There's no denying Cruise has talent. If he can play Reacher he can play Lula, a retired black hooker, Randy Briggs, a dwarf, and even Grandma Mazur, all at the same time.
I agree with everyone, the casting is uninspiring, but then I would have had Kristen Bell as Stephanie (the part needs an actress who can play stubborn as a mule convincingly) and Shirley McLaine as Grandma Mazur.
I really don't like the guy who's playing Ranger. He has just spent seven years working with Dennis Leary on Rescue Me, and every time he opened his mouth or simply stood next to Leary you suddenly realised Dennis Leary wasn't the biggest ass on the show/planet. You've got to be pretty slappable to make Leary look good in comparison.
