Review of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) by Dawdlingpoet — 28 Nov 2021

This film is an easy and fairly diverting watch, although its certainly cliched. The Russian accents made me cringe a bit and the plot was unbelievable - of course thats to be expected to an extent but I found myself unsure quite how the plot had arrived at the point it had, perhaps mid way through.

There is the usual what could be called 'countdown, hurry hurry!' fast music played to try to increase the tension - its not by any means unwatchable but it didn't quite work for me entirely. Its certainly not a memorable film but, as I say, its diverting enough to pass time if your bored - it could be a fair bit better but I suppose it could be worse, hence my 4 out of 10 star rating.
