No, no, no, no and no.........

Reacher stood SIX foot five, not FIVE foot five. The scene with the dwarf facing off ten men: just silly.

Also, Reacher doesn't drive, he takes buses everywhere, or walks.

What an abomination.

They really couldnt have picked anyone further from the story line in the books.

I'd have prefered it if the baddies had been played by kids so at least the height proportions would have been slightly more true to form.

I can't imagine why Lee Child accepted Tom Cruise as Reacher.........unless a LOT of money changed hands.

As stated above, Cruise is about as far from Reacher as you could get.

It looks okay to me.

As for Lee Child -- I expect the draw of having the highest box office earner starring in something you created was enough ...

Not in my eyes. I'd be thinking more along the lines of the guy that played Thor in the recent movie.

Love Jack Reacher books and not really happy with the casting of Tom Cruise.

Although I'll still go and see it as I'm interested to see the transition from book to movie.

I always pictured Reacher as an American Dolph Lundgren. Tom Cruise must be very confident in his own acting skills to think he can win over Reacher fans.

Perhaps the movie character's to be called Jack Reacher-Round.

I'll reserve judgement till I've seen it, I didn't take Bruce Willis as a serious actor, but sixth sense changed my view completely. There is however the physical shortcomings, lets hope that doesn't spoil the film.

Clint Walker - 50 years ago! Probably would still be more convincing, even if he is 85.

Three fails so far...

Reacher almost never drives, - and it wouldnt be a fckin Mustang either

He's not small 6' 5", not 5' 6"

When he spend time with the ladies, its not pole dancer stylee


My moneys on it being a box office flop

Films from books are never a sgood in my opinion, take the green mile for one.

I will see it at some point (unlikely at the cinema as I tend not to go these days) but as I enjoy the books so much it would be a shame not to give it a go.

The new Reacher novel 'A Wanted Man' is out today

Will download it later tonight and have a read.

On the note of the movie, I've seen the trailer and still not impressed!!

No chance it'll flop with "big Tom" in it. Totally agree on the casting but look at collateral, good film.

I'll be watching it because teacher is a great character....just ordered the new book off amazon

The Green Mile not a great movie? One of the highest rated movies on imdb and most movie websites, I've also can't think of a person I've ever spoken to who's seen it, who hasn't liked it.
