Review of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) by Marian L — 02 Jan 2015

This movie is the typical blockbuster with lots of sleek and big-scale fight scenes. However, Keira Knightly's character Cathy is quite weak. She doesn't add too much to the storyline, and making her character a doctor is a desperate attempt to make her seem as strong and intelligent as Jack Ryan.

But, in essence I don't find her character anything more significant than the girlfriend of Jack Ryan. Some of the editing is very choppy, and there are some random scenes that didn't fit to the movie.

Also, this movie is full of corny one-liners and jokes with no wit.
