I think it's very irritating when they take a well known and liked character and try to make a movie out of it. But then they don't cast the right type of actor. For instants, I love the Jack reacher character in Lee child's bucks. The character in the book is 6 foot four and a little intimidating looking. So who do they cast for the movie? Tom Cruise!! Are they kidding me?! Total joke, I didn't even bother watching the movie.

I totally SO agree with you. I won't go see the movie either. Tom Cruise is a little wimpy guy. Jack reacher is over 200lbs of pure muscle and intimidation!

I was sooooooo happy to see a Reacher book was going to be made into a move and instantly let down when I found out Cruise was playing Reacher. How do you cast a midget to play Jack Reacher???!!!

The answer to this is that Cruse owns the production company. He's been so loony lately that the only person to give him a role is himself. Even though I was insulted that Tom player Reacher I still enjoyed the movie but out of spite I waited for it to be released on DVD before seeing it. Lol
