  Jack Reacher Trailer Goes a Long Way to Sell Tom Cruise, Badass
 Wed, October 17, 2012
Wed, October 17, 2012 Much outcry was heard upon the casting of Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, the military cop-turned-cop. Fans of the novels said Cruise lacked any of Reacher’s physical characteristics. Creator Lee Child responded, "Trust me, it'll work..."
The trailer (via Yahoo! Movies) for the self-titled debut film intended as a franchise in the event the Chris McQuarrie-helmed actioner takes off this Christmas makes the case. A wonderfully '70's, Friedkin vibe on display, the idea of Werner Herzog as the baddie is a great example of "Fortune favors the bold," and Cruise has the drive to win over his detractors.
