Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher?

I think I’m gonna throw up.

Please cancel the release and destroy all the copies.

Hear, hear! Mark Wahlberg as Bob the Nailer was completely believable. Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher is ludicrous.

Casting a mistake regarding the math that’s all. In the books Reacher was 6”5 not 5”6.

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher?

My thoughts exactly! Cruise is about a foot too short. There was lots of grumbling when he was named to play Jack Reacher. I will probably see the movie, just to evaluate the portrayal.

Yeah Lee Child sold out. Jack Reacher is supposed to a 6’5 behemoth. Cruise stands around 5’7 as do I. It’s almost as bad as when the theater changed Muslim terrorists into Aryan Neo-Nazis in Clancy’s “The Sum of All Fears”.
