Not worth going to see

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2013)

If I could give this one half star, I would.
Lee Child writes a terrific series of Jack Reacher novels. Unfortunately, this movie does NOT reflect that. Miscasting is the biggest issue. Jack Reacher is 6'5", big, and very intimidating. Tom Cruise is 5'7" (probably in heels) and couldn't intimidate my 6 year old granddaughter, let alone any man bigger than 5 feet tall.
To have him play the part of an ex-MP, and supposedly an expert in firearms, hand-to-hand combat, former sniper, etc., is ridiculous. In fact, I would say this is a very good farce. Reminiscent of Dean Martin playing Matt Helm many years ago. I laughed through many parts of the movie as I found Tom Cruise ludicrous. I finally gave up and walked out in disgust.
Redo it with Liam Neeson, Steve Austin, Duane Johnson, or Vin Diesel as Jack Reacher. at least those guys are intimidating.
People not grounded in reality and Tom Cruise fans will undoubtedly like it.
