I just finished The Black Box, predictable ending so basically its a rather weal Bosch novel.

I hear Jack Reacher is falling behind, most people would rather go see the Hobbit.

I dissed Total Recall when it came out but kinda liked the disc. Would have been a different history if this one came out first before the original, I think it would have done quite well.

Its not surprising on other forums many are also dissing the casting of Tom Cruise, one poster said there was a scene where they had to dig a trench so the other actors were at least head level with him.

The casting of a book hero is difficult. People who actually read all the books in a series expect the main character to look like the author portrayed him. Tom Cruise does not look like Jack Reacher.

If Tom Cruise played Harry Bosch, I wouldn’t go to see it. I can’t tell you how much that would annoy me.
