    Not the greatest time to be going through a public divorce and releasing a winter tent pole.

    Liam Neeson would have been a better choice.

    For a second I thought that the title said Tom Cruise Jack the Ripper and thought he was perfectly cast as a serial rapist, then I saw that it wasn't.

    I haven't read the books, but my wife has, and apparently the Reacher character is supposed to be 6'4" and a bit rough looking. Total Miscast here.

    For whatever reason this trailer made me want to watch Collateral again -- Cruise should consider playing more bad guys -- him playing heroes has run its course.

    Well marrying Katie Holmes and the Oprah stunt was a PR nightmare and came right around the time War of the Worlds was released..the divorce couldn't be any worse!

    This is one of my favorite series and it is bugging me a bit that he looks so short particularly in that group fight scene.

    Doesn't take away from the story or how badass reacher is though.

    I thought it was pretty good. Some parts didn't fit in with the overall style of the movie, but other-wise it was a typical Tom Cruise action film.

    agree, was pleasantly surprise. I dug the whole "who did it" mystery plot. Solid popcorn flick, I enjoyed it.

    and good lord Rosamund Pike has a HUGE rack in this movie....
