Jack Reacher

[ericadawn16]

My mom LOVED Jack Reacher.

I felt like there was something off about it. Then, I read some reviews and they described his character as being someone Clint Eastwood would have played when he was younger. I realized they were right and that's why it felt off. However, he did do a good job and in time I'm sure I could get used to this new sort of Tom Cruise role.

There are two actors though that need to stop playing villains because I'm tired of it. One of them turned out to be the villain in a film I saw earlier this month, too!

From what I've heard, in the books Reacher is a big tall manly man. So, not Cruise.

Yup - not Cruise :/

Yep, my mum loves the books but she refuses to see the film because Cruise apparently is just not Reacher. The books apparently repeatedly reference Reacher's height, and the fact he's built like the proverbial brick s-house.

I still think I might make her watch it, because it could still be fun.
