I read a few of the Reacher books, and put them in the 'Airport books' or 'Dad books' categories. Enjoyable, but as deep as a puddle.

The Cruise flicks would have been better off being Reacher inspired. 5'6 cruise ain't the man for that role.

I think Cruise is a decent actor but a twat of a person.

Except on set, he's apparently really good and ensures crews are well taken care of. It's self interest, as he's usually the producer, but at least he's not exploiting workers, like others.

As a private citizen, yeah he can kick rocks.
