Runt As Reacher

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2013)

I wrote to Mr. Child before the movie was released after I found out that TC was cast to play Jack Reacher. (Too bad I was not consulted beforehand.) I expressed my profound dismay that an arrogant runt was playing an unconceited giant. Mr. Child never responded, but his assistant tried to assure me that Mr. Child had every confidence that TC would do a good job and make a convincing Jack Reacher. Trust me, if you are a big fan of Lee Child's Reacher novels, you will die and be in Heaven for a thousand years before any such conviction takes hold. I have reviewed the box office results since the movie opened and I could not be happier that the movie is doing poorly. May this be the last of this travesty. Creative casting may be okay for a satire, but this purported to be a serious action/drama. Let's get real!
