Wait For ReCast

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2013)

Having Read all Lee Childs excellent Jack Reacher books. I was very excited to hear the film rights had been bought and have been waiting with baited breath for the movies release. Unfortunately, it appears from what was released in movie theaters that whoever cast this movie did not actually read any of the books, or alternatively, Paramount thought they knew better than the author? The Jack Reacher character is about 12" taller than Mr Cruise, blond haired and very intimidating. I found the movie destroyed just about every aspect of Jack Reacher's published character. Consequently,I found the film very disappointing as I believe this movie should have been the start of a string of Jack Reacher box office smash hits. On a positive note the original stories are strong and I hope that the film gets ReCast using one of them, a more accurate portrayal of Jack Reacher could make movie goer's and producers very happy.
