Title: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit<\/p>\n

Directed By: Kenneth Branagh<\/p>\n

Starring: Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Keira Knightley, Kenneth Branagh, Lenn Kudrjawizki, Nonso Anozie, Gemma Chan<\/B><\/p>\n

The second great depression? Who cares? Where\u2019d the cute decoy dog go?<\/p>\n

\u201cJack Ryan: Shadow Recruit\u201d focuses on the Tom Clancy-created character, Jack Ryan (Chris Pine), a CIA analyst who\u2019s suddenly made operational after coming across hidden files suggesting a Russian oligarch is about to unleash a devastating financial attack on the United States. As the most knowledgeable person on the case, Jack\u2019s superior, William Harper (Kevin Costner), decides he\u2019s the man for the job and sends Jack on his first field assignment to Moscow where he\u2019s expected to uncover the details of the terrorist plot before Kenneth Branagh\u2019s Viktor Cherevin can topple the economy. <\/p>\n

Oddly enough, more happens to Jack in the 15 minutes prior to everything in that synopsis. We meet a young Jack in London where his studies are interrupted by the 9\/11 attacks. He\u2019s inspired to join the Marines and becomes an all-star solider until his helicopter is shot down, landing him in rehab for months. His doctor-in-training, Cathy Muller (Keira Knightley), motivates him to suck it up and get back on his feet, and that\u2019s when Costner\u2019s Harper moves in, waiting until the time is right and then recruiting Jack for the CIA. Now that\u2019s<\/I> a movie. The script doesn\u2019t give these life-changing events much time to breathe, but based on this sampling, had the film chronicled the ups and downs of Jack\u2019s career prior to becoming an analyst, there would have been far more heart and meaning to the experience.<\/p>\n

But clearly that\u2019s not the case and we\u2019re left with a confusing and often unjustified plot progression. First off, it\u2019s important to know that Jack Ryan isn\u2019t James Bond or Jason Bourne. He\u2019s an analyst. He isn\u2019t out to save the world one fistfight at a time. He\u2019s trying to save the world by conducting an audit, and it\u2019s as dull as it sounds. On the surface, Cherevin\u2019s plot to collapse the dollar is intriguing, but when we get down to the nitty gritty, essentially down to Jack\u2019s world, it\u2019s just too tough to follow along. Suspense peaks when you find out what Cherevin is capable of, but then while Jack is trying to stop him, it\u2019s all talk and keyboard banging, very little of which registers, so that initial suspense dies out right along with your patience.<\/p>\n

Another thrill-killer is the fact that you never doubt Jack. He wows with his intellect, but the most compelling material is when you see the genius crack, and almost all of those moments are crammed into the first act of the film. The characters talk about Jack\u2019s inexperience, but never once do you fear that it\u2019ll get the better of him and possibly cost him his life, which is unfortunate because when Pine is tasked with showing off a combination of confidence and vulnerability, he nails it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one particularly brilliant fight sequence between Pine and Nonso Anozie that isn\u2019t just above and beyond due to combat choreography, but also because there\u2019s character development in the mix, too. Here, Jack is solidified as a capable operative, but also one with weaknesses. Whereas you should go through the rest of the film wondering when Jack\u2019s mid-fight luck and wit will run out, that concept is totally abandoned and replaced with someone with sky-high confidence, following premeditated instructions and acting like a hero well before he\u2019s earned the title.<\/p>\n

In fact, there actually isn\u2019t a single character in \u201cJack Ryan: Shadow Recruit\u201d that earns his or her title, or the right to be called a fully formed character for that matter. Knightley\u2019s Cathy had a shot, but Cathy and Jack\u2019s entire relationship leans on tacky dialogue and totally unrealistic displays of warmth. But the worst of it is when Cathy randomly joins team CIA as though it\u2019s totally plausible that an average citizen would be permitted to take part in a top-secret effort to thwart a terrorist attack and manage to charm the target without an ounce of apprehension. Poor Costner has it even worse because there really is no point to Harper. He and Jack don\u2019t seem to share much of an emotional relationship and his involvement in Moscow does nothing to move the narrative forward. He might as well have been an anonymous voice on the phone feeding Jack instructions.<\/p>\n

And then we have Branagh\u2019s villain, Cherevin. There\u2019s little to no reason to describe him beyond that because that\u2019s all he is, you\u2019re typical villain. His motivations aren\u2019t convincing, his weaknesses are literally spelled out and he doesn\u2019t even do anything besides scowl in his office and at a dinner table. The wheels of his plan are already in motion by the time we meet Cherevin so his only responsibility is to keep Jack from screwing anything up and that isn\u2019t half as cinematic as fighting to achieve a goal.<\/p>\n

Branagh falls quite short when it comes to directing the film, too. The large majority of \u201cJack Ryan\u2019s\u201d problems are in the script, but Branagh also has a distractingly tough time stringing together meaningful scene transitions and makes a couple of strange choices in terms of shot composition. At one point in the film, Jack leans over a man at a work station to analyze what\u2019s on his computer screen and instead of giving us access to Jack\u2019s face, Branagh opts to cover the moment from the side, so all we can see is Pine\u2019s bicep. And then there\u2019s a moment when he shows Cherevin strutting down a walkway wearing his sunglasses with two other beefy men donning shades on either side of him \u2013 because that wouldn\u2019t raise some public concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack Ryan: Shadow Recruit\u201d could have gotten away with quite a bit had it not been for the abundance of plot holes. Pine didn\u2019t get enough to work with here, but there\u2019s definitely something magnetizing about him \u2013 and it\u2019s not just that pretty face. The most compelling scenes of the film, whether they\u2019re action or talk-based, are the ones where you see Jack think. Pine gets slammed with abysmal scenes like one towards the tail end of the film where Jack jumps from computer to computer and solves the whole mystery without a single explanation and without ever giving you access to what\u2019s going on inside his head, and there\u2019s just nothing he can do about it. However, when he does get something he can turn into a robust, meaningful character detail, like certain facial expressions and reactions in the bathroom fight sequence, he does just that and then some. If only there had been more opportunities like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack Ryan\u201d isn\u2019t a total loss, but it\u2019s especially disappointing because it could have been so much better. This was a great chance to take the typical spy movie we\u2019re used to and churn out something that offers a similar thrill, but with a fresh, thoughtful spin via Jack\u2019s intellect. But in order for that to have happened, we needed a compelling mystery that we could be part of, not one that we could watch Jack solve himself.<\/p>\n
