I read new Reacher and am filled afresh with utter disbelief (DISBELIEF) that they think Tom Cruise can in any way, shape or form essay Jack Reacher. What were they thinking? And everytime I read Lee Child saying how he's sure Tom will be just FINE, then I imagine the words turning to sawdust in his mouth and him choking on them. Do you think he made some kind of deal with the devil and instead of going to hell in exchange for his success, he has to stand by and support dreadful, dreadful casting? It's the only possible explanation.

Totally agree. That is whack casting. Reacher is formidable enough
To always be drawing attention to that fact. Tom could play a businessman
Caught in Reacher's case. I think it's disappointing but will still
See movie as I've wondered for years why there weren't any.

Yes, Tom is full of high energy and calls attention, Reacher has a very solid, self assured, quiet energy. He need to be big and solid and, well, not Tom.

But as you, I will check out the movie, hoping to be proven wrong.
