No it's not.
You know what Jack Reacher is supposed to look/act like?
The movie was fun, but had ZERO connection with the Jack Reacher of the books.
No it's not.
That was the point
That happened for sure.My dad was an airline pilot and early in his career when he was making beans he was approached multiple times to fly "private" planes in and out of central America for exhobidant amounts of money. He declined but a buddy of his from the Air Force signed up. One day the guy is landing at a small strip in California and the feds come out from all angles.
He got busted, goes to the clink, keeps his mouth shut... and got murdered in the joint anyway... probably by the cartel who didn't wanna risk anything.
That wasn't the point, was it?You know what Jack Reacher is supposed to look/act like?

You can't pick and choose without doing it on BOTH sides, as cheese proved above.That was the point

Who cares what he is supposed to look like? Often actors don't look like their novel counterparts. Has nothing to do with the quality of acting one bit.
Cruise is hobbit likeMany people do.
You aren't going to do a biopic on Andre the Giant and cast a hobbit-size actor, right?
Then stop watching any adaptation movie then, because you'll NEVER be satisfied.Many people do.

Yeah, I wonder if he complained that The Equalizer in the movie wasn't a short little British guy.That's a ridiculous analogy. Pointing out an extreme to make in argument is weak.
I bet if you went down the laundry list of novel adaptations and all the characters in all those books you would fine most don't actually look like the characters described in books. Usually, it's a general similarity at most.
It doesn't matter one bit. As long as the spirit of the character is captured it doesn't matter.
What bothers me is that what was a series of events that involved Papa Bush, Pablo Escobar, , the cartel , JFK assasination, RFK assasination, Iran Contra, etc, etc is most likely to be treated like a Mission Impossible sequel for Tom Cruises franchise.
Tom Cruise is a terrible actor. Just terrible.
Terrible actors don't get multiple nominations for Oscars.
Yes they do. Just as great actors never get nominated for Oscars.
But that's just, like, my opinion, man.
Tom Hanks had a string of bombs early in his career and was considered a terrible actor at one point in his career. Nobody questions what a great actor he is now.
Tom Cruise is no Tom Hanks. Can you imagine Cruise giving Captain Phillips and Sully the Barry Seal pretty boy make-over?

Watching Tom Cruise in Born on the 4th of July says to me he can do just about anything given the right part. Some parts simply don't fit regardless of how good an actor is. There are a ton of great actors I would not have wanted in the part of Sully or Captain Phillips.
That was a Tom Cruise who left the building years ago.
Tom Hanks - 9Just so I know, on a scale of one to ten, where do Hanks and Cruise rank in your opinion?
I'm not arguing whether or not the Academy thinks Tom Cruise is terrible. In fact I thought it was clear that I was indicating that Oscar nominations don't hold any sway with my opinion one way or the other. How I consider a performance is not validated or invalidated by AMPAS.
It's a personal opinion. I NEVER believe Tom Cruise. The quality is just not there for me. Whenever I see him act, it takes but a mere moment for me to run down a list in my head of 5 or ten other actors I'd rather see in the role.
Yeah, I wonder if he complained that The Equalizer in the movie wasn't a short little British guy.
You know what I meant. No surprise you don't actually want to respond to it.What short little British guy?! Did you ever actually watch The Equalizer on TV? Edward Woodward was 6'0". Denzel is a whole inch taller at 6'1".
