An elite Navy SEAL uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife in Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, the explosive origin story of action hero John Clark -- one of the most popular characters in author Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan universe. When a squad of Russian soldiers kills his family in retaliation for his role in a top-secret op, Sr. Chief John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) pursues the assassins at all costs. Joining forces with a fellow SEAL (Jodie Turner-Smith) and a shadowy CIA agent (Jamie Bell), Kelly's mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war. Torn between personal honor and loyalty to his country, Kelly must fight his enemies without remorse if he hopes to avert disaster and reveal the powerful figures behind the conspiracy.

Critics Consensus

Despite a commanding performance from Michael B. Jordan, Without Remorse fails to escape its outdated patriotic tropes and forced franchise place settings.

Audience Says

As formulaic as it is implausible, Tom Clancy's Without Remorse delivers the bare minimum as an action thriller -- and will leave Clancy fans particularly disappointed.

The good news is that "Without Remorse" is pretty great when it comes to the action, and there is a lot of it.

While it's no Hunt for Red October, this stripped-down, unapologetically retro thriller still gets the job done.

Without Remorse follows a compelling protagonist in a path of revenge through suspenseful, intense action sequences triggered by the usual cliches and storytelling formulas of the genre. Michael B. Jordan is the star of the show.

Jordan sells it all with intensity and ferocity to spare. He leaves us wanting more which is a good thing considering the mid-credits scene we get.

This is the worst adaptation of a book i have seen in a while. It wasn't even close to the original. Left out important characters to the plot, changed plot that doesn't develop the character properly. I have been dying to see this book get made into a film for years and can only hope someday someone will fix this atrocity of a film.

They used the title and some of the characters from the book and that's it.

The problem with movies based off Tom Clancy's work, is similar to movies based on Jane Austen. So many franchises have taken inspiration from these authors that by the time the original is adapted, it feels derivative of a dozen other films that have done the same thing. Jane Austen for romantic comedies, and Tom Clancy for political thrillers. So, watching "Without Remorse" the story can't help but feel familiar, but that is because there have been 30 other films and movies that follow this same plot. Despite the story being cliched, Michael B. Jordan still does an excellent job in the lead, the action is well helmed and there are still a couple things the film does to make it stand out. It just doesn't have many of those moments.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

I thought it was enjoyable when I needed something to watch during the lockdown. However, I will be doing a rewatch at some point.
