I thought it was ok, not great but not bad, I can’t make my mind up about the actor, he’s the right shape and size, in the books they describe how muscular he is, and I recall one talking about his muscles being like huge walnuts due to his tan and how they stood out.
But he looks too young for me, irrelevant of actual age, he looks about mid to late thirties max, and I’d have put reacher, in my head as late forties, but he is in fact the right age, as in the books reacher leaves the army at 36.
It’s also very close to the book, so they have kept faith there. I thought cruise had bought all the rights, so he must have sold to allow this to be made?
I’d say it’s a million times better than the Tom cruise efforts though. I think he neglected to understand quite how important Jack reacher and his image was in it.
