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.
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.
@@rahulshah1408 - I would recommend the prequel novellas and books first. Most of them are pretty short. They really set up the character. And, they will separate the book character from the movie character you have grown to know.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.”
"..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 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
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.
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^
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 !!!!
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.
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).
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
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.
13:19 I've seen a lot of 'take out' moves in movies...This is my absolute favorite of all time. Breaking the connection at the neck??? Nothing works after that. No arms, no legs, lungs...It was beautiful!
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.

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

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
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 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.
Seeing clips like this again after having seen Alan Ritchson's version of Reacher.....it's kind of hilarious. Tom Cruise being "intimidating" is just not at all an easy sell.
But that’s because you know the character. Tom Cruise in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE is easily as much a bad ass as REACHER… and you believe it because that’s the character. I’ve read all the books…and I enjoyed these films. The TV SERIES gets it right…but CRUISE was the one who showed this was a viable property. CHILD couldn’t get it made until Cruise stepped in.
Personally I don't find this version intimidating..which is the whole point. Look at how the others react to him. He's not meant to seem scary, but he is. The tv(ish) series portrays him as a huge, smart and cunning character made great by Alan R. I'm not sure how his character is portrayed in the books, but I feel both are poignant amd great on their own. I like both
@@mythos000000025 Oh Cruise did dona good job no doubt, and I'm not suggesting there isn't something compelling about a guy who's normal size and harmless looking but he kicks ass. That said, book Reacher is actually meant to be even bigger than Alan Ritchson, so that's why I think his version is a bit more accurate.

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've read all the Reacher books. Reacher is 6'5", 250#. Cruise 5'8", maybe 165-70. Good camera work though.
You know you're old when you find "not needing a pen" when taking down an address is the most impressive thing you witness in this whole clip.

That's why this version seems more slick.
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.
This version sucks and this douche as Reacher is absurd
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.
He didn't have the height or weight, but definitely had all other aspects down pat. A very quiet very scary individual.
I think these acting roles are when Tommy lets his dark side out.
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 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.

Jack Reacher is like character in a video game that you played before and now you do rerun already knowing what is suppose to happen next.

I don't know any males that would disagree with that observation.
She Rocked it in "Surrogates", with Bruce Willis. ^v^
Yes, very doable, err I mean dateable.
The vampire LeStat is back! No mortal can kill him.
I remember being upset about that casting as I read all the books. He was different and good in that too. Not who I pictured Lestat to be.
I wished he would have made 3-4 reacher movies..
Cruise may not have been 6’4” and 250 pounds, but he was Jack Reacher. He played that role to a T.
Naw that would be reaching
The show is WAY better.
I don't. AR should get the movies.
REACHER is way better than this crap
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!
The guy you didn't count on❤ love that part!
Me!
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.
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.
I really enjoyed both Jack Reacher movies. Andy had some pretty clever one-liners.
"If it were up to me, I just kill you" Classic!!!
It's scenes from Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher : Never Go Back
Both exceptional films
Holy shit Werner Herzog? I think it's about time I saw this movie
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.
Tom did a great job acting in the movies. Too bad he wasn’t taller. Alan Richson does a great reacher ,too.
Tom Cruise and never seen one bad movie. Great Actor and always fun to watch.
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.
"Remember...you wanted this"
"Thats a pretty impressive responce time fellas"
Great lines.
Tom was fantastic as Jack Reacher., I have this both of them and everything else he makes
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.
".....its just gonna keep on ringin'... "😅😅😅
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
Jesus, that elbow KILLS
He doesn't believe in jesus
Cruise does an excellent job of playing Jack(in) Reach (around).🤣🤣🤣
Cruise did a good job but after reading the books I'm not sure he was the right one for this roll. Now, Mission Impossible...total badass
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
HE PLAYED THE PART WELL AS IT SHOUKD BE EXCELLENT ACTOR.
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
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"
@@Philc2 😄
i know Tom was not the physical specimen that Lee scripted. But i do appreciate this brought me to the books.
“Who the hell are you”
“I’m the man standing on the box”
Many people (including celebrities) don't like Tom Cruise, but he's a legit movie star and I dig his films.
@HLBear. If everyone likes you then you are most definitely doing something wrong.
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
i LOVE THE SECOND SCENE. that id is a active duty idea, once retired we get a nice little blue on that never expires.
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.
If Robert McCall, Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne were on the same team
Tom's version of Jack reacher were very good I thought, enjoyable and relatable. Cheers.
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
When your charisma is 100, you can do damn near anything
This is one hell of a movie. Reacher the series as well ❤❤.
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
Werner Herzog: Geniale Performance. Divine.
One of my favorite TC movies
It’s funny how similar they play reacher. All I see is Richardson.
About time they brought Tom back no one does it better
Too busy tossing David miscavige's salad
How do they make Cruise look as tall as all the other men in the movie? That is really awesome!
He stands on a box.
Seeing clips like this again after having seen Alan Ritchson's version of Reacher.....it's kind of hilarious. Tom Cruise being "intimidating" is just not at all an easy sell.
But that’s because you know the character. Tom Cruise in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE is easily as much a bad ass as REACHER… and you believe it because that’s the character. I’ve read all the books…and I enjoyed these films. The TV SERIES gets it right…but CRUISE was the one who showed this was a viable property. CHILD couldn’t get it made until Cruise stepped in.
Personally I don't find this version intimidating..which is the whole point. Look at how the others react to him. He's not meant to seem scary, but he is. The tv(ish) series portrays him as a huge, smart and cunning character made great by Alan R. I'm not sure how his character is portrayed in the books, but I feel both are poignant amd great on their own. I like both
@@mythos000000025 Oh Cruise did dona good job no doubt, and I'm not suggesting there isn't something compelling about a guy who's normal size and harmless looking but he kicks ass. That said, book Reacher is actually meant to be even bigger than Alan Ritchson, so that's why I think his version is a bit more accurate.
I know I could never be a henchmen, as soon as I see the first guy go down i'm like "nope! i'm out! have a good day Mr!"
You kind of want to go somewhat by the book, right? They finally got it right with Ritchson.
Who needs an accurate depiction of the book when this movie is entirely badass.
Don't mess with him, He does The Impossible
Jack Reacher is my favorite of all the characters that Tom has playesd
Funny how a lot of these comments are towards Tom being a shorter guy playing this role, but it was okay for Hugh Jackman to play Wolverine?
I agree withbyou Tom Cruze should have played wolverine.
@@dr.science9505lol nice
Wolverines are small animals
He was no joke😂😂😂😂Like it.
I thought Tom played a convincing Reacher.He was resourceful and fast.
Tom is a AWESOME actor
Jack Reacher turned a salt shaker into an assault shaker.
Did you think of that all by yourself....good boy.
