He sucks as Reacher. The Amazon series is much closer to the books. The whole point is that Jack Reacher is a physical giant. Makes the story much more believable.

I liked it but I’ve seen many who share your opinion. I didn’t watch the 2nd one yet.

“The whole point is that Jack Reacher is a physical giant” is not quite correct. The point is that Jack Reacher is quite intimidating. That was established very early in the Cruise films with lightning quick takedowns of multiple adversaries.

I’ve read all of the Jack Reacher books and short stories. I loved the Amazon series, but I still loved the Tom Cruise Jack Reacher films. His Jack Reacher was not a giant but he was believably intimidating and resourceful.

Cruise as Reacher doomed the flick from the start.
