Tom Cruise is quite the opposite of what I imagine Jack Reacher to be like Laughing

I've not heard of the character but wiki says this.
"Reacher is a giant, standing at 6' 5" tall (1.96m) with a 50-inch chest, and weighing between 210 and 250 pounds (100–115 kg). "

I can just about imagine tom cruise being stoic and not saying much and not smiling, but I'm not sure how he will grow a foot for filming.

Exactly Colin, through out the books it goes on about his size and how his massive body pummelled the guy to the ground. It just isn't Tom Cruise Laughing

Holy god, they're making a film out of one of those books? My old dear gave me one to read. I finished it just so I could fully experience its awfulness. Laughing

Stolen from somewhere else but i laughed


Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher is like Mr Bean as Sherlock holmes.

and Hetz?....I like them and each to their own.

Guess there will be lots of special effects to make him look Reacher size......

I find it hard to believe that there are not any actors that fit the description of Reacher......

I guess its a sad fact that someone believes that they need a "name" to front the film....
And not let the film stand on the merits of the books. Thumbs Up

I did think of actors that suit the role but couldn't think of any that size except Vin Diesel who is a worse actor than Tom cruise


After much discussion with OH we decided on Keifer Sutherland.
