As someone who hasn't read the book or books, and never heard of the character till this movie. I don't really care about the inaccuracies of the character, just that it was enjoyable to watch.
You are exactly right. This movie was incredibly enjoyable. Cruise is a great actor. He should have taken the same story and changed the name. You should really read the books, though. You will find that the characters size plays a pivotal role in every interaction and scenario in the story. Even the fact that he can not ride comfortably in most cars, and can threaten even the toughest guys without saying a word. Cruise is not believable as the guy that hardened military and mercenary spec ops guys would be cautious of just from looks alone.

I can only agree with the majority of comments that say this movie is a MASTERPIECE, the acting, the action, and absolutely everything to do with the effects are superb.
Wow I think Tom Cruise got this part solely because of his physical similarities to Reacher’s description in the books- hulking 6 ft 5 tall, 250-pound blond man, with hands the size of dinner plates. Spot on!
You do realize Alan that plays him now is short as shit also😂 He has the muscles but he’s a munchkin to y’all just love to cry and bitch about everything🤣
Strange as it may seem, Tom is very believable in the role. There was an outcry when Michael Keaton was chosen as Batman due to his stature, but he is arguably the best Batman. Now for a real story, I met an ordinary looking,, small to medium size guy who just happened to be an elite soldier who took down guys much taller and supposedly more physically stronger than him. It’s down to strength of character, ability and professionalism that will always surpass looks.
When the sheriff hangs up the phone in the diner and asks reacher, "Who the hell are you?" I always thought he should have responded, "Mr. Reacher, first name Jack, no middle name" just as the sheriff said as he was reading his ID and being a smart ass.
After watching the tv show, how can you really say this? Tom Cruise may have the name, but Alan Ritchson is a 1000x better Reacher then Tom Cruise and thats a fact.
I always thought he played it really well, but I didn't know reacher was meant to be 9ft7 and built like a fridge. Still think this version of reacher is cool
The hate was ridiculous. I didn’t like the Prime series because of the Reacher actor, it was like they gave him a script without any commas. I ended up loving the series because the supporting characters made and a great story made it a good watch. I enjoyed Cruise. Second one was so violent, first one was too but it has a pretty good story. The PD with the nice rack, was overacting.
I don't agree with many things Tom Cruise does. But he is a damn fine Actor. Without the physique that a Jack Reacher should have, he plays him so well that i believe him to be Jack Reacher. Which is exactly what an actor should accomplish. Well done
One of the best actors in the world. I love how he learns, in depth, the ins and outs of his roles. He flies jets, raced on Nascar tracks, does extreme climbing, and of course... runs A LOT! 😂 Personal life is his own. To each their own.
This is why Tom did such a good portrayal in these movies. He's not big and overpowering, so he instead used strategy to disable the opponents. Strikes to do quick disables then follow ups when needed to put them down. Only the frame at the motel (Sandy/the girl) is the one I wouldn't buy. That would send me alarm bells that it was a frame-up. Reacher would not do wanton slaughter to a woman, no matter the circumstance, because She was never a credible threat. Even at the Auto shop, he only gave her leading looks, never direct hostility.
Richson was better in season 1 but cruise and Richson are about tied in season 2. Season 2 saw Reacher's IQ drop about 50 points from the 150s down to the 100s. I hope they fix Reacher in season 3. They turned him into a stupid action star in season 2. And they did so by changing the book to remove scenes where he showed intelligence and replaced them with scenes where he was a stupid action figure who thought with his little head.
I think the reason Cruise works in this role despite not being accurate to the books description of Reacher is because most people wouldn't expect Cruise to be a badass at first glance. Now Ritchson, on the other hand, just one look at the guy should give you the hint that he's not one to mess with
@@bertbox69 You'll notice, usually when they do it's because they perceive him to be at some kind of disadvantage. 5 on 1? A dozen bikers with knives and chains? A former Spec Ops guy with a dozen soldiers at his command. Etc... You get my point.
I have never read any of the Reacher books and I don’t pay much attention to Cruise’s personal beliefs. I watch him act and that’s my only interest in him. He’s an actor NOT a friend of mine.
I liked him too, but it doesn’t fit the books character. JR is not that thin, no matter how good Tom Cruise is. The dude that acts the Amazon series fits way more the JR fantasy aspect.
While Alan Ritchson is more physically faithful to how Reacher was described in the books, I gotta say I like both his and Tom Cruise's portrayal of the character. What I like about Tom Cruise's portrayal is that he's very unassuming. Coming across him, like in the bar scene it would be easy to underestimate him, and you wouldn't know you were screwed until it was too late.
I love the Tom Cruise Reacher movies. Even though he isn't huge, like the Reacher described in the books, his character is equally intimidating because of his speed. And I loved that red Chevelle in the first one.
Sure, Tom Cruise doesn’t physically fit the description of Reacher from the books. But when you see Alan Ritchson getting harassed by some punks, you think, “Who in their right mind would think it’s a good idea to mess with this refrigerator?! These guys are idiots!” When you see Tom Cruise getting messed with by some punks, you think, “Totally believable they’d not be intimidated by this 5’7” dude. But they about to fuck around and find out.”
Vikings once drank the blood of their enemies ... from the enemies own skull. Hence the toast, "Skal" ! Doesn't get much more "vicious" than that ... ^v^
As a big fan of the books, I thoroughly enjoyed Cruise as Reacher. Of course he doesn't fit the physical description of the character, but I think he absolutely nailed Reacher in terms of the character's intelligence, manners and authority, and those are for me the most important aspects to make believable.
I saw the first movie, then I read the book, then I saw the second movie. While I’m not particularly a Cruise fan, I enjoyed these movies. Yes, he doesn’t fit the character’s description. It doesn’t matter to me. His matter-of-fact delivery and quips work for me. It doesn’t hurt that he has a super hottie in both films. Pike’s eyes are mesmerizing. Smulder s looks great overall.
"..two things are going to happen in the next 90 seconds..."..I tried that once and this guy said; " maybe, maybe not....but this going to happen now.."...and he smacked me in the chops, rough fellow!

