I too think this is a spectacular piece of casting - WRONGLY !
It really is ridiculous - and no matter what special effects/boxes/pits they think up, I will still be unable to watch even a trailer without laughing.
Reacher has to be an intimidating figure, even sitting on a park bench picking his nose !
I do enjoy the books - to my own surprise, frankly, but they are so well constructed -
and you know exactly what you're getting.
But I couldn't take Cruise seriously in a film, really. A worse actor (yes there are) who looked the part could well pull it off.
