I had no idea 5'8 was now considered dwarf-size. Your incessant bashing is becoming sad. Did Cruise rape your mother or something? What gives?

He can't get it up for woman.

Someone has some thin skin.

I'll try to go easy on your hero from now on.

The midget part I agree with, but the Reacher character is past 50.

I just saw the trailer today and thought it looked really good.

I know nothing about the books, so I'll be able to judge it solely as a movie. More often than not that's a good thing...

I'd consider myself a fan of Cruise's stuff, and I have no idea what Jack Reacher is. But that trailer did not make me want to go see the flick. Hopefully a second trailer is way better.

Yeah the age isn't a factor here since Reacher was 45 in One Shot, the novel the movie is based off of.

So you agree that men that are 5'8 should be officially classified as midgets?

This is like casting Mickey Rooney as Zorro.
I'd argue that age at time doesn't play a factor in a fight depending on the person. Also...if you're going for size. My older cousin is about...5ft 4ins MAX and she's a marine. I once went to a concert w/ her after her duty was done...some guys wouldn't stop hitting on her then they got rough about it...she took down 4 6ft (at least) 200 plus pound guys in I'd guess less than 30 seconds. It was amazing to see and also horrifying. I'd never seen my cousin be violent.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Cruise is about 5'5". With his lifts he's probably close to 5'8", though.

If Cruise is listing himself at 5'8", Katie must be listing herself at 6'0"

I hate to burst your bubble, but I've actually met and talked to the man. He is my height, and I can tell you for a fact that he is not 5'5". He simply isn't.

How do you know he wasn't wearing lifts when you met him?

Maybe he, you know, got him out of them...

WTF? I just found out Werner Herzog plays the bad guy. Now this changes everything.

Same here. I enjoyed Collateral and this looks to be a fun action flick. Tom Cruise is cool.

I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise. Movies w/ him don't attract me cuz of him. It's usually something else about them. Granted...I don't follow his work like I do for other actors that interest me. Saying that...he's not a bad actor. Pretty damn good one who is rather versatile if he choose the project to so..otherwise...he's pretty entertaining either way.

If the movie didn't interest you, then why start discussion thread around it? Honest question.

Cuz I saw the trailer, saw the forum didn't have a thread for it, decided to do it myself. To boot it got my interest w/ that 1st one. I liked the feel that came off it. Kind of old schoolish.

Trailer pretty much hits every action cliche in the book. Pass.
