Jack Reacher - Movie
« on: December 22, 2012, 03:27:47 pm »
Jack Reacher

Released from Boxing Day at the cinema.

I've enjoyed Lee Child's books for years with Jack Reacher as the central character so its off to the Cinema next week for the movie. I generally like Tom Cruise's movies so we shall see...

Im going to sound like a right muptard now. We have Cineworld Unlimited cards, can we see movies before they are on general release? Are these special previews for Cineworld members?

Reacher is 6'5" and 220-250lbs. Er sorry Tom but you don't quite measure up.

I believe Lee Child has defended it by saying it's how he projects himself. We shall see.  :happy2:

Defending himself saying chr-ching I would think

just looked up who actually is 6'5'':


Dolph Lundgren although he is getting on bit

Others are

Dwayne Johnson (the Rock)

Steven Seagal (he has done enough ex cop on the edge movies)

Liam Neeson (6'4")  who knew ?

David Hasselhoff !

Wild card - Jonathan Frankes (6'4") if he put some gym time in

I thought Gerard butler would have been good due to his role gamer

I'm not a great Tom Cruise fan but apparently he does all his own stunt work and he is undoubtedly pretty good at it. Is he also involved in providing money and co-producing this movie?

^ Both possible good reasons why he is playing the main role.

Yes. You should get regular emails from Cineworld advising. If you have opted out of Cineworld emails, the. You won't find out. We've been to about 6-7 Pre release showings this year.

....Yep, as I thought: Tom Cruise is a co-producer and will have put money into the film project and had some control. He is also a big box office attraction of course.

Thanks, Hedge  :happy2:
