These are a series of books that I really enjoy. Easy reading action thriller books that you can usually finish in a couple of long flights. For a while I’ve been wondering when they’ll start work on the movies of the books. To give you an idea of the character, Reacher is supposedly 6’5” tall and around 20 stone of muscle. And who have they chosen to play the lead role in the first adaption (One Shot)? Tom Cruise. Tom fucking Cruise.
Now don’t get me wrong, while Cruise seems to be quite an annoying little squirt, he is a fantastic actor. But he is no Jack Reacher. I can’t imagine worse casting bar getting the lad who played R2D2.
