Jack Reacher

I discovered Lee Childs Jack Reacher stories about 10 years ago, what a great read. Usually we find Reacher hitch hiking, as he wanders the USA, somebody will eventually pick him up despite having a hulkish look at 6-6 260ish. And our story begins.

When I heard there was going to be a movie, yep, excited. But........Tom Cruise? How can the 5-8 170 (guessing) sell the huge Jack Reacher? In the stories the size of Reacher is a constant, we get it.....big bad hombre. Tom Cruise a big bad hombre......nay!

X pro rassler/current actor Dave Batista.....perfect.

If a movie is based on a literary character why not stay as close as possible to the story?

I guess the worst casting job ever was John Wayne as Ghanghis Ghan, What were they thinking?

I first saw him on Titans on the old DC platform and liked his character on that too

Not of huge significance, but apparently Season 2 is dropping a bit earlier than previously announced. First 3 episodes drop on 12/14 at 7pm EST now.

No doubt. You aren't watching it for acting brilliance or fantastic cinematography.

Which pretty much tells you that they've captured the essence of the novels pretty well.

Lee Childs ain't exactly Tolstoy.

Really enjoyed the first season and looking forward to where they are going to take the second.

The lead actor seems much more believable than Tom Cruise; his first movie was okay and I didn't bother with the second one...

I've read all the books and the Tom Cruise movies were entertaining. I had to get over Tom not being a gigantic human being, but most people never read the book who saw those movies...

I love season 1 of this as it really followed the book to a T and it is how I always pictured Jack Reacher to be when reading the book.

Can't wait for Season 2.

One of the movies was on the other night and it was so terrible it took me about 3-4 minutes to determine that it wasn't in fact satire and I'm supposed to believe a 5ft 6inch 140lbs Tom Cruise it out there smoking guys twice his size.

Just in case I haven't mentioned this before - Rosamund Pike is hot as the surface of the sun in that movie.
