Review of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) by Ricardo S — 21 Jun 2014

Good but not so great! It's just another spy movie with an over the top villain that's plotting world domination. It's predictable and generic. They sacrificed what made the Jack Ryan character unique.

I'm not saying that the movie didn't work as some Bond/Bourne/Mission Impossible wannabe with bits and pieces slapped together from every spy thriller ever made. It captured successful elements from those films pretty well.

It's just a shame that they relied on recycling tired and over used narrative.
