I almost watched a film last night but couldn’t persuade myself that I could believe that Tom Cruise was Jack Reacher.

they have done this twice.2 movies
did it with lucas davenport(john sanford prey books) too.both big guys
can't stand cruise anyway.
theres a new tv series in the works.one of the reporters asked childs if jack would be bigger childs said yes.

Tom Cruise is only ever Tom Cruise to me. I don't like him anyway, not since I saw a pic of him grinning his face off as he and some female 'celeb' were holding up two little Siberian tiger cubs at some mega event in a theatre. I was outraged at their being used like that.

Some actors are just like that IMO - good actors or not, they don't truly 'become' whoever they're playing - not to me anyway. I still remember Robert Redford in Out of Africa - to me he was just Robert Redford right through.

Others, e.g. Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, to name just 2, most certainly do.

I can't see Joe M as Reacher either. Too many muscles!!!
He looks contrived.
Feeling my age- and could you be seen out with a man in really cheap clothes??? Better stay in the motel room!

I did start watching the film last night but Tom Cruise just annoyed me so much that I switched off. He’s certainly not Reacher but I also found his botoxed face quite creepy. I’ve always thought of Reacher as a bit like Tom Hardy but then he’s not tall enough. Maybe Clint Eastwood’s son, Scott? He’s very like the young Clint but I think he’s too pretty for the Reacher I imagine when I read the books

Ben Affleck was the best Jack Reacher, IMHO. I think he has been played by different people in every film they have made.
