tom cruise / jack reacher

A lot of fun movies, but the actor is a scientologist. Let's call that even.

But Cruise cannot be Jack Reacher, WTF is wrong with everyone who thinks otherwise.

6'2, 240lbs, slab muscles and gorilla arms. Not a pretty face. Wtf kinda casting agent sends cruise that way.

He cast himself as he has the rights. It's all about the star pulling power and money.

I didn't like the first film 'Reacher', not because it starred Tom Cruise as the big man, but because it failed to portray his morality accurately, oh and had him driving a car. I've not seen the second one yet, but will give it a look when it appears on Netflix/Amazon/TV.

Who would you have cast? I thought Liam Neeson could work, right age, build, action pedigree, and a nose broken multiple times from being a boxer.

Any one but Cruise. Isn't he like 5'2" not 6'2" ?

I know he had no drivers license, but didn't he drive in the books?

What do you mean about his morality?

I seem to remember the cop tossing the toothbrush into the trashcan. Was that Child?
