If you can get through a rather slow beginning, the movie eventually gets to some decent action, tense moments and an actual plot - but it's nothing we haven't seen before. You would think Chris Pine (of Star Trek fame) would be a good choice - and teaming him with Keira Knightly and Kevin Costner is a treat - but he's just dull as dishwater - even in the big action scenes. Heck, when Kenneth Branagh with a Russian accent is the best part of your movie, well, let's just say it has a lot of issues. I'm guessing we're not going to get a sequel, so don't feel too bad if you don't get invested in this could-have-been series.

Jack Ryan is a young covert CIA agent who must race to stop a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack. This movie started off pretty hard to sit throw if I have to say but the movie does pick up in the middle and it gets more enjoyable.
