Grade: B
You need to know that this is essentially a reboot of the franchise because the movie begins with Jack still in college and then quickly goes through his stint in the war, injury, and rehabilitation. To do that they had to get someone young and Chris Pine is pretty much the perfect age, 34, to play a character in their early 30s.

Personally, I never really warmed to Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. Ford’s age dictated that they jump into his career mid stream and so we could never see the early years of Ryan’s accidence. And in my opinion “The Hunt for Red October” is by far the best of the Jack Ryan movies and they should have made more movies with Alec Baldwin as Ryan.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

The villain of the story was very cardboard. There are only a few short scenes that clue the audience into why he’s so motivated to destroy the USA. There wasn’t enough substance to the villain to see the contrast between he and Ryan.
The last 30 minutes of the movie is fast paced and action packed. In fact I noticed that my heart rate was quite elevated for the final 10 minutes of the movie.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
