I liked those 2 movies ... I am not a Tom Cruise fan though

Mixed feelings.

Reacher in the books is a 6'5" 250lb lump of iron. Tom Cruise is not.

BUT...Cruise had the style and personality to kinda pull the role off. The movies also would not have been made without him in the lead role to attract the studio funding. I still couldn't get past the physical/size issue though, a lot of who Reacher is is down to his size and how that lets him go about things. 

Clint Eastwood in his 40's would have been a perfect fit. 

Random fun fact, one of my bessies who used to do a lot of TV work said the most charming, polite, switched on, pleasant, respectful and easy to interview celeb she ever worked with was Tom Cruise.

I have a hard time putting this book down ...

China’s Silent Takeover While Americas Elite Slept

The difference between China and the West is they establish long plans. 10, 20 or 30 years.

Where as our politicians plans are dictated by elections every 4 or 5 years.

And they dont bitch / care about human rights, P.C., freedom etc.... 

Alain Peyrrefitte wrote a book in 1973 "when  China will wake up, the world will tremble" 

And he was right.
