Looking back between this movie and recent reacher series it’s just night and day. Don’t get me wrong Tom is an amazing actor and I love his movies, but he just doesn’t fit this role like Alan does. Tom just lack that intimidation factor in him, and this movie just made him looked horrible to put it in a bad way it’s like an edgy wanna be teenager pretending to be a tough guy.
I love it in movies when people who get punched always get knocked out immediately. In real life that hardly ever happens. Of course, Tom Cruise can also hang off of jet planes as they take off and can also parachute off of dirt bikes as he rides them off a cliff and then lands on a moving train, so it must be real.
If you are not a fighter in a fight, you go down fast because most people cannot take a hit. But even season fighter can get one shot. It all depends on angles and force.
That not entirely true. I have seen fight scenes where the fighters get hit so many times with fists baseball bats or crowbars but are still going strong when they should be dead.
Having read all the books…and digging Alan as Reacher…a perfect fit really, except for the size difference, he did all the REACHER stuff. I enjoyed both films. And Cruise showing that this character worked, made Alan chance happen. Without Cruise we never see the TV series.
I seen a video about the current Reacher series. The narrator made some points on how the series is becoming less interesting. I'm looking forward to watch, chiefly because I'm easily entertained anyway. But I do hope that if this is true that the writers and producers enjoy many years for a lasting and successful series.

@@GaryMurray-h9r It's true, Tom actually brings a certain X factor to the character. Alan's entire "skillset" is being a meatbag, and was chosen specifically because of that.

@TheSaltyAdmiral calling him a meatbag, is what Reacher actually is in all the books, so it's actually cringeworthy seeing a small man trying to fill a big man's shoes
I was just thinking the same thing. It was only after I had seen the movies that I found out how different Cruise was physically from Reacher in the books, and how spot on Alan Ritchson was.
The only problem I had with the Reacher books was that he was too big. The times when he was put upon by some guys, who in real life, would have walked away from a huge guy like Reacher from the books. I thought that worked for Tom in the films because he wasn't a giant, so the bad guys thought they wouldn't have much of a problem with him.

Cruise is a better actor than Ritchson. But honestly its not that vital to be an academy award winning actor. Ritchson fits the part better, and I dont believe it when 5’6” Tom Cruise beats up 10 guys. But Ritchson absolutely destroys guys, and its believable that he could do that. He’d play a great Batman.

Watching Tom cruise play this part now that Alan Ritchson has been playing it is like watching what Radiohead was like when they were opening for Alanis Morrisette.
One thing that Hollywood consistently gets wrong is the sound of a gun when it hits the floor. Real guns are metal. Hollywood guns are plastic-which why they always sound like a plastic squirt gun when it hits the floor. 8:30 mark.
@BerndThomasSchuller Actually, Ritchson should smile *less*, if he wants to be Reacher. Personality wise, he was too happy, too talkative, too humorous. Reacher never uses more words than necessary. Ritchson version rambles on.
@@thechapelperilous true its almost impossible to pick one over the other. They both have a different way they play the character and they're both good.
having seen only the movies and youtube clips of the tv show, and having not read the books, i think cruise is more believable than the tv guy, and here's why: the tv clips often show some guy(s) challenging reacher to a fight. personally, i'd hestiate to challenge someone that big and obviously strong to a fight. the smaller cruise is a more likely target that a typical tough guy would confidently go after.
Cruise has been a major film star for over 40(!) years now having first cracked the top 10 box office in 1983, yet nobody seems to have anything good to say about the guy. All people can do is bitch about how he's not right for whatever role he's in(like this one for instance). Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the World's Most Unpopular Movie Star for over four decades now! A true cinematic anomaly! The sonofabitch must be doing something right, except you'd never know it reading TH-cam comments.
I see so many of these guys in the comments who are so jealous of Cruise they search out the videos and comment about how bad he is, they do this not realising they are the losers wasting their time. If you don’t believe me go find more of the reacher videos, you’ll see, they hate cruises reacher but love to watch the TH-cam videos 🤣

