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? [Reply]
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. [Reply]

Cool. This is one of those guilty pleasure kind of shows. [Reply]

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... [Reply]

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.
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. [Reply]
