It's the miscasting. DvD's 'cockney' accent was just excruciating. It may have passed muster in places where nobody would know a cockney accent, but in the UK, no!
Similarly, Cruise may be accepted as Reacher by people who haven't read the books, but anybody who's read them won't be able to - surely?
