But not unlike Netflix’s recent second-rate action offerings, the film lacks the scale, gusto and ambition of a top-shelf blockbuster. Because the company has had success with its television series Jack Ryan (starring John Krasinski), which is also based on Clancy’s work, there could be considerable audience overlap between the two properties. The critical liability is the picture’s protagonistĪfter purchasing worldwide rights from Paramount last year, Amazon will begin streaming the thriller on April 30, and fans of Jordan will no doubt be intrigued. With more than a dash of Jason Bourne and Mission: Impossible, director Stefano Sollima’s undistinguished shoot-‘em-up feels so indebted to its influences that it never establishes a personality of its own. This Tom Clancy adaptation, which sets the groundwork for a sequel, is a revenge tale concerning a grieving Navy SEAL who hunts down the Russian operatives responsible for killing his wife and unborn child - only to uncover a darker conspiracy behind their murders. An underpowered franchise-starter, Without Remorse stars its producer Michael B Jordan in a subpar action vehicle that does little to capitalise on his charisma or emotional intensity.
