A beautiful exploration of faith, human flaws, and how best to overcome them. Very dark at times, but a genuinely hopeful ending.

Fun quick romp. Reacher gets dragged into Mafia shenanigans because he sees a guy about to be robbed on his Greyhound bus and then
proceeds to murder his way across town, unknowingly playing the Albanian and Ukrainian mafia bosses against each other by taking out some of their men and making them think the other is doing it.

It was pretty obvious in the first few scenes where this was going and its a fun little ride once you accept that, yes, the main character is gonna
put his entire head inside the sex workers vagina and he won't be dissuaded from it,
even if it kills him. 

The ending was a fun little twist with the sex-worker finding the whole thing reawakening her tragedy-suppressed mothering-instincts and
then deciding to keep the guy as her baby.
Ngl, did not see that coming haha.
