Bad movie based on a good book

Rating: 2/10 (7 June 2014)

I'll start by saying that I'm not a Tom Cruise fan. I am a fan of the Jack Reacher book series and that is the sole reason I spent time watching this movie. Casting Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher is just a cruel joke. Jack Reacher is 6' 5" and 250 lbs. Tom Cruise obviously is not. While they kept to the plot of the book (for the most part), the acting wasn't very good. It wasn't much better than a made for TV movie. I kept wondering whether they should have cast Cruise with a troop of little people. If so , it may have been more true to the character (of course I jest). I just hope this movie doesn't turn people off to the book series. My advice, save yourself the time and trouble and read the book and skip the movie.