I have to give a shout out to the city of Pittsburgh, always a great place to film a good movie, one of my favorite movies is the next 3 days Pittsburgh should have got an Oscar
I got sad when sandy got killed. She played good character and made you believe she had a really hard life and been abused. She deserves a good acting career as her eyes and facial expressions showed believeable pain and sadness. She should be getting massive roles
I don't care what anyone says about Tom Cruise being too short or whatever, the first "Reacher" film was excellent. The second one was not nearly as good as the first but it still had its moments. The series on Amazon Prime is really excellent too. Season one was fantastic. Season two was good. Season three is supposed to debut some time later this year (2024).
There are very few movies I like with Tom Cruise being in them. Risky Business, Legend, Collateral, Valkyrie even Tropic Thunder. But, I give him credit for bringing the character of Jack Reacher and the stories by Lee Child to the big screen, which opened the way for a more grounded and realistic Reacher with Alan Ritchson. I also, think Mr. Cruise, delivers some great caustic one liners.
So we've seen two actors playing Reacher and both did excellent jobs, very satisfactory work. Although I do wonder if anyone has ever killed an opponent and actually drank his blood out of a boot.
@@samuelwhite8895he's better than Reacher in season 2 but worse than Reacher in season 1. Preacher's primary attribute is not the 6'5 but that he is a mid genius level iq with strong observation and investigation skills.
Ton Cruise put the character of Reacher on the map for a lot of people unfamiliar with the books. For what the movies were, Tom was the best person for the role at that time in spite of the glaring mistakes (height, weight, etc). If Alan Ritchson had been in the movies from the get go - an unknown actor in an unknown franchise - it'd have likely stopped after the first movie.
I don't say you're wrong, especially since the novelist had input in the first movie, it just would have had a different style with Alan in the lead role. It may have stopped at the 2nd movie and no Amazon series.
@@OverlandOne but your opinion and everything you said has absolutely nothing to do with the books 🤣 Act like you don't remember all the times in the books where people are scared and run off just by his presence. Cruise absolutely can't do that
You’ve got to be 💩ing me guy. This guy has starred in more blockbuster films than any three Hollywood actors combined. Say what you want about him but he is an impressive mofo. You’re going to be really busy
I love how his way of intimidation is just talking menacingly. Reacher's intimidation is supposedly natural cuz he is imposing and huge af. But TC did well in the movies.

If that doesn't qualify for cray-cray, then I don't know what does.

