Reacher author Lee Child says Alan Ritchson is a better fit to play the former US Army military policeman than Tom Cruise was, because Cruise just doesn't have the necessary fear factor.
"I thought the first movie in particular was excellent. It was a really crisp, hard-edged thriller," Child told The Independent, referring to 2012's Jack Reacher. "Working with Tom was a pleasure and a privilege – he’s a really smart guy, he’s a smart filmmaker, he’s real fun. But you cannot escape the fact that Reacher is a huge guy."
