong was that fight in the pool near the end. 6ft 5in 250lbs vs 5ft 7in 120lbs. Suppose it was for the drama.
