Unexpectedly good

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2013)

Having read many of the Lee Child books i was always a fan of Jack Reacher. "Men want to be him and women want to be with him" so when I heard that Tom Cruise was going to play Jack I was shocked. We all know that in the books Jack Reacher is 6'5" tall and for a man who is 5'7" to play him sounds a bit shallow.
I have to say that I was impressed with the different camera tricks that were used to make him look bigger than he is. I thought it was a good portrayal but I still think someone like Hugh Jackman ex. Wolverine would have been better.
As One Shot was the very first Jack Reacher book i read I was glad to see it on the big screen and I thought that up until the last 20 minutes it was very good. I think the ending could have been better but it was a very good attempt of recreating a Hero on the big creen. That said, I don't think i'll be able to read another Jack Reacher book as his image has been stained.
