Jack Reacher in the movie; Jack Reacher as well as in the novels is a problematic hero. Although he is fighting crime and taking down criminals, he is killing a lot of people while doing it and in some disturbing ways. He goes after these criminals without acknowledging the law.
James Bond is also like Jack Reacher. Even though he works for England's secret service and has a "license to kill". A lot of the times he kills even though he doesn't need to. He also doesn't like to listen to authority and goes off the grid.
Interesting examples. I'm shocked, of course, that you don't show Sean Connery as James Bond. But that reaction probably only dates me.
ReplyDeleteI like the Jack Reacher example and it is an interesting choice. I also have to agree with Dr. Knorr on the Sean Connery James Bond.
