From NetFlix:
CIA analyst Jack Ryan tries to thwart a terrorist plot to bring down the U.S. economy in this action-thriller helmed by Kenneth Branagh. Chris Pine plays the title character alongside an all-star cast that includes Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley.
Seen one, seen them all. But some action films offer at least something that is unique to the film. For me, seeing Kenneth Branagh (who also directed the film) as the Russian villain was a welcome novelty. Nor did it hurt having Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley in the film. Chris Pine as Jack Ryan presents a personality that is a new and more honest approach, namely: he does not pretend to be the perfect, invulnerable hero. Rather the whole espionage game is new and unwelcome to him. When the first attempt is made on his life, he is scared to death with trembling to match. Still, in the several unrealistic action sequences (but then, aren’t they all unbelievable ?) Jack Ryan would never have survived.
Who cares? Just sit back and enjoy the pandemonium.
