I tried the blinking thing and couldn't do it. Maybe it works in books or movies. I can't see it in real life.

And speaking of real life, the story itself was gibberish. I won't give any spoilers, but it involved various government agencies doing truly irrational things. Yeah, I know. That goes over big here. But it just didn't hang together.

That said, when it came time for Reacher to be Reacher, he didn't disappoint.

And, by the way, Tom Cruise is not Jack Reacher, and I won't see the movie.
