Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Outdated revamped twoddle

A very average film with a very simple and unrealistic script., about a guy who gets recruited into the cia and ends up trying to stop the russians attack america basically. its all very cliche stuff. very patriotic twoddle , i did laugh early in the movie at that. and wondered when the statue of liberty would make a appearance and a few moments later there it wasl. the only difference in this movie is there was no creature to destroy it or some other disaster..
what really spoils this film is the whole girlfriend plot and how she ends up with him and getting involved. they killed the movie there and then with that plot. but the whole way they first met has been done so many times. like everything about this film , its like some bad segal movie from the 80's but done with modern cast.
its outdated in so many ways. the action was limited the plot silly and lacked detail. nothing felt right in this movie. no chemistry between actors. nothing. but if you just want something to watch the ins and outs wont bother you and your probably coming away saying this film was ok.
