TOM CLANCY’S WITHOUT REMORSE (15)
★★★✩✩
The character of John Clark from the Jack Ryan universe comes to life in an action-packed origin story.
Lieutenant Commander Karen Greer (Jodie Turnersmith) leads a team of Navy Seals in Aleppo including Senior Chief John Clark (Michael B Jordan).
The mission is to extract a Syrian-held American asset.
This secret incursion ends
in a gun battle during which, Clark discovers the captors are ex-russian military.
Back on US soil, the Seals are victims of separate attacks.
Clark’s pregnant wife Pam (Lauren London) is among the casualties.
Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse follows a familiar mission brief, repeatedly questioning characters’ motives and moralities as the body count cranks up.
