Don't get me wrong, I thought Tom Cruise did an awesome job. With that said, it's safe to say he wasn't anyone's first c

My wife and I just saw this and we thought the same thing.
Cruise does a nice job, but he's just a wee guy. They used all kinds of camera angles to try to hide the height difference, but it was obvious.
My pick would be Viggo Mortensen, but he played a badass role in Eastern Promises, which he might not have wanted to repeat. -

I'm no Reacher fan, but I'd love to see Patrick Warburton playing against type in the role.
When I first read the Wikipedia entry on the character, I immediately thought of David Morse, as well.
Ray Stevenson's version of the Punisher also seems tailor-made for this character. -

Don't make me laugh! Cruise may be small, but he at least has the acting ability to pull off the dark, mysterious personality of reacher. The rock is a terrible actor, and far too bulky to play reacher. He's meant to be tall, not a steroid head!!

@qwdzx
Bane appeared physically imposing because of the way he was filmed.
I think Tom Hardy's physique also had something to do with it. Anyways, they could've filmed him the same way for
Jack Reacher
as well. -

Nah, Cruise is 5'6", way short for a guy, whereas Hardy is average height, and he looked huge in Lawless. I think Hardy would have been interesting as Jack Reacher.
Francis, it's a nation of f**ing rats.
