  Is anyone off to see any of the Christmas new releases over the holiday?
  
  There is one film I really must see. I am an avid reader of the Lee Child books about the hulking big tough ex military cop, Jack Reacher. When I heard that a film franchise was being planned around the books I though great, nothing could be better for such a franchise than these books.
  
  The I read that Tom Cruise was given the role of Jack Reacher.
  
  Never in the field of movie making can there have been such a badly cast character. There is absolutely no way Cruise can carry off the role of Reacher. It just will not work.
  
  I am still going to see the film but my expectations are very low indeed and having read a review of the film I am probably right. They seem to have really screwed up the script as well as the main character. I also do not know why they chose one of the later books to film rather than another earlier book where the character was developed, good as One Shot is, it is far from the best of them.
  
  Any other Lee Child readers out there, what do you think of the casting?.....
