Is Tom Cruise big enough to carry 'Jack Reacher'?

The opening minutes of the action-thriller "Jack Reacher" unfold with a display of gun violence that will be strikingly familiar to anyone who has been horrified by headline news in recent weeks. A sniper is shown assembling his long-range assault rifle. He then leans over a balustrade and goes about systematically assassinating innocent victims, seemingly at random, as they walk along a Pittsburgh riverfront.
