Having read the books, Cruise was a terrible choice for Jack Reacher. I think he's a twat of a man and a passionate actor suited to action, but he's no Jack Reacher.

And Jack Reacher is supposed to be like 7 feet tall!

6'5" in the books, and thick, and can't run for shit. In one book he gets shot with a small calibre gun and he's described as having too big pecs for the bullet to really hurt him.
