The Terminal List

The series is an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Jack Carr, a former Navy SEAL himself.

The Terminal List is eight episodes in total, each around an hour in length. Otherwise, if you’ve liked Pratt in other military roles - think closer to his part in Zero Dark Thirty, rather than Jurassic World or Guardians of the Galaxy - this seems like a safe bet too. It was written by Jack Carr, himself a former Navy SEAL, and was published in 2018. Chris Pratt stars as James Reece, a Navy SEAL with memory problems. As new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him, endangering not only his life but the lives of those he loves.” - Reece takes steps to avenge them, crossing names off his terminal list one by one.

There has been one book a year since the first one in 2018. That does mean there's more source material for the writers to follow if Chris Pratt will reprise ...

There is some hope of The Terminal List Season 2, though. The Terminal List is one of those stories. Is The Terminal List Season 2 going to happen?

This is a non-spoiler review for all eight episodes of The Terminal List, which premieres Friday, July 1 on Amazon Prime Video.

Having worked with Pratt on 2016's Magnificent Seven remake, and also helmed soldier potboilers Shooter and Tears of the Sun, Fuqua knows how to do clear, blunt, and direct action and the fact that The Terminal List sticks to its reckoning-driven guns is a boon for simplicity's sake. This odyssey gives Reece, and the story, a series of kills that allows for action, intrigue, and for Reece's quest to become more desperate and foreboding. The first two episodes lean heavily into Reece -- back on U.S. soil after a disastrous op leaves everyone on his team KIA except him -- being a very disturbed and unreliable narrator. Antoine Fuqua, of Training Day and Equalizer films fame, executive produces along with Pratt and showrunner David DiGilio and also directs the first episode. Because Pratt is naturally charismatic -- a trait which he's chosen, for whatever reason, to curtail in recent years (even progressively throughout the Jurassic World trilogy) -- protagonist James Reece shines through with more life and light than you'd usually find in a character who's basically Frank Castle. That being said, it's glaringly obvious that Pratt's strengths are not on full display here, despite him being able to swap in for a gung-ho John Rambo type. It also kind of draws things out past the point of being engaging as you may go snow blind amidst the single-minded savagery.

Starring Chris Pratt (Jurassic World), the thriller adapts the Jack Carr novel of the same name and follows James Reese, the sole survivor of a Navy SEAL ...

The Terminal List is based on one of five titles in the James Reece series. The sequel novel follows Reece after the events of The Terminal List. Now that he’s one of America’s most wanted domestic terrorists, Reece emerges in Mozambique where he’s taken shelter with the family of one of his fallen comrades. DiGilio mentioned the writing team has a “roadmap” for “each season” ahead of them. The Terminal List certainly has enough revenge and gunfire to sustain itself for a singular season, but could a second installment be on the horizon? If The Terminal List is successful, it could run for at least five seasons. It makes sense since the show adapts the first book of a five-book series.

Amazon has flexed its muscles with military-style action series (see "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" and "Reacher"), but "The Terminal List" adds a numbingly ...

That road doesn't exactly follow a straight path, more like a dotted one, with occasional detours to go kill people who emerge as responsible for or complicit in the plot. Still, with so many superior options leaving this dead-end series off your "watch" list won't amount to missing much. Adapted from a novel by Jack Carr, the series features Pratt as James Reece, a hard-driving Navy SEAL whose platoon is ambushed and decimated during a covert mission.

Viewers will have as hard a time remembering what's going on as the heavily concussed Navy Seal at the centre of this thriller.

