Think he could have made a great Jack Reacher. I still really enjoyed Cruise in his own way but if they recast in a later instalment, this is who I'd go for. Thoughts?

Almost anyone would be better than Cruise, who has to be one of the most overrated actors of all time. Ray Stevenson would have been GREAT!! He even looks how I imagine Reacher to look.

Sorry, I think Cruise is terrific in this. Just saw Jack Reacher recently for the first time on cable. Great popcorn film. Can't wait for the sequel.

Yeah if you weren't previously acquainted with the character, he's fine.

Thats very true. Cruise is a compelling actor but is nothing like Reacher's novel version. Sort of like Harrison Ford with Jack Ryan

I can understand people who complain about Cruise being Jack Reacher because of his lack of Physical Stature. But other than that I think he pulled it off quite well. I guess you are just one of those people who just hates Tom Cruise.

Quite well - instead of a shaggy, brooding giant, we have a slick, overly aggressive midget.