1:48 Great first strike sequence. This movie had some well written and uncommon quick take-out fight scenes. If someone really knows how to fight, it won't be a back and forth haymaker sequence for 2 minutes....it'll be quick, and over with serious injury.
I personally enjoyed both films. Watched tbe movies before even knowing the character.but. enjoyed the first season of reacher a lot. Not so much the second season. But i still enjoyed the movies.
Yeah the writing in the second season felt really cliched, Jack telling everyone including people who should have arrested him that he was just going to kill everyone over and over again got dumb real fast. And the group dynamics felt off for some reason even though the actors did a great job. We had the love interest the comedian and the stoic sidekick, just didn't work as well as those style of character from season one.
@@markgrehan3726 I do have problems with the series and some of the novels go very dark too, which I think will be tough to plots to keep using. The 2nd season really diverted from the intent of the novel, which to me, went wrong. But they couldn't use the "Davy Crockett (nuclear device)" as a plot device because it would have been too great a time lapse (50+ years since decommissioning), to be believable.
I'll tell you guys a great line and its from " Chuck Norris " he did a movie called "Invasion USA " and he told a guy in a hotel room that "If you come back in here, I'm gonna hit you with so many rights, you'll beg for a left " i almost died when he said that.
I don't give a SH!T that Cruise doesn't fit the description of Reacher in the books...THE MOVIES WERE AWESOME and I LOVED THEM BOTH !!!!!! Yes , I also LOVE the Amazon Reacher series as well...I do NOT understand how people think they have to choose one or the other...STUPID !!!!
imo, he doesn't fit the reacher character BUT a transient thug who tries to fight for right once his back is against the wall? yeah, TC does that well. But Reacher's height is part of his character, and in the books he thinks he's not really hollywood attractive.
@@alertgasper LOL Well at least with the series they did get the not attractive thing right and the height. Just not the quality acting job. Just my opinion. I

I've read all the Reacher books. Reacher is 6'5", 250#. Cruise 5'8", maybe 165-70. Good camera work though.
I don't care what people say I liked him as Jack Reacher. Instead of a muscular big guy, he is highly skilled and opponents underestimate him.
I know what you mean and I like the films, but you should admit that a huge guy (who is also highly skilled) is somewhat more intimidating.
Reacher is a big, imposing guy in the books. Some of the lines in the movie don’t even make sense because of Cruise’s stature.
I liked him too, but it doesn’t fit the books character. JR is not that thin, no matter how good Tom Cruise is. The dude that acts the Amazon series fits way more the JR fantasy aspect.
agree with you, bro. this reacher (tom cruise) is better than the serial.
Especially since the "Big muscular guy" has revealed himself to be a looney-tune Hollywood liberal.

Man punched through a thick ass window and still managed to knock that guy out in one punch. Dang.
Jack used the salt shaker like a hammer to help him smash the door glass!
Tom really nailed the Reacher attitude. He just doesn’t fit the size and intimidation factors.
Doesn't fit the size. He's got the rest.
Cruise does an excellent job of playing Jack(in) Reach (around).🤣🤣🤣
He had Reacher down pat. Just came up short on the physical intimidation aspect 😂
No shit.
Well, we shouldn't think little of him for that. 🤣
@@rylanmalis1162 Got it so quickly.
It does make this version of the character hard to look up to though.
It was a bit of a reach.
Holy shit Werner Herzog? I think it's about time I saw this movie
Never been a fan but now I want to see his movies.
You’ve got to be 💩ing me guy. This guy has starred in more blockbuster films than any three Hollywood actors combined. Say what you want about him but he is an impressive mofo. You’re going to be really busy
The joy on their faces when they said, he's still in there, like they were hoping to see more 😂😂😂
“Who the hell are you”
“I’m the man standing on the box”
He was no joke😂😂😂😂Like it.
One of my favorite TC movies
Werner Herzog: Geniale Performance. Divine.
".....its just gonna keep on ringin'... "😅😅😅
I love how his way of intimidation is just talking menacingly. Reacher's intimidation is supposedly natural cuz he is imposing and huge af. But TC did well in the movies.
Tom did a great job acting in the movies. Too bad he wasn’t taller. Alan Richson does a great reacher ,too.
This is one hell of a movie. Reacher the series as well ❤❤.
I am 6'2" and 235 lbs and I have no problem with someone of Tom Cruises giant stature playing this part.
single? 😉
Good for you Mary.
I am 5' 7" and 140 lbs.
But I'm tall for my height.
@@Philc2 some of my best friends are 5'7"

Tom's version of Jack reacher were very good I thought, enjoyable and relatable. Cheers.
When your charisma is 100, you can do damn near anything
Jack Reacher is my favorite of all the characters that Tom has playesd
I love Jack Reacher in the movies and in the books. I've read all Jack Reacher books, you just cant put the book down
A lot of people hate on Cruise for this role, but I liked him in it.
HE PLAYED THE PART WELL AS IT SHOUKD BE EXCELLENT ACTOR.
Tom is a AWESOME actor
You can all say what you like but one thing makes Tom stand out amongst other actors he does all his own stunts, 10 no question
TC is a bit cray-cray,A great actor, but cray -cray, all the same.
@@roderickroberts9917 wow what an original comment
@@slayerhuh404 hey,come on ,anyone who is willing to get themselves nearly killed doing their own stunt work is, and you gotta admit it,isn't right in head.He can just get guys who are paid for cray-cray stunts like the stuff that he did for the mission impossible movies and others, doesn't prove that he was willing to give his fans realistic content that they simply could not done with CGI,THIS is the act of a man who is willing to at best, risk a stint a full body cast, or worse, a close casket funeral. If that doesn't qualify for cray-cray, then I don't know what does.

