Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

I'm starting to become a Chris Pine fan & can understand why Quentin Tarantino has said that Pine is his favourite of the "Chris's" (Pine, Hemsworth, Pratt & Evans) all guys are good in their own way & each has made some excellent films each & all have their own fans. Chris Pine still feels the most underrated & low-key of the bunch in my opinion as he pops up in lots & even leads films like the new Star Trek films & is a main lead in the Wonder Woman films & held his own next to Denzel Washington in the fantastic Thriller, Unstoppable & has obviously made alot more but Pine still doesn't feel "Big" like a huge movie star as the other Chris dudes seem much Bigger!!!

Avoid at all costs. There's so much better out there - The Good Shepherd (yum, yum) The Hunt for Red October (dramatic), Watchman (short novel).

A reasonable action movie about Jack Ryan. In recent weeks I have seen the 2 seasons about this CIA agent and they clearly have more time to explain the story in more detail and better.

No one cares if you are a huge Tom Clancy fan or not. No one cares if you prefer Harrison Ford, or Alec Baldwin.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was the latest Jack Ryan film adaption, Abe the first since 2002 Sum of all Fears. Having seeing that film, can say that this 2014 version feels superior in many ways.

This review focuses on the negative critics, which I find to be quite unrepresentative of the movie.Most negative reviews focus on the act that the marketing tag line "trust no one" was woefully unrepresentative of the actual plot.

Shadow Recruit comes with a plot that can be described as a mixed bag of stereotypical tropes, fairly believable outcomes and a predictable conclusion. The characters follow a similar concept as the plot, thus creating a group of familiar figures that one expects to see in a spy flick that focuses on a Russian plot against the United States.

The plots follows Jack Ryan, a second lieutenant in the US Marine Corps, who was injured during his time in Afghan, upon his recovery, he is secretly hired by the CIA as a Analyst. He discover a Russian named Cheverin is involved in some dubious dealings, he must now travel to Russia inorder to investigate.

A nice and entertaining film. Chris Pine is OK for the role.
