Haven't tried either so I'll take your word for both.
No sex til you were in your 20s???? Stink. Explains the hostile personality though I guess.
From angst to sex in 3 posts ...

I think this was probably the strongest year in film this century. So many good films. I think of the 2015 films only Room and Spotlight probably would have deserved a nomination. The Revenant probably did as well but that film wasn't very enjoyable (for me).
La La Land or Moonlight I really don't think you could go wrong.

Even though he's a bit old these days, I reckon Neeson would have fucking nailed Jack Reacher. 1.93m vs Cruise 1.7m
They should probably approach Ardie.

@MajorRage Jason Bourne would smash them both!

Agreed @MajorRage. My better half and I are big fans of the books having read them all and when we heard that Tom Cruise of all actors was going to play him, we both let out a very loud "BOOO!"
Totally the wrong choice for Jack Reacher. Reacher is supposed to be somewhere around 6'4" and around 240 lbs depending on which book you read as it has varied over the years.
We then spent some time trying to figure out who would make a better "Reacher".
Certainly, Liam Neeson was a good candidate but unfortunately yes, he is getting a bit too old for that type of role and didn't have the musculature required.
Someone we both thought would have been a good "Reacher" was Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. He is tall, muscular and that similar strong silent type he plays with Wolverine (but without the Adamantium skelaton and claws).
Otherwise, there really is a dirth of tall musular actors who really fit the Reacher of the books.
We haven't watched either of the movies because neither of us can really stand Tom Cruise anyway and certainly not as one of our favorite characters from the book world.
Funnily, I don't know if anyone else here is a fan of the "Mitch Wrapp" books but Tom Cruise would fit that character much better than he does Reacher!
