My quick rating - 5,5/10. I am a fan of Michael B. Jordan so if you attach him to something by Tom Clancy, I will most likely enjoy it. Admittedly, I have never read a single one of his books (yes, throw the tomatoes, I understand) but I am well aware of his stories being very adaptable to the screen and with good success. So yes, I was looking forward to this and yes, I really have to pick up a book of his one of these years. So in this one, MBJ plays an ex-navy seal who finds himself knee deep in a huge conspiracy when his sole goal was to avenge his wifes murder. You can basically at that point load up the guns and let Amazon Studios budget do the talking. The action sequences are very nicely done even if a bit on the unbelievable side. The conspiracy is nicely written in a sort of layered way it is revealed. Acting really wasn't the issue here although MBJ did put in the effort a bit more than the rest of the crew. Overall I was entertained but felt a bit disappointed at how many times I just rolled my eyes at scenes and storylines. They were just trying so hard to keep outdoing the last part that the layers as I mentioned stacked up way too high. Still, worth a watch especially if a fan of MBJ BUT judging by what people are saying on IMDB, this is NOT for you if you are a Clancy fan. That is why I made sure to point that out at the beginning. Apparently this movie takes a dump on the actual book which is unfortunate. But don't believe the listings of 1/10 on there, that is just not true.
