I turned the part down. They refused to provide a Brompton on set for me to use.

Ex spec ops combat medic. Now that's hard - they're the boys who safe the boys who merely think they're hard. Fair play to the guy.

To be fair to Cruise he made a fair fist of capturing the intensity of Reacher's character, but he was so far apart from the physical representation of the unstoppable force that it didnt work. Reacher was supposed to be the ex 2IC of an MP unit that specialised in crimes involving special forces personnel, the hardest of the hard, and being a good actor alone simply didn't cut it.

@Katherine I take it you're a fellow Reacher fan then?

Ah, cool, you knew the man himself!

I've read all the books, not so keen on the fillums.

You might say Cruise was wrong for the part.

On t'other hand, if Cruise - still one of the biggest stars in Hollywood - cannot make the film big enough box office, nobody can.

It may depend on how many film goers have read the book and are also bothered about an accurate portrayal of the character.

I suspect not many.
