on 02025-09-06#video of a Jack Reacher clip from the series, meeting with his “client”, pretending to be a lawyer, about counterfeiting. Then pretending (?) to be a federal investigator. Then he uses his tie to strangle the guy sent to kill him with, oddly, a knife, but only strangles him for 21 seconds, which doesn’t seem like nearly long enough. Perhaps this dramatic license will save a few lives when real-life criminals try to imitate him. #fiction
