This film is the 4th installment of the “Jack Ryan” series of films based on author Tom Clancy novels that carry the same name. Ben Affleck plays Jack Ryan in this action drama whom gets inadvertently caught into international intrigue in which he must perform heroic efforts to prevent calamity from happening. The film is enjoyable from that standpoint.
Tom Clancy has a consistent plot and theme style that is quite prevalent in this novels and this clearly comes out in this film as well. This movie just barely meets the level of expectation and excitement of the previous Jack Ryan films despite some high profile acting include performances from Morgan Freeman and James Cromwell. The movie still has merit especially given some wonderful acting scenes by Liev Schreiber so you should enjoy the film.
