Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit tries so hard to be the American James Bond.
As such, it's everything you'd expect; i.e. overly patriotic and heavy on ridiculous accents (Kenneth Branagh's Russian accent is laughable and Keira Knightley really shouldn't be portraying an American when there's no reason she can't be British) tying itself in knots at the start the plot picks up towards the end when it becomes a 'stop-the-terrorist-blowing-up-stuff' thriller.
It's a little short on ideas and you leave wondering how they got the film to be an hour and a half.
Leave your brain at home and it's a decent action-er.
