The Terminal List
The Terminal List Cast: Chris Pratt, Constance Wu
The Terminal List Creator: David Digilio (Jack Carr novel)
The Terminal List Stars: 2/5
In terms of performances, while Chris Pratt tries to make Reece come across as a man of seeking justice and standing up against a powerful system, there's nothing impactful about his performance and despite him having a hit list on his hands, he's no Arya Stark (Game of Thrones) who could send chills down your spines with just the recitation and no amount of violence. Constance Wu who plays the journalist on the show seems a tad wasted here and the actress who is known to have played characters with a sharp wit in the past, seems underused here. Among the most impressive performances in the show its that from Taylor Kitsch as Ben. Riley Keough is also another star that seems grossly underused in the show.
The Terminal List all in all comes across as a massive disappointment given that it doesn't promise anything new but rather overrides the tropes of a genre that is already full of American heroes who put duty above everything else. The show makes for a dull watch that seems heavy in terms of an eight-hour investment considering the takeaways are too less.
