Tom Cruise just is not Jack Reacher

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2012)

First of all I am not a native speaker :) Being a big fan of book series I went to see this movie with some doubts about Tom Cruise being cast as the main character and I am sorry to say I was right. While Tom is a good actor he just is not Jack Reacher material. I kind of felt sorry for him. He made Jack look kind of sad, weak, somewhat lost etc. And he was just talking too much. I've imagined Jack as solitary no-nonsense man , strong and self assured and I just did not see those qualities in Cruise. It kind of ruined this movie for me. They should have cast Ray Stevenson instead ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0829032/ ) That would be Jack Reacher I could buy ;)
