About this movie

"An action hero is reborn!"* raves top critics about the "intense, exciting"* origin story of Tom Clancy's iconic hero Jack Ryan. The thrills are non-stop as CIA recruit Ryan (Chris Pine) is caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and espionage spun between a shadowy government agent (Academy Award-Winner Kevin Costner), his unsuspecting fiancée (Keira Knightly) and a fearless Russian power broker (Kenneth Branagh). Jack must quickly evolve from soldier to analyst to full-fledged operative to stop a devastating terrorist plot against the United States. The stakes have never been higher in this "taut, tense and terrific" thrill ride. *Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood ** Bill Bregoli, CBS Radio News

Ratings and reviews

I liked this movie. A good espionage feature with a good amount of action sequences. Tom Clancy's hero starts here!

Anyway CIA will win with less or no damage. That's the most boring part.

Nice movie , great story and pretty good direction. Not as all CIA movies. Must watch.
