I don’t cotton much to Cruise, but this was a good movie. I really enjoy TC flicks. He was excellent as Jack Reacher and I really enjoy the MI series. The only film that I did not really care for was Vanilla Sky.

I have to disagree on Cruise as Jack Reacher. In the books, Jack is 6'6” and weighs 250 bone crusher. He is a rough and tough guy. Not Handsome but not ugly. That character played by 5'6”, pretty boy Cruise was terrible casting. He wasn't terrible, but he was not the right guy for the part.

IMHO, Collateral Damage was his best performance in the last 15 years.
Reacher was good if you had not read the books. His stature just did not fit the description of the character in the books. Six feet four, blond hair, 240 lbs in his mid 30’s.
However, he did a fine acting job.
