You know what? I’m sold.
Since the announcement that Tom Cruise was taking on the role of Lee Child’s massive protagonist, there has been a general sense of disquiet among the online film community. Shocking isn’t it? As a fan of the books, I too was of the opinion that Cruise might not be the best fit for this character. But after rewatching Collateral recently I started to get a bit more circumspect about it. Then this trailer came along. Case closed.
Jack Reacher, based on the novel One Shot, is released this Christmas. What do you guys think?
I’m never going to be okay with Lee Child agreeing to Tom “I’m clearly f*cking insane” Cruise playing the man mountain that is Jack Reacher. It’s all kinds of wrong wrapped up in a big mistake.
That’s what I said when the news came out, but after these trailers I’m coming around.
I’m still going to see the film, but I don’t have high hopes of actually enjoying it… (grumble grumble)
