Overrated and overhyped

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It's always hard, when you're the fan of an original, to watch a modern remake and give it a fair chance. If you loved Harrison Ford's Jack Ryan movies, I'm not sure how you'll react to this reboot with Chris Pine. I never saw the originals, so to me, this was a brand new action movie.I wouldn't call myself an "action movie gal" but I do enjoy the genre. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit earns a place at the top in my book, right up there with Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible movies. The action scenes are exciting, and between Kenneth Branagh's menacing Russian bad guy tactics and Kevin Costner's air of mystery, the tension keeps you hooked throughout. Also, usually in action movies there's some sort of comic relief. Sometimes the humor is stupid, but not in this one. There's a clever banter written in for the lovebirds, and it gives you a laugh without making the movie silly.Now, I'm the first to admit my bias, so here it goes: Keira Knightly is my favorite modern actress. Keira plays Chris Pine's girlfriend; even though she doesn't have a very big part, she is my favorite part of the movie and the reason I keep watching it. I mean, what man alive wouldn't go to the ends of the earth to keep her out of harm's way? Shadow Recruit is a really good action flick, perfect for a guys' or girls' weekend. And there aren't any sex scenes, so it's a great date movie, with eye candy for both of you!

Jack Ryan, as a young covert CIA analyst, uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit tries to reboot the series once more with a different actor and this time we see Chris Pine as Jack Ryan who does a nice job with the material that was given to him as for Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley they also did a great job which brings me to the problem of the film which is the actor and director Kenneth Branagh who seems to do a much better job behind the camera than in front of it because the film has some pretty good action sequences and suspenseful thriller moments unfortunately Branagh's villain Viktor is easily forgettable and the way he finally gets killed it's pretty stupid. In the end Shadow Recruit is a very enjoyable Action Thriller with some pretty good action here and there and some spy stuff for the rest of the film but the villain could be re-casted in my opinion and that's why i'll give Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit an 9/10

It's entertaining movie, a perfect operator, a good script. Movie is about the villains from Russia, spies (!!!) (of course script has hackneyed cliché, maybe even stupid cliché... but anyway...), so... I liked this movie a lot... Anyway! :-) Great actors, exciting scenes… As always I was satisfied a lot with Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Costner. I was surprised to discovered Chris Pine. And as usual I didn't like Kira Knightley (i don't know why... i find her too much plastic). But I like acting of Elena Velikanova. Cute, open mind, creative person. She could show us strong, willed nature of Katya. In summary, I can only say that "Jack Ryan" is high-quality Hollywood product, I recommend everyone, who still haven't watched ;-)
