Movie Review

Lee Child’s Jack Reacher character is said to be 6”5 with a 50 inch chest. Tom Cruise, as mentioned in a previous post on the blog, has neither. Yet, he is the only actor I prefer playing this protagonist. His performance was the main element of attraction in the movie and rightfully so.

Jack Reacher: Does appearance matter?

Jack Reacher is a fictional character in Lee Child's most renown series of novels. He is described as being 6'5", with a 50 inch chest and weighing between 210 and 250 pounds. He also has dirty blonde hair.

So when Tom Cruise was cast as the former military police corps major there would have been massive public disapproval from the fans of the series, which was the case. He stands at an unimpressive 5'7" and has nothing even close to resembling dirty blonde hair.
