I really don't understand how someone of Kings writing ability would allow his work to be butchered, it's not like he needs the money.
The actors could not have read the book, the script writers must have briefly glanced at the book, the director was drunk whilst it was edited by a 2-year-old.
This was the worse film based on a novel I have ever watched.

The script was 7 years old when finally put to use. The movie was in development hell and was subject to a quick hashjob attempt to make. King himself wrote the script and what followed.
He didn't just allow it, he was part of it. Rich people never have enough money. This happens to good ideas all the time. Had high hopes for new Jack Ryan films (Tom Clancy) only to see a likeable actor in Chris Pine given a DOA movie.
Anyway, Jack Reacher 7/10. Not sure why I gave this a miss for so long. A slave to Scientology or not, Cruise knows how to stick a good movie.
