I just read part of a review:

Jack Reacher is an old-fashioned type of guy -- he doesn’t use a cell phone or credit cards, he travels by bus -- and the first film adaptation of one of Lee Child’s Reacher novels has a correspondingly gritty, low-tech, real-muscle appeal. Tom Cruise might not be the 6-foot-5 rock described in the books, but he makes the title role fit him like a latex glove in a winning turn that could spawn a popular new franchise for the star, if public reaction to Christopher McQuarrie’s film is as strong as its fun quotient warrants.

They postponed an early preview because of Sandy Hook and have pulled one particularly violent trailer.

Oh Kate admit it- you have the hots for Tom!!

Looks like a good one to me Kate ! Interesting premise.

Well, I DO like his movies. As a person, and because he embraces Scientology, he would be at the bottom of my list. I just watched A Few Good Men yesterday -- Again!

Yeah Nana, I liked Collateral a lot too.

.

I have liked several of his movies some not. I certainly wouldn't go see his movies because he was in them.

Figured they would change everything around to "fit" him. Probably only a smattering resemblance to Child's "One Shot"

Kinda like they did in The Firm

I'm glad you liked it.

As far as his personal life is with Scientology , things like this don't affect how I likeor dislike actors' films.
For instance, I have liked Lindsey Lohan in several of her movies.

I liked The Last Samauri too !!
Hated War of the Worlds.... too hokey !! SFX - super, but story sucked IMO. Original much better !!

My guitar teacher and I were discussing at lunch - Reacher may be BAD timing with the Sandy Hook massacre to have a gun -shoot em up movie come out. we'll see !

.

You took your Guitar Teacher to Texas with you!!

Wow!

If it follows the books line, it will have lots of dealing with snipers. reacher uses information and evidence from an incident where a sniper picks off several so called random civilians to prove the sniper's identity .

Good book. I'm sure the film will be quite a bit astray from it.

Watched some trailers on tv,looks interesting may have to go see it when it hits my area. our theatre does not get movies til they have been out for some time
