I have read all the Mitch Rapp books twice, absolutely love them. I have been waiting patently for several years for the Mitch Rapp movie to come out.
I just watched the preview and it appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the books. The only thing common appears to be names. I hate it when Hollywood ruins a good book. Same thing they done with Shooter. What a shame. |

Then read Lee Child and the Jack Reacher series: bad books, bad movies, badness all around. |

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I very much enjoy the Lee Child books as well. But they don't seem to be much like the book either.
Obviously I haven't seen the movie, but even the part of his parents and girlfriends death. His dad died of a heart attack when he was young and he grew up without them. In the preview it shows his parents die in a car crash and his girlfriend gets shot by terrorists. When if fact she dies in a plan crash. They can do what they want I suppose, they know what makes movies good and what sells. Just disappointing to me. |

They're like an action-adventure version of Nick Evans (Horse Whisperer) stories. I read one my wife had lying around, threw up and proceeded with caution ever since.
