★★☆☆☆
Formulaic and Over-the-Top Violence
Every standard Reacher plot device is back: riding into town on a Greyhound bus, protecting the weak victimized old folks, winning the help and sexual favors of a woman with a glance, taking on the bad guys against impossible odds, triumphing, and riding out of town on a Greyhound bus. This adventure, however, includes the cold-blooded, calculated murder of several of the bad guys, not in the heat of battle or to avoid detection, but after disarming and disabling them. This may be my last Reacher. The books have become increasingly formulaic and dull.
