Storyline
A new version of the saga of CIA analyst, Jack Ryan. It begins when Ryan
was attending the London School of Economics; and 9/11 happened. He
would then enlist in the Marines and would go to Afghanistan. The
chopper he was on would get shot down and he would suffer severe
injuries that would require intense rehab. While there, he grabs the
attention of a man named Harper, who works for the CIA and would like
him to finish his studies and get a job on Wall Street so he can find
out of any terrorist plot through their finances. A few years later,
Ryan finds anomalies in the accounts of a Russian named Cherevin. Jack
thinks he should go to Russia to find out what's going on. Jack was told
not to tell anyone who he is and that includes his girl friend Cathy.
But she catches Jack in some lies which makes her doubt him. Jack goes
to Russia and Cherevin assigns him someone to take care of him. But when
they're alone the man tries to kill Jack. So Jack kills him. Obvious
Cherevin is hiding ...
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) Movie Reviews
January
is my least favourite month for new movies. By this time of year,
Hollywood studios are focusing much of their attention on the Sundance
Film Festival, looking to acquire hidden gems, potential blockbusters
and, and marvelous new indies. These films are generally purchased for
next to nothing, and then marketed and released throughout the summer
and fall months with the hope that they might land a huge profit. With
that being said, while Hollywood runs around securing their paychecks
for the upcoming year, the rest of their unwanted, formulaic, and
clichéd roster is leftover for audiences in January. Now let me be the
first to tell you, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is no exception to this
formula. Using the star-power of Chris Pine's Stark Trek franchise
charm, to faded out female leads like Kiera Knightley, and ex-Marvel
super director Kenneth Branagh (Thor), Ryan becomes a shady, old, and
tiresome relic of the glorified days of the once cool Tom Clancy
character. This was one film project we wish stayed in the deep dark
corners of Hollywood's unproduced films, but like much of the industry's
obsession with rehashing established characters and modernizing them
for current audiences, the film is a complete decomposed mush of ideas.
Shadow Recruit is an overly-flashy, glossed over disaster. Failing to
recruit any kind of originality in it's storytelling and script, it
becomes a non-operational feature with actors who are clearly cashing in
to a well established iconic Hollywood character.