"hey,come on ,anyone who is willing to get themselves nearly killed doing their own stunt work is, and you gotta admit it,isn't right in head.He can just get guys who are paid for cray-cray stunts"
"Cray Cray" Has got to be one of ("If not the most") the stupidest things I have ever heard in my life, Without a doubt.
So it stands to reason that so many people who say it are total IDIOTS, in every sense of the word.
These people truly live up to their own dumbass term, "Cray-Cray.
They own it because they live it.
Bunch of damn morons.
i LOVE THE SECOND SCENE. that id is a active duty idea, once retired we get a nice little blue on that never expires.
Such a great movie and badass scenes in it oh my God that's so cool
I think tom pulled I t off even at his stature , but the new guy Rocks!! Love that series!!
Absolutely loved Tom Cruise and Coby Smulders in the Reacher movies.
1:48 Great first strike sequence. This movie had some well written and uncommon quick take-out fight scenes. If someone really knows how to fight, it won't be a back and forth haymaker sequence for 2 minutes....it'll be quick, and over with serious injury.
I personally enjoyed both films. Watched tbe movies before even knowing the character.but. enjoyed the first season of reacher a lot. Not so much the second season. But i still enjoyed the movies.
Yeah the writing in the second season felt really cliched, Jack telling everyone including people who should have arrested him that he was just going to kill everyone over and over again got dumb real fast. And the group dynamics felt off for some reason even though the actors did a great job. We had the love interest the comedian and the stoic sidekick, just didn't work as well as those style of character from season one.
@@markgrehan3726 I do have problems with the series and some of the novels go very dark too, which I think will be tough to plots to keep using. The 2nd season really diverted from the intent of the novel, which to me, went wrong. But they couldn't use the "Davy Crockett (nuclear device)" as a plot device because it would have been too great a time lapse (50+ years since decommissioning), to be believable.
Ya know, I don’t think I’ve noticed this before but a lot of the score and music give me huge Star Wars vibes.
Don't mess with him, He does The Impossible
I'll tell you guys a great line and its from " Chuck Norris " he did a movie called "Invasion USA " and he told a guy in a hotel room that "If you come back in here, I'm gonna hit you with so many rights, you'll beg for a left " i almost died when he said that.
I remember that line in the movie. l loved the movie 🎬 and I love Chuck Norris.
About time they brought Tom back no one does it better
Too busy tossing David miscavige's salad
We want more Jack Reacher movies!!
I don't give a SH!T that Cruise doesn't fit the description of Reacher in the books...THE MOVIES WERE AWESOME and I LOVED THEM BOTH !!!!!! Yes , I also LOVE the Amazon Reacher series as well...I do NOT understand how people think they have to choose one or the other...STUPID !!!!
The alternate universe applies for this is the way I see it.
I enjoy watching Tom Cruise, he may not fit the profile in the books but a smaller person with the right skills can wipe the floor with bullies
Tom absolutely plays Jack Reacher well.
Please...Compared to Allen, Cruise is a joke in this role! Its mean for someone way bigger.....
@@hotbello0071 Don't like the guy in the series at all. He fits the description but that's about all.
I thought okay he's not the build of the guy in the books but he IS one hell of an actor and played the role well regardless.
imo, he doesn't fit the reacher character BUT a transient thug who tries to fight for right once his back is against the wall? yeah, TC does that well. But Reacher's height is part of his character, and in the books he thinks he's not really hollywood attractive.
@@alertgasper LOL Well at least with the series they did get the not attractive thing right and the height. Just not the quality acting job. Just my opinion. I
9. Thanks for uploading such an intense chunk from the movie
Love love Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Tom Cruise is $600 million tall.
Hahaha 🤣
And earned every penny! He's been doing most of his stunts for decades and has insane versatility
No..... Tom Cruise is short. He is only 5'5".
@@davidgriffin14 Weed is cranium numbing
He's an insane sociopathic scientologist
i know Tom was not the physical specimen that Lee scripted. But i do appreciate this brought me to the books.
I thought Tom played a convincing Reacher.He was resourceful and fast.
