I have read a few of these. I did not know what I was missing. I enjoyed Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, and crusty Robert Duvall in Jack Reacher. Lee Child said it himself that Reacher as he wrote him is an unstoppable force so too is the characterization of him as in the movie as played by 5' 7" or so Tom Cruise. Pike has two inches on him at 5' 9". Suppose he should be glad that the Casting Director did not stick him with Damages Janet McTeer at 6'1". http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005216/maindetails
