Added DiffLines:

* LightningBruiser: The movie version of Reacher is noticeably faster and more agile than his literary counterpart, who can deliver lightning-fast blows but is described as a slow and heavy runner. Given who he's played by, this is hardly out of place.

* GenreBlind: Sam has apparently never watched a single crime or conspiracy movie in her life. She knows she's on the run from a bunch of very resourceful bad guys that want her dead, yet she can't resist using her damn cellphone to send an SMS, which of course puts the bad guys she, Turner and Reacher had just lost back on their trail. Later she one-ups herself by using a stolen credit card to pay for her hotel's room service. Needless to say the Hunter and his cronies crash the place minutes later.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: The final fight between Reacher and the Hunter begins with Sam disarming the Hunter before Reacher tackles him off the roof. Both the Hunter's and Reacher's guns remain up there with Sam and, more importantly, Turner, loaded and free for the taking. Why the badass major doesn't just grab one to give the Hunter six meters below her an acute case of lead poisoning instead of letting him beat the crap out of Reacher is anyone's guess.