Those with an appetite for the Jacks (Reacher and Ryan) will find something to enjoy in the violent infallibility of Reece. There is plenty of skull cracking and head shots. And the whole thing is desperately masculine. Chris Pratt, the square-jawed, dead-eyed star of Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, is Navy Seal Commander James Reece (“One rowdy motherf***er,” Pratt says, on the blurb to one of Jack Carr’s novels that has been adapted for this series). The show opens with Reece on a mission in Syria that goes FUBAR, resulting in the deaths of his entire unit. Reece himself is severely concussed and returns to the United States a blurry mess; his memories of what happened in the submerged crypt in Syria do not align with those presented to him by the authorities. Pratt is a strange leading man, the product more of the masculine desire for reinvention (he was slightly soft around the edges in Parks & Recreation, now he’s ripped – so you could be too!) than any discernible talent. It is in this vein that the latest recruitment initiative for American imperialism arrives on our screens, in the form of new Amazon thriller, The Terminal List.

Based on a novel by retired Navy SEAL Jack Carr, “The Terminal List,” premiering Friday on Prime Video, stars Chris Pratt — in grim-visaged, square-jawed, ...

(“It would be a mistake to push a man to violence if violence is what he has dedicated his life to perfecting,” says Reece, a man without second thoughts.) Still, we are meant to side with him, more or less uncritically — it’s the only way to make it through this journey — and it helps, of course, that the people on his hit list are generally unsympathetic, when not downright disgusting. (“It’s time you let justice take it from here.” “I am justice.”) He’s set on leaving his enemies dead, face to face if possible, dispatching them through a variety of methods in order to keep things from getting too repetitious. Reece, who has additional reasons to be angry I won’t enumerate — but which are common to the genre — becomes a ghost, both to kill anyone who might be coming for him, and everyone he deems responsible for his situation. With a pilot directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day,” “The Guilty”), production values are high; the action scenes are well staged. There isn’t much to say in detail that doesn’t constitute a spoiler, but Carr and his adapters enlist an unusually wide array of players to share the blame. Based on a novel by retired Navy SEAL Jack Carr, “The Terminal List,” premiering Friday on Prime Video, stars Chris Pratt — in grim-visaged, square-jawed, gravel-voiced mode — as Navy SEAL commander James Reece, a man with a mission and the guns to carry it out.

“The Terminal List” premieres on Prime Video on Friday, July 1. The series stars “Jurassic World” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” actor Chris Pratt.

He tells Metro.co.uk exclusively that the live action series will take a “closer look at the psychology of James Reece.” “Navy SEAL Commander James Reece turns to vengeance as he investigates the mysterious forces behind the murder of his entire platoon,” the official description reads. “The Terminal List” premieres on Prime Video on Friday, July 1.

The Terminal List is the newest arrival on Amazon Prime Video and if all goes to plan, the series could return for season 2 and beyond.

Dave Gilio elucidated further, saying: “Yeah, we have a roadmap for each season ahead of us. The Terminal List is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now after releasing on Friday, July 1st, 2022. With fans binging their way through the new episodes, attention is quickly turning to what the future may hold and it could well be bright as The Terminal List is a show that has the potential for season 2 and beyond.

Chris Pratt plays a traumatized Navy SEAL convinced he's wrapped up in a conspiracy in the Amazon Prime Video series The Terminal List.

“The Terminal List” is not a particularly fun ride, but it is a ride, like one you might settle for at Disneyland because it doesn’t have a line. But again, this is Reece’s story, and Pratt’s show, and this man still has lots and lots more people to kill. It also doesn’t help that Chris Pratt is so front and center as a man on a ruthless killing spree, considering his recent desperations to dispel any rumors that might make him unlikable. Katie is a helpful tool, offering him info that he needs to add another name to his list, but the show takes too long for her to come into her own. She knows for a fact what Reece is doing, but she soon joins him on some level of his paranoia and gets far more involved than is safe for her. Hurt, angry, betrayed by the people he dedicated his life to serving and armed to the teeth, Reece sets out to complete an ever-evolving list of people to dispose of while he hunts for the truth.

Following today's big premiere, can you expect The Terminal List season 2 to happen at Amazon Prime? Or, is this it?

There is going to be potential for something more down the road, and it really just comes down to what the folks at the streaming service want to do. However, there is a good chance for more down the road. There are a few things to look at within this piece.

The Terminal List ending explained - Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch's explosive Amazon Prime Video series has come to a close, but what does that ending ...

