i loved the two Reacher movies with Cruise. i hated the part where he slowly destroyed the Chevelle, but whatever.,
as for his diminutive size; the books really played on his sizing. i think one book even went as far as calling him gorilla like. (could be wrong)..and the first movie, if it stayed with the spirit of the books, he would have banged the lawyer lady for sure.
i actually got tired of the books. it was the same recipe/formula over and over again for the 4-5 books i read. i think i fell off and started reading Mitch Rapp stories. and that movie sucked.
