Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Ratings & Reviews

November 30, 2024
to actiony
Observer
Rex Reed
The dim star wattage in this fifth rehash is palpable from the start.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
A pretty suspenseful, largely engaging, and hardly ever too-over-the-top spy thriller.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Branagh runs through all of this efficiently enough, but it feels awfully familiar.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
[T]he film's second half seems determined to snuff out the promise of its first, making it hard to wish for this incarnation of the character, or any, to have more big-screen adventures.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Branagh might as well have opened a can and dumped it on a plate, the ridges of a factory-line production still perfectly hatched on a gelatinous cylinder of crud.
ChrisStuckmann.com
Chris Stuckmann
The vulnerability of the Jack Ryan character is still present, something very important that keeps us rooting for him.
The New Yorker
David Denby
"Shadow Recruit" is fun in a minor, winter-season way.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
It's rare that a movie like this should be longer, but a little elongating might help this clipped, B-grade thriller resonate a little deeper.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Director Kenneth Branagh's biggest mistake was in the casting of the villain: Kenneth Branagh.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
An awkward amalgam of tropes from two different sub-genres, with terrorist sleeper cells and gangster oligarchs operating side by side.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
This is moviemaking in a modular mode, an inspiration-free action adventure-with cheesy cinematography-that fills its modest running time by fitting together familiar elements into something reliably, even insistently, not new.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Too much of the action in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit takes place on laptops, thumb drives, and video monitors.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" comes off as a reasonable facsimile, serviceable but not compelling, something that could pass for the real thing if you're not looking too hard.
NPR
David Edelstein
Branagh brings no style to Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, and no heart.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
"Jack Ryan" is slick, loud, assured, overplotted (way overplotted), fairly diverting, and pretty much empty.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Branagh, who proved his action bona fides with "Thor," does an inarguably competent job of choreographing a modestly intelligent espionage thriller, even if it's impossible to identify anything new he's bringing to an already groaning table.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
As espionage thrillers go, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit skillfully marshals all the familiar elements. That's the damn problem.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Under taut direction from Kenneth Branagh (who also plays the Russian heavy), Pine is convincing as a character who is pushing papers one day, and dodging assassins in Moscow the next.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Pine brings a welcome boyishness and idealism to Ryan, but he's clobbered with clichés by his director and screenwriters. The evildoers, it turns out, were right in his own backyard.
