Then why call him "Jack Reacher?" Why make him an ex-MP?
If you're not out to get Jack Reacher fans, and capitalize on the popularity of the books, then you could have just bought story rights from Child (if the story was that strong) and make Mission Impossible 5 featuring Cruise as Ethan Hunt.
But if you're trying to sell me Jack Reacher, then I expect to get Jack Reacher in the package.
