Quoted from "61 Hours"
"He had been hospitalized in Beirut and then airlifted to Germany for convalescence. His medical summary was in the file. He was a healthy person. The wound had healed fast and completely. It had left what the army called a disfiguring scar, which implied a real mess. He was six feet five inches tall and at the time of the report from Germany had weighed two hundred and forty pounds. No internal weaknesses had been detected. His eyesight was rated excellent.
He had many formal qualifications. He was rated expert on all small arms. He had won an inter-service thousand-yard rifle competition with a record score. Anecdotally his fitness reports rated him well above average in the classroom, excellent in the field, fluently bilingual in English and French, passable in Spanish, outstanding on all man-portable weaponry, and beyond outstanding at hand-to-hand combat. Susan knew what that last rating meant. Like having a running chainsaw thrown at you.
A hard man, but intelligent.
His photograph was stapled to the inside cover of the file. It was a colour picture, a little faded by the intervening years. His hair was short and unruly. He had bright blue eyes, a little hooded. His gaze was direct and unflinching. He had two noticeable scars. One was at the corner of his left eye. The other was on his upper lip. His face looked like it had been chipped out of rock by a sculptor who had ability but not much time. All flat hard planes. He had a neck. Thick, for sure, but it was there. His shoulders were broad. His arms were long, and his hands were large.
His mouth was set in a wry smile that was halfway between patient and exasperated. Like he knew he had to get his picture taken, but like he had just gotten through telling the photographer the guy had three more seconds before his camera got rammed down his throat.
Jack-none-Reacher." -

Cruise is just Cruise. He's a decent actor but he's just himself on screen. He rarely changes his acting style or voice or mannerisms. The idea he's Jack Reacher - that Cruise tried to change his acting or appearance to fit Lee Child's vision of the character - is laughable.
It's just Tom Cruise on screen doing his action 'thing'. Period. -

Cruise was alright. But it is laughable how fans of his seem to imply that no 6'5 actor could have pulled it off like he did, never mind did it better.
That scene at the auto store especially really fell flat for me. The "inside of an ambulance" line actually sounded comical coming from a little man. -

That line WAS, in fact, put for Cruise's benefit, to make him look tougher. It wasn't in the book.
