Then they could give it the proper title for the whole series: Can't Reach Ya

Crikey! I love the books but can really visualise TC as Reacher! :-(

![]() I don't remember the title any more, but I read a one book right before the movie was released. I watched the movie and remembered that the only thing the same was the title of the movie and the names of the two lead characters. Everything else was changed. I still think Danny Devito would be a better choice than Tom Cruise. ![]() Apache |

The trailer looks like a good Tom Cruise action movie. Looks nothing like Jack Reacher's movie. <sigh> |

Tom Cruise is perfect. The man is 6' 7" tall. The fact that none of you folks realize that fact is a true testament to the man's acting ability. He doesn't need CGI, makeup, or camera angles.
Why all of his directors have wanted him to play as Tom Thumb is the real mystery. |

If actors had to only play roles appropriate to their size, Tom Cruise would be stuck playing Pinocchio. It is possibly a poor choice to have him play a character who is known to be physically imposing, but for movie goers who have not read the Reacher novels (that would be most of them) it will not make much difference. They will enjoy the movie - or not - based on its merits.
