In this new film, Jack Ryan is reluctantly thrust back into the world of espionage when an international covert mission unravels a deadly conspiracy, forcing him to confront a rogue black-ops unit, and the clock is ticking. Operating in real time with lives on the line and the threat escalating at every turn, Jack reunites with battle-tested CIA operative Mike November (Michael Kelly) and former CIA boss James Greer (Wendell Pierce), their combined experience the only edge they have against an enemy who knows their every move. Backed by an unlikely new partner -- razor-sharp MI6 officer Emma Marlowe (Sienna Miller) -- Jack and the team navigate a treacherous web of betrayal, facing a past they thought was long put to rest -- making this the most personal, high-stakes mission any of them have ever faced.

Critics Consensus

Plowing through a routine globe-trotting with mechanical efficiency but little else, Jack Ryan: Ghost War reduces John Krasinski's once-compelling CIA operative to a personality-free action cipher.

2/5

The movie does set up potential for a continuing movie franchise. Mostly, though, Jack Ryan: Ghost War feels like a sad state of affairs for the world’s dads (and dads at heart), who deserve to see airport-novel espionage brought to less chintzy life.

Krasinski executive produced and co-wrote the screenplay but doesn’t seem to have been very interested in character development or meaningful dialogue.

[Krasinski] makes you care whether Ryan can get out of pickle after pickle, enough to make you wish there will be another Ryan standalone film in the future.

Bernstein doesn’t know where to place, block, and move the camera, nor does he understand how to edit action. They frequently become nauseating.

2.5/5

Krasinski is a good action star but he's a little bland here due to writing, producing, starring, and basically attempting to be a Jack Ryan of all trades.

A routine return for Jack Ryan and friends, as a new conspiracy pulls him out of civilian life, but this globe-trotting actioner is more functional than fun

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War successfully carries the series into feature-film form without losing what made it work. John Krasinski remains, for me, the best Jack Ryan yet — even ahead of Harrison Ford — because he balances intelligence, vulnerability and action better than anyone before him. Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly return effortlessly, while Sienna Miller is an excellent addition as Emma Marlow, bringing personality, elegance and serious screen presence. The conspiracy becomes complicated and at times the film feels like a fifth season compressed into less than two hours, but the espionage, action and character dynamics remain polished and highly entertaining. It does not reinvent Jack Ryan. It simply understands him.

This movie is crap compared to the Drama series… CIA director gets killed and Greer goes after the bad guy alone wo telling the police or MI6 that’s the guy in the car… they could’ve called backup and stopped him w all the police force in London ….then when Greer finally had him he does not shoot him but keep asking him to turn around letting the bad guys buddies come and rescue him away…. If that’s how the best CiA agents react then we r really screwed

The opening scene — rife with cliches, illogic and needless endangerment of the local citizenry — set the stage for the rest of the film. I didn’t want Betty Gabriel’s character to die, but she was likely relieved to be free of the disintegrating franchise.
