Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Reviews

“I put lightbulb in your mouth!”

We always over-exaggerated the scene, but iconic. Really fun action movie.

Really loved this movie 🍿

7/10

I think it’s the best Jack Ryan ever put on a screen. Would love to see a second out of the same cast

Not the best Jack Ryan, but not the worst (sorry Affleck). Man, Chris Pine has been everyone in everything.

Good

Rated: 6.3/10 ⭐️

Starting my Tom Clancy binge. I expected a gripping thriller, but the generic plot left me underwhelmed.

What Worked:
• Pine brings a great, grounded energy. The reluctant analyst thrown into the fire really works for me.
• Branagh’s Cherevin brings a nice, cold menace.
• Doyle’s score gave a driving rhythm that kept my adrenaline up.

The Friction:
• The action felt flat. The set pieces lacked that edge-of-your-seat thrill for me.
• The “fiancée flies to Moscow” subplot really dragged for me, slowing down the actual espionage stuff.
• The final act wraps up way too easily. I honestly wanted a complex chess game, not a basic ending.

Verdict:
Watch this if you just want a breezy, straightforward spy flick for a lazy weekend. Skip it if you’re looking for the deep, complex political intrigue of the older Clancy adaptations.

Pretty good!! Edited well and entertaining

Really good movie! Recommended!

toujours la même histoire mais avec des personnages différents...

I didn’t realize the cast was this good. Action was well done. Story was okay, it works. But overall typical action adventure espionage movie.

Nice movie
Interesting plot which kept me engaged
6.5/10

Can always appreciate a good movie about espionage and trying to save America from a terrorist attack.

3/2/25

i’m a huge fan of Chris Pine and this was no different. he did great as Jack Ryan (no one will hold a candle to John Krasinski) however the third act felt a little lacklustre. Regardless, a action packed spy thriller that anyone can enjoy

Good shit

Pretty good story, great performances
