I don't give a crap about his height. This is about taking a great character and letting Cruise ruin him. {nm}

Yahoo: [1SHOT] teaser trailer is now up. Paul2k Jul 03, 09:56

I forget who it was that was harping on the height disparity between Reacher in the books and Cruise, but they aren't hiding it well here. {nm} Paul2k Jul 03, 10:00

TCRUI is not short, other people are just freakishly tall. {nm} elchan Jul 03, 10:06

Hide his height? He's playing Reacher as 5' 7, not as 6' 5". Most TCRUI fans and moviegoers have not read the books. {nm} Antibody Jul 03, 10:10

as someone that didn't even know this was a book, is the height of the character significant? {nm} lapuckfan Jul 03, 10:23

Exactly. Who gives a damn? {nm} RupertPupkin Jul 03, 10:24

Whoever it was that harped on it here before? {nm} Paul2k Jul 03, 10:26

There was an opposite scenario with Public Enemies (PUBNM), where Christian Bale played a G-man who in reality was conspicuosly short and Facto Jul 03, 10:28

He's suppose to be intimitating tough guy due to his size. Maybe those street toughs would have ran straight away. {nm} Antibody Jul 03, 10:28

Yes, the height is significant! Muad' Dib Jul 03, 13:16

I don't really get how height/size is significant to the story. If it is, the movie would never get made because there aren't really that LanceStorm22 Jul 03, 23:09

I was harping on about the books and after watching the trailer its even more stupid that Cruise was allowed blaze223 Jul 03, 12:15

More like Jack Reacharound: One Short {nm} Tanker Jul 03, 11:49

wolverine...jack reacher...height won't matter if the performance makes you forget about it {nm} tealfan Jul 03, 12:16

if they maintain the character (not characteristics) then they have a movie worth watching... {nm} b4bad Jul 03, 13:19

No interest. Cruise is so weird I avoid his movies and can't buy someone like him as an action star anymore. {nm} MontyBurnz Jul 03, 13:48

You missed a good one in MI:4 then. I've been a bit leery of Cruise since the Oprah incident, but that and RoA redeemed his acting for me. {nm} LanceStorm22 Jul 03, 22:54
