It's just easy for me to suspend disbelief with Cruise at this point. I've watched him play assassins and action heroes for essentially a quarter century at this point. There's just very little that's a bridge too far with him for me. Though admittedly, this one was pushing it a bit.

Compare it to the visceral violence of the Amazon series and yeah, it's nowhere near as convincing. But again - when it's Cruise, I just shut up and eat my popcorn.
In the first movie Cruise nailed the dry sarcastic wit of Reacher. I didn’t struggle with adaptation. I do enjoy the Amazon series more. I have read almost all the books. Working on the most recent now.
