My rating: 4 of 5 stars
He’s tough. He’s on the wrong side of the law. He wrongs rights when rights have been wronged. He’s Jack Reacher, um sorry, James Bishop. But does it matter if it’s all been done before. Not really, because this is edge of the seat stuff, as he returns for a second adventure. “In a small, sleepy Pennsylvania town, the staff of a loan store find themselves at the mercy of a gunman who demands they hand over the store’s entire cash reserves. But when the sound of police sirens shatters the silence sooner than expected, the robber is forced to take a young female customer hostage in order to make his escape.”
Former marine James Bishop to head down some dead ends, bust open some heads, throw in some “ooh, I never saw that” twists. There’s a female police officer who doesn’t mind bending the rules, because she’s out there on the edge, and an array of broken bones. It follows the template perfectly, but there is nothing wrong with a good old fashioned action romp that does exactly what it says on the tin.
