Review of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) by Tristan M — 16 Nov 2014

A typical Tom Clancy film, saving the world our your country, and having a more or less everyday dude doing it. To start ill day, this movie should have been over before it began. The missile that hit their helicopter head on would have killed them all, there's no way they could have survived that or the crash that followed.

The rest of the movie was nothing we haven't seen before; a top secret mission that involves evil Russians that want to take over the world, gadgets, and making your enemy trust you. The acting and sqript isn't great, and soldiers don't talk to each other the way they do in the film.

That fact that they add in the stocks and bankrupting the United States is a good add on to simply conducting terrorist attacks. It puts more thought and pointbuntinthe movie and makes it less like others that are already out there, put in the end there's not much new.

Overall the movie is ok, nothing special, and uses big name actors to draw attention to itself. Might as well skip it.
