First Look at Tom Cruise in JACK REACHER
Here’s our first official look at Tom Cruise as an ex-military policeman turned vigilante drifter in Christopher McQuarrie’s upcoming thriller JACK REACHER. Based on Lee Child’s best selling novel One Shot, the film centers on Reacher as he finds himself drawn into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. The casting of Cruise displeased many fans of the book as Jack Reacher’s physical appearance was described as: “A giant, standing at 6′ 5″ tall (1.96m) with a 50-inch chest, and weighing between 210 and 250 pounds (100–115 kg). He has ice-blue eyes and dirty blond hair. He has very little body fat, and his muscular physique is completely natural. He is exceptionally strong but is not a good runner.” Of course it all comes down to who will draw in the crowds and Cruise has delivered time and time again on these types of action flicks. I’m really looking forward to seeing some footage. The film hits theatres in 2013. Image courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.
Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me.
And sure enough, ex—military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter–a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right–and soon the slam-dunk case explodes.
Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning–and then beat him shot for shot.
