Jack Ryan: Shadow
Recruit (2014)
Directed by Kenneth
Branagh this film stars Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Keira Knightly and
it's director. After breaking his back while serving as a US Marine
in Afghanistan a young man is recruited into the CIA.
Essentially this
reboot is a cash in on the popular Tom Clancy character rather than
an adaptation of any of the novels although it does contain the odd
piece here and there. While the first third to half of the film is
fairly sensible and realistic the rest of the film throws realism out
of the window in favour of standard action film silliness. The film
is pretty well made as you would expect from a director like Branagh
but the uneven tone of the script leaves a lot to be desired.
2/5
