It was said books usually adapt badly to screen. If you read the book you may not like the movie or TV series based on it. In this context lets discuss Reacher Season 3.
I find the Reacher books relatively fast paced and mostly predictable till they get into the end and it's a free for all. Same pattern repeated again and again and again. Tom Cruise did a great job in the movies but didn't really match the personality at all. The TV series was actually quite good in the beginning and I agree, Season 3 was lacking and your assessment is spot on. I found Season 2 also a bit of a drag, but the acting was decent.
The Bourne Identity was again, played rather well, except for the tiring jump cuts all the friggin time, and the change of location was acceptable. Actually there was a movie made earlier as well a long time back and it was ok and more true to the plot.
One movie adaptation to the screen that I absolutely loved was the original "Day of the Jackal", not the modified "Jackal" which was not bad. They actually went with a longer movie and it worked very well.
Favorite all time movie is of course Walter Mathau's Hopscotch. The movie's better than the book ... because the book is fiction.
