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

Soooo Boring and lacking any discernible plot. Poor acting for such ‘reputed’ heavyweights and I had no idea what was really going on - such a waste of a Jack Ryan movie. Gave up after 30 mins and watched ‘In The Grey’ instead…

Jack Ryan: Ghost War is an entertaining, action-packed thriller that leans heavily on the excellent chemistry of its stellar returning cast, particularly John Krasinski and Michael Kelly. While the globe-trotting plot is undeniably fun, the condensed movie format makes it feel like it could have just as easily been another great season of the already stellar Prime Video show. Overall, it delivers a deeply satisfying 4-star experience that effortlessly scratches that espionage itch for fans of the franchise.

Cattle manure is more entertaining to watch than this.

It’s not bad , a continuation of the show. I think a 6th season would have been better than a movie. It had its problems. But over all not a bad watch for a rainy day

Everyone has got to love that John Krasinski is the new Jack Ryan for a while now, and better yet, he is directly involved in some of the screenwriting of Jack Ryan's new stories. Is it 80s cheesiness, hell yeah. Is it good? Absolutely! Good in some fashion, of course. I mean, you can't say Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War has amazing plot, in fact, there are quite a few holes, like when Jack escapes police force magically in Act 1; or how someone is able to have car bombs being operated by CIA personnel; hell, even the villain's motives are too far-fatched and stretched, but that is what makes these movies likeable: they are meant to be high-action, thrilling, heroic, fiction. If you like smarty, over-the-top action, you are in for a treat.
