Review of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) by Ian H — 12 Jul 2014

While Branagh does a decent enough job (there were a few flashes of directorial brilliance), he can't save this mind-numbingly terrible script. Unless the intent was to make a film without characters.

If so, they nailed it. Because never in my filmgoing career have I given fewer shits about any of the characters on the screen. Still, the animal part of my brain found some enjoyment in the mindlessness of it all.
