This wannabe thug was getting in the face of a chunky coworker not knowing this guy was very well trained in mma when he was younger. Needless to say, he knocked him out cold. You never know who your messing with. At the same job but different job site, a youngster ( 16 - 19 ) was getting in a heated argument and wanted to fight a guy named Felix who was a short guy mid 40's and cool as hell. It never led to them trading blows but later on down the line that old man showed me pictures from when he was a boxer.

A guy I grew up with was a National Judo silver medallist in the 90s. About 5 foot 8, 190pds and built like a fire hydrant. He bounced at a bar and was the calmest guy when working but when someone refused to leave or attacked him it never ended well. I was sitting eating with a group and at the table next to us this big guy (at least 6 foot 5 and 280pds) was being drunk and obnoxious. The bouncer went up to him and asked him politely to leave, the guy stood up, told him to F off and made a lunge towards him and within a blink of an eye the guys legs were straight up in the air and he came crashing down on the table and chairs. It was insane how quickly he threw him. Another time I saw him destroy three guys outside the bar that were trying to kick the door in to get back inside after being kicked out.

I feel that this scene is a perfect example of why Tom Cruise did such a good job with the character, because if they had gotten someone who did actually resemble the Jack Reacher character it would be kind of a given that he could take on this group of guys if anything we might be thinking why would they challenge such a man, but here with Tom not being a typical huge action hero type it's more entertaining seeing someone his size take on multiple guys and some bigger than himself.

[@TD-qg1bu]

That is the thing, you can spot SAS, special Forces guys a mile away - although great at what they do, they are no good as spies, undercover work - as said they stick out like a saw thumb. Now the 5ft 5-8, kind of guy - muscle, toned but not over the top weight lifting guy - just walks by, with no one paying any attention - that to me is why Tom does so well in this role - and the character should be like Tom - as that kind of guy/spy, is never sussed out until it is too late - he is unassuming, uninteresting, flies under the radar every time - people instantly over look him(no pun there, me and Tom are the same height, so I can't say shit) - you know, things that a spy need to be able to do - not stand out in a crowd, yet with a level of training and ability that would put pretty much special forces world wide to shame. Add to that intelligence and fore planning - a very dangerous adversary. This is what makes this movie brilliant and Tom as Reacher a dam good choice.

Arrogance-Offensive display of superiority or self importance. Overbearing. Pride Tv Reacher didn't care about the murders until he found out it was his brother. Then he just flat out disrespected the police chief and did whatever he felt like. He was like a toned down version of his Hawk character from Teen Titans. Confidence: A consciousness of one's own power. The quality of being certain. Cruises Reacher did everything he could to try to talk the guys out of a fight because he knew they did not stand a chance. He stayed cool headed and calm the whole time. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan but his Reacher simply had a cooler temperament. The other guy was a hot head.
