I completely agree with the OP in that I love the Reacher books and was shocked when I heard Cruise was going to play the main character. For this very reason I have not seen either of the movies and probably won't.

I will disagree with using Bautista in the role though. Too jacked. Reacher is a big man but nothing makes him sound like a body builder type. Liam Neeson would be a great fit!

Both movies are outstanding, I highly recommend them.

I do think it was pretty much...."most won't have any idea who Jack Reacher is, while everyone knows who Tom Cruise is".....bottom line $$$$$$$ of course.

I didn't like either movie, but I have an admitted anti-TC bias.

So what is a good movie in your opinion?

In this genre, I'd say Heat. Haven't thought too much about it and would have to come up with a list.

Typical Jack Reacher novel, he thumbs a ride on the interstate where he comes across bad people involved in some sort of crime in a town in somewhere USA.

And then Reacher starts the body count one by one by any and all means available.

I've read most of the books and really like the stories.

I was at a yard sale about 10 years ago looking at the books.

old lady.....you ever read Lee Child?
Me....don't think so.
old lady....he writes about a big guy like you, Jack Reacher.
Me....sounds good to me.

Bought all she had which was six but (as I found out later) not KILLING FLOOR the first Reacher novel. I must start at the beginning, just a thing with me. It took me a few months before finding KILLING FLOOR this was at a thrift shop.

You into James Lee Burke?
