As for Cruise in the role... I haven't read the books and know nothing of Reacher, but I generally don't buy in to the author's physical description of the character unless its integral to the character. Playing the part is more about attitude, IMO.
Would you have gone for a 5' 6" Terminator? Conan the Barbarian? Khal Drogo?
IMHO size often matters.
