A good movie

Posted : 9 years, 3 months ago on 2 December 2014 10:25

In 2014, they tried again to relaunch this franchise with a very young version of Jack Ryan played this time by Chris Pine but since it didnโ€™t get much love, it seems that they pretty much dropped the whole thing again. In fact, 10 years ago, they already tried to reboot this franchise with a younger version this time played by Ben Affleck and even though it failed to generate some sequels, in fact, I thought it was actually a pretty good flick. Sure, I have to admit, Ben Affleck, whose career was slowly going down the drain at the time and which would finally become a running joke, was not really good here as he was hardly convincing as a CIA analyst but Morgan Freeman was especially hired to minimize the damages and he did a fine job as usual. Above all, I thought that the story was really entertaining, surprisingly believable and rather convincing. Of course, not everything did make sense, it remains a standard blockbuster after all, and the timing was some time way off but, still, I enjoyed most of the plot and I was genuinely surprised when the nuclear bomb went off which was something I really didnโ€™t expect. To conclude, I really believe that it is a decent spy flick and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
