Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)

OK thriller

It's an OK thriller, both the leads Pine and Knightley and Kevin Costner as the "shadowy boss figure" do their best, but the plot twists etc. Are sort of silly, the "bogeyman" concept with the Russian, played by Kenneth Branagh, comes across a bit of a cliche, it's OK and watchable but nothing more, there is never a time when you feel like the hero is in real danger, and they always seem to have some quick solutions for all the problems they face.

So it's OK but not really special.
