Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse (dir. Stefano Sollima).

Michael B. Jordan headlines Amazon’s latest solo action franchise starter as Navy SEAL John Clark—the Jack Ryan creator and famed espionage novelist’s other notable political operative character from the “Ryanverse”.

There’s such a dull, workmanlike feel to the disposable thriller without much creativity despite Jordan’s absolutely magnetic on-screen presence. Mostly, it’s just a generic revenge story with the usual manufactured clichés about military overreach and political theatre motivated by the usual tired conventions.
