Without Remorse
On merit, this is two hours' worth of pretty good action/spy thriller with some spectacular action scenes (the plane sequence is pretty epic) and the usual expected political intrigue set in the present day Syria, America and Russia, and I enjoyed it for that - on that alone, it doesn't deserve some of the low ratings it's gotten. But when you consider the source material for this is Tom Clancy's Vietnam-era espionage thriller, you can only shake your head and wonder what could have been.
The loose backstory of John T. Kelley aka John T. Clark's backstory has been lifted from the Cold War days of the CIA vs. KGB, has some Russian mob elements thrown in, and that is something that long-time fans of Tom Clancy (such as myself) are up in arms about. They've re-cast Kelley (he's gone from Irish American in the book to African American here) and so many other characters, discarded a few more, and changed so much of what made Without Remorse arguably the best of the Ryanverse novels. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for diversity in films, and I thought Michael B. Jordan was dry good as the lethal SEAL operator and there are other good performances - Guy Pearce and Jamie Bell to name just two - but I really wish they had kept Kelley and his story truer to the source material. - jayydee3 - 5 September 2022
Just a really terrible movie !
They took one of Tom Clancy's best works and turned it into a terrible movie.
The acting was just awful and the plot made no sense, if you could understand it at all. Of course the perception that American --Military, CIA and FBI can operate worldwide with impunity (the mission to Murmansk) which is just not true. Glad I got this movie free from the library and didn't have to pay to watch it. The script writers and directors should be ashamed of themselves.
They could have followed the actual book and it would have made sense and been more exciting. The familiar movie scenario today take a couple of known actors and throw them in with unknowns and hope the movie sells.
