About this movie

"An action hero is reborn!"* raves top critics about the "intense, exciting"* origin story of Tom Clancy's iconic hero Jack Ryan. The thrills are non-stop as CIA recruit Ryan (Chris Pine) is caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and espionage spun between a shadowy government agent (Academy Award-Winner Kevin Costner), his unsuspecting fiancée (Keira Knightly) and a fearless Russian power broker (Kenneth Branagh). Jack must quickly evolve from soldier to analyst to full-fledged operative to stop a devastating terrorist plot against the United States. The stakes have never been higher in this "taut, tense and terrific" thrill ride. *Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood ** Bill Bregoli, CBS Radio News

Was looking for an action flick indicative of the Bourne series, I didn't expect to be blown away by Shadow Recruit but am typically easy to please. This film completely missed the mark. The plot was limp and filled with holes. The acting would have been laughable if I hadn't been crying over the 5 bucks I'd just flushed. And the directing... Well there are just no words...

Not good, movies are for entertainment. Movies are a way for one to project his or her thoughts into a masterpiece or at least a decent showing. This movie is non of that. The directing and acting is weak, the characters have little development and it gets to the point where you really do not care what happens. The concept is well thought but badly played. This movie is dull, boring, and just plain awful.

Great movie... I'm not a professional critic, so I recommend this movie to the average person who can sit down and enjoy a movie without directing each and every single scene. Those people probably live very sad lives.