Comparing a low budget made for TV series to a big budget Tom Cruise movie is an unfair comparison. Yet, I like each of these actors in the roll of Jack Reacher. Tom Cruise has the mega big movie star charisma that Amazon simply can't get out of Alan Ritchson. Ritchson is simply not at the same level even though he better matches up physically to what Jack Reacher is in the books that inspires the movies and Amazon series both. One big advantage though in Ritchson. He's available and affordable. Amazon would certainly have preferred to use Tom Cruise for their series but the world's highest paid movie star isn't exactly available or affordable for the small screen.
Tom Cruise was very good and believable as Reacher, he may not fit the description of Reacher in the book but he was very believable and personally I preferred his portrayal of the character to the big new guy in the series.,

I doubt if Tom Cruise would go for it, but if he did, CGI plus other technology in special effects (like AI deep fakes) can give you a Tom Cruise that would fit the description of Reacher in the books. Look what special effects did for Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy, and Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. Personally, I like the way both Alan Ritchson and Tom Cruise portray Jack Reacher.
When Tom Cruise's version of Jack Reacher killed guys it was that they laughed to death at the fact that dinky little Tom Cruise was playing a character who was supposed to be a 6'5" behemoth. I was a fan of the novels from way back and always hated Tom Cruise in this role.
how do lead and copper bullets strike sparks, hmm? You never pop out around cover at a normal height, you do so from prone, squatting, kneeling, different place each time and you dont expose more than your head/arm and never for more than about 1.5 seconds. You stay far enough back from cover to let you straighten your arms, so you are exposed for much less time and you're ready to fire the instant you are exposed.
Now if I was as well trained a badass as Reacher, while the bad guy is monologuing near the end of the vid, I would be creeping towards him slowly and quietly to make sure I get the drop on him.
The movies are great. I saw them before I got to read a Reacher novel. Lee Child puts a lot of emphasis on Reacher's size. Tom Cruise is not that guy. Alan Ritchson is.

I am glad I had a chance to test the best scenes. I fell asleep, so that’ll save me the trouble of watching the next-best scenes …
In fullscreen, i cant tell if im watching mission impossible or jack reacher
A black sedan 😂😂
When Tom Cruise's version of Jack Reacher killed guys it was that they laughed to death at the fact that dinky little Tom Cruise was playing a character who was supposed to be a 6'5" behemoth. I was a fan of the novels from way back and always hated Tom Cruise in this role.
I enjoy these movies, but Ritchson just smashes Cruise's Reacher to pieces.
Cruise is definitely a better Reacher than Ritchson. Much better.
😂 yeah saying that 💩, you better run 💪
The first guy he beats up is Hardison from the show Leverage.
Tom Cruise is so small he had to dress the jacket with another jacket inside.
Anyway I can turn off shorts?
I believe Tom as Jack Reacher more than the TV guy because why in the world would fight someone that is supposed to be like 6'5" and jacked
I've enjoyed many of Cruise's films but Ritchson's Reacher blows the movie Reacher away!
Not really.
Tom cruise is such a wimp in real life!
All the MPs running around, looking like the Keystone Cops is about as realistic as it comes!!
how do lead and copper bullets strike sparks, hmm? You never pop out around cover at a normal height, you do so from prone, squatting, kneeling, different place each time and you dont expose more than your head/arm and never for more than about 1.5 seconds. You stay far enough back from cover to let you straighten your arms, so you are exposed for much less time and you're ready to fire the instant you are exposed.
I cannot take the little guy seriously,Jack Reacher is 8 in taller and 100 lb havier than him
OhWhau! Those six shooters contain at least 60 rounds each...
Now if I was as well trained a badass as Reacher, while the bad guy is monologuing near the end of the vid, I would be creeping towards him slowly and quietly to make sure I get the drop on him.
Its been a while since I was at school but I'm pretty sure that was three scenes.Not two...
the woman major is out of touch with reality
Nah, just naive. She got over it quick, though.
The movies are great. I saw them before I got to read a Reacher novel. Lee Child puts a lot of emphasis on Reacher's size. Tom Cruise is not that guy. Alan Ritchson is.
