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.

Nah, TC carried the heart of Reacher. I am a fan of Lee Child’s books and Cruise would fit the bill for nearly all of them. Maybe his ego filled the 1’ gap...

I’ve read the 20 something Reacher books and couldn’t agree more. I don’t care if cruise got the “essence” of Reacher down, or not. He just doesn’t fit.
