Review of Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021) by Cr171C — 30 Apr 2021

Absolute rubbish...Hollywood corrective casting again.....completely different story from the book....Karen Greer.....completely fabricated just to crowbar in a black woman, and in a position far from anything a woman is yet to achieve.

Don't get me wrong, I am no racist and I firmly believe in equality but this is flagrant misrepresentation.! We should celebrate firsts as triumphs....so when there is the 1st female SEAL let's celebrate it but no Hollywood wants to tell us that a black woman is a SEAL commander? Itsoffensive to me that Hollywood seems to want to muddy the water on factual instances.

Aside from this there has now been a prevalence of TV series and films looking to insert a multicultural cast into historical drama. I can understand it as comedy, but I cannot see anyone accepting say a remake of Zulu where all the Zulus cast are white, or a series or film set in the southern states of the US where all the slaves are cast as white and the "Masters" are black.

The actress playing Karen Greer...Jodie Turner-smith has also been involved in a series playing Anne Boleyn.... and whilst it would hardly noticed these days a black person in Europe at the time let alone England would have any chance of holding such station.

I want there to be equality for all, male, female and all races from all walks of life but this sort of casting makes a mockery of the struggle to beat racism and sexism. A very good book has been insulted by this farce of a film and I am shocked to see Tom Clancy giving it his blessing.

For such a "momentus" inclusion, jodie turner-smith is at best "wooden" whoever told her she could act was being overly kind and she should stick to modelling.the rest of the cast are no more than mediocre including the usually very good Guy Pearce.
