Alan Ritchson is a good choice for the Jack Reacher role, I kind of agree with mitrebin about Tom, but his mega-star rating makes him six feet tall in most of his films.
Amazon Prime do need to release some more attractive content, it’s still surprising that this SVOD service has not developed some product consistency, Amazon offers some really poor movies and shows to fill genre lists with just a few of their better original offerings in between.
I’m excited for this as I just recently finished reading the book.
Now that’s a “Jack Reacher” !! Sorry Tom, but you never met any of the criteria !!
Yes, wholeheartedly agree with you !
Spot on! Reading the books there is a clear picture of Jack Reacher and Tom just did not tick a single box in my head.
I’m still laughing at Family Guy the other night with Tom Cruise the same height as Stewie 😆 but yes Tom reached so many heights in his career just not the one Jack Reacher is meant to be.
I’m stoked to read that he’ll still be staying on Titans whilst fronting this show.