With both her parents by her side Lucy is able to accept the harsh realities of his job. Soon after, he is able to fully recall the memory he has been struggling to remember all along. He knows this will make little difference to Reece, telling him: "It's OK. Let's finish the list." Reece ceases all communication with Katie, but not before she gives him the final piece of the puzzle. Hartley detains her but Katie becomes the least of her worries. Katie's interrogation forces Hartley to admit the truth. Based on a novel of the same name by Jack Carr, Pratt's character James Reece is on a mission to find the truth after he returns home from a Navy SEALs operation gone terribly wrong. He tells Reece "I thought, let them die with their fucking boots on" rather than in a hospital bed. Katie's thirst for the story compels her to do just that. They were given pills as part of their health care programme, which were designed to prevent PTSD in soldiers, but the experiment failed giving all of Alpha Platoon fatal tumours. Meanwhile FBI agent Tony (JD Pardo) - who was previously gung-ho about securing Reece's capture - begins to doubt who the real villains are. Reece has arrived and is intent on killing her.

Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch, Riley Keough and Jeanne Tripplehorn also star in the series adapted from Jack Carr's novel.

But then the story devolves in the back half of the first episode, with Reece speculating to Ben about how Boozer couldn’t possibly have killed himself with the team 9mm, because he hated using it instead of his much bigger .45, then the improbable MRI attack that seemingly comes out of nowhere. As usual in military-focused dramas like these, the dialogue is weighed down by unexplained military jargon and lots of yelling and grunting. As he discovers he has gaps in his memory, how will Reece try to resolve what he knows about his platoon with what really happened? When we see Reece going through his memories of the operation, and where they conflict with what his superiors and NCIS investigators are telling him, it’s an intriguing start to the story. When Lauren asks if Buranek wants tea, the reporter cracks, “You’ve got something stronger?” Even the usually funny Constance Wu can’t make that lame line come to life. But what confuses us about the first episode is that we’re not sure if the series is trying to be a prestige take on the usual uber-masculine military intelligence thriller genre or a standard-grade conspiracy thriller stretched out to eight very dark episodes. He has his best friend and former SEAL Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) start to look into the ambush, because he truly thinks that their unit was a victim of advanced deep fake technology. Wu is supposed to be a hard-nosed, activist reporter, but whenever she’s on screen we just want to see her in more comedies like Just Off The Boat or Crazy Rich Asians. He tells her that neither him or “Boozer” Vickers (Jared Shaw), who is sitting next to him and is the only other team member to live through the operation, won’t talk. It doesn’t help that we have both Pratt and Wu out of their elements here. Chris Pratt has spent the better part of the last eight years leaving the doughy comic nice guy persona of Parks and Rec‘s Andy Dwight behind and becoming a jacked, square-jawed but jovial action star. Then, in a panic, one SEAL, Donny Mitchell (Patrick Schwarzenegger) sets off the trip wire while running.

Music plays a key role in any TV series and the same can be said of Prime Video's The Terminal List but which songs feature in its soundtrack?

“I think that, actually, those comparisons are welcome.” “Any time you step away from your number one on the call sheet, you need to land with actors and actresses who are number ones in their own right.” “And that’s what Jack Carr’s novel, and this show, does better, I think, than anything else before is it’s a look inside the warrior class,” DiGilio says.

And while Pratt makes for a serviceable killing machine, it would have made for a stronger series if he’d been given the space to dive deeper into his character’s maelstrom of a psyche. It’s an interesting premise, not least because the first 15 minutes of The Terminal List is devoted to the chaotic shoot-out that triggers the plot. Based on a book by real-life Seal Jack Carr, The Terminal List stars Chris Pratt as Reece, a soldier whose mind is deeply shaken by the death of a dozen soldiers from his unit on a mission that goes disastrously wrong.

Based on the novel by Jack Carr, The Terminal List is the debut novel featuring protagonist Commander James Reece (Chris Pratt), a former Navy SEAL who goes on a mission of revenge when he discovers a conspiracy that goes deep into the upper levels of government that brings tragedy to his family and teammates.

