.ShaneRyanHere reviews TulsaKing, saying 'If you're in the market for Stallone in a role that can best be described as 'Jack Reacher, but old and Italian,' you're going to have some fun.'
—seemed almost too good to be true, and I’m sorry to bear the bad news that, well… it absolutely is. The reality of Paramount+’sdoesn’t match up to the promise, and that has to be the headline here. But if you’re in the market for Stallone in a role that can best be described as “Jack Reacher, but old and Italian,” you’re going to have some fun. And in the current TV landscape, you could do a lot worse than a good time.
Which, again, is not the worst thing in the world, provided you weren’t expecting world class drama. Unfortunately, that’s sort of what Iexpecting, and when you’re in that boat, it gets tough to appreciate the consolation prize of whatreally is. It’s not all Stallone’s fault, either; the plotting is rough.
And now that we’ve established the shortcomings, it is worth recognizing that it’s pretty fun to watch Stallone kick some ass. He’s not a “good guy” here, but the plot isn’t substantial enough to make that a big deal, and when he punches up a car dealer who won’t sell to Tyson because he thinks he’s a drug dealer, or breaks the jaw of a wiseguy shit-talking him, it delivers those satisfying Reacher jolts.
