Tom Cruise plans to smash your face in with "Jack Reacher" at the end of the month. But before you punch his fist with your face, how about hearing what the man has to say for himself first?

You'll have your chance during An Evening With Tom Cruise, an upcoming conversation with the actor hosted by The Film Society of Lincoln Center on Monday (December 17), just days before "Jack Reacher" opens nationwide. The evening will consist of a moderated conversation with Cruise, followed by an advance screening of "Reacher."

"Tom's body of work is defined by the bold characters he plays so brilliantly and his collaborations with filmmaking's most venerable directors. Tom consistently chooses smart and exciting projects and we are pleased to present audiences with a first look at his newest role, Jack Reacher," said FSLC Executive Director Rose Kuo in a press release. "We are honored to host this exciting evening and to support our 50th anniversary fund to benefit education and emerging artists."

An Evening With Tom Cruise kicks off a weeklong retrospective called All The Right Moves: The Films of Tom Cruise, running from December 18 through 20, and featuring a seven-film tribute to the Oscar-nominated actor, including the likes of "Top Gun," "Jerry Maguire," and "Mission: Impossible."

Tickets for An Evening With Tom Cruise go on sale on December 10. For more details, head over to Filmlinc.com.