I think if there's any kind of guard that you typically have up when you're meeting a new person – in the pursuit of creating an honest and authentic bond, we let that down right away. "In between takes, you try to find— you know, it's light. It's easy to work with him, and we have a great cadence together.

The team hired real special ops members to appear in a major combat scene and also employed former troops behind-the-scenes in a variety of roles.

He had questioned whether attempting a career in Hollywood was realistic. “They wake up and look for work to get done,” he said. “They fit great,” he said. Shaw was added as an associate producer and also has a role in the show. It’s very similar in a chain of command. When Reece returns home, he begins to question both his memories of what happened and the world around him.

There is some bad news when it comes to streaming the eight-episode series. Something major would need to happen for Prime Video to even consider handing streaming rights to Netflix at this point. The Terminal List is one of the latest.

Going undercover is a lot of hard work. Check out this handpicked list of exciting shows to follow up your binge of The Terminal List.

We've seen him playing eccentric characters in films like Borat and The Dictator. To see Cohen take on a role that is 180 degrees different from his usual comedic tropes is a surprising breath of fresh air. The Night Manager revolves around Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), a former British soldier who now works as the night manager of an exclusive luxury hotel in Cairo. Pine is involved with a local woman, who happens to be the girlfriend of a local gangster. A massive portion of the show's storyline is adapted from the book "The Spy Who Came from Israel," which details the spy's years under espionage leading up to the Israel-Syria Six-Day War in 1967. In addition to the three actors mentioned above, the show features Tom Hollander, Elizabeth Debicki, and Alistair Petrie. Give them a great script and brilliant cinematography, and we've got one of the best thrillers of the decade. Through the woman's relationship with the gangster, Pine learns of the illegal international arms sales conducted by English billionaire Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). When things take a deadly turn, Pine immediately relocates to a remote hotel in Switzerland. But soon enough, he finds himself recruited by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), the manager of a Foreign and Commonwealth Office task force, and is assigned to infiltrate Roper's inner circle and criminal schemes. Leading the Hunters is Meyer Offerman ( Al Pacino), a Polish-Jewish philanthropist and Holocaust survivor who is responsible for new recruitments into his group. HANNA is an American action drama revolving around 15-year-old Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles), an extraordinary young girl raised by her father, Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman), in a remote forest in Poland. Before exiling himself to nowhere land, Heller was a former CIA operative who was part of UTRAX. This program recruits pregnant women into the agency and ensures that their children’s DNA is enhanced with super-soldier abilities. A second season is currently in the works. Initially, a Marine veteran, Dr. Ryan has a significant role in the Terror Finance and Arms Division (T-FAD), which is overseen by the Counterterrorism Center (CTC). So yeah, our little doctor definitely knows a thing or two about tackling terrorism and global threats to the U.S. In the second season, we find Dr. Ryan handling a different crisis in the middle of Venezuela. There is something fascinating about the concept of a deadly killing machine disguised as a teenage girl. Nothing screams tension more than working with your mortal enemy, especially if said enemy is on the FBI's Wanted List. The Blacklist explores the relationship between high-profile criminal Raymond "Red" Reddington ( James Spader) and rookie FBI profiler Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone). Before diving into the dark world of crime, Reddington was a former U.S. Navy officer. After encountering a string of suspicious bank transfers carried out by a rising international extremist, Dr. Ryan scours across Europe and the Middle East to hunt for the terrorist figurehead before time runs out.

RD4895 is a drug in The Terminal List that was supposed to be for PTSD treatment but caused horrible side effects. Is there a real-life counterpart?

Considering it involves revenge plots and government medical conspiracies, it’s good to know that not everything in the show is based on real life. A drug called RD4895 is pivotal to the story in The Terminal List as it’s the backbone of the conspiracy that Reese uncovers. One of the major problems with the medicine is that it can cause overall memory loss since it has a general focus on blocking memories and doesn't always discriminate.
