Poster: Jack Reacher

Tom Cruise puts on his badass stare to play Jack Reacher

I like the extreme close-up nature of this poster to make Tom Cruise look very much like a larger than life character. It works and all, except for the fact, that I can't get out of my head the fact that he is actually not that big of a man. However, what he lacks in stature, he makes up for in personality and hopefully that will carry him through this film in which he will play the titular character in the film version of Lee Child's novel.

With the recent Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Cruise proved he still has the action, bad-ass vibe in him, but can he do it twice in one year?

They played a trailer of this movie when I watched Seven Psychopaths, and the entire trailer was in french. It was sort of funny, because I'm from Canada and live in British Columbia where no one speaks french. Someone didn't do their homework.

I'm usually very forgiving when it comes to film adaptations of novels. That said, Lee Child is one of my favorite authors, and Jack Reacher is a phenomenal character. Reacher is described in all of the 15+ novels Child wrote as a giant of a man - 250 lbs., over 6 feet tall, and he uses his size to his advantage in every encounter. The casting of Cruise is laughable at best.

@Brewmaster_Andy Maybe Reacher will be taking on an army of midgets?

Dig Deeper into Jack Reacher

A new Tom Cruise film (producing and acting) based on the book series by Lee Child follows Jack Reacher, a former military policeman turned drifter. In "One Shot," Reacher investigates the case of a sniper accused of murdering five people before being captured.
