Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan finds new life in the espionage thriller Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. While on a covert mission to Russia CIA analyst Jack Ryan uncovers a secret plot to cripple the American economy. Starring Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner, and Kenneth Branagh, the casting is quite good. And, Branagh’s directing does an effective job at making the action scenes intense and exciting. But there are some pacing issues, causing the film to lag and lose momentum. As a reboot Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit works and delivers some thrills, but it doesn’t live up to the previous installment of the franchise.
