Thread necro because I finally had the chance to pop in the disc that's been waiting patiently on my entertainment center shelf. Pleasantly entertaining. Folows the book closely enough to keep all but the most hardcore Lee Childs fan happy while still being a decently enjoyable movie for those unaware of the books. Still surprised at how well Cruise pulls off a character that the book describes as looking like a stoic 6'5" ex-linebacker.

I've seen both and consider them the same as the John Wick movies. They were ok but if I had never seen them them it wouldn't bother me.

Can't watch that stuff.  6'5 Jack Reacher being played by 5'7 Tom Cruise just ruins it for me.   laughing
