Does Cruise, along with writer/director Christopher McQuarrie ( Usual Suspects), deliver an enjoyable Jack Reacher adaptation - a film that will win over skeptical fans of the book series while also serving-up a fun crime drama for less familiar viewers?įortunately, the answer is yes. However, it wasn't long before the author endorsed Cruise in the role, claiming that despite their physical differences the actor would successfully bring Reacher's intensity to the screen. The Cruise casting set off a firestorm of fan backlash, as faithful readers of the Lee Child source novels dismissed the production as a Jack Reacher adaptation in name alone.
Jack Reacher, a six foot five, two-hundred and fifty pound former United States Army Military Police Major with blonde hair, bares little physical similarity to actor Tom Cruise (they both have blue eyes) but that didn't stop the fan-favorite star from signing-on for the character's big screen debut. Jack Reacher is primarily a frame for the fan-favorite actor to flex his (noticeably aging) action muscles - but that doesn't mean the film fails to satisfy with plenty of excitement.
