This is the second installment in the Jack Reacher franchise, and I have to admit that I was really excited to see this film! The intro did not disappoint. It was funny and straight to the point. Jack Reacher, 4-5 knuckleheads on the ground, corrupt sheriffs, you get the story.

From here we see an unusual turn off events. It seems that Reacher, instead of flying solo, with the occasional checking in with the “client”, had been working very closely with a Major Susan Turner (brought to us by the lovely and talented Cobie Smulders) regarding this case and it is more than hinted at that there is some interest brewing between the two of them. This, however, has very little to do with the story but serves as a nice sub-plot.

Reacher makes his way to D.C. so as to meet up with the Major only to find that she has been relieved of her duty and that he is set to be arrested. One of the charges is, of all things, child support. For me,this seemed kind of weird and out of place, yet it did bring the appropriate shock. The story continues from there. There is a pretty well laid out govt conspiracy, plenty of chases, as well as gun play. I thought that the relationship between Reacher and the Major had just the right amount of tension as well as symbiosis, and for those who don’t know there is another player on the field who, while being effective and edgy, is terribly annoying (at least for me).

Personality, I liked the first one a little better, but this one does stand alone and had some really funny moments amidst the action.

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
