This time the almighty Jack is facing a threat from Russia. Under the double blow of terrorist attacks and economic blows, the US economy will once again return to the Ice Age. To prevent such an incident from happening, Jack and his boss, Do your best to gradually smash the enemy's entire conspiracy in the tense and exciting battles.
The whole story sets Russia as the opposite of the United States, which has long been seen in Tom Clancy's work, and this time the confrontation is not military but economic, with the big villain Victor aiming to subvert the American economy. The director of the film, Kenneth Branagh, took the responsibility himself. The liar teacher in "Harry Potter" suddenly turned into a terrorist, with a posture of vowing to perish with the United States at all costs. It really made me a little uncomfortable. As for the story design in this film, I don’t know if this film will be banned in Russia, but I guess if Russia is replaced by our Celestial Dynasty, then don’t expect to see it.
At this time, Jack Ryan was still at the top of the CIA, but he was able to discover the shocking conspiracy through a little clue, and the experience of joining the army enabled him not only to analyze the existence of the threat like Sherlock Holmes, but also to see through the entire conspiracy of the opponent. , but also when the threat comes, like 007's extraordinary skills, go straight to Huanglong, and ride the savior alone. The young Jack Ryan can do more, more intense and violent plots and pictures, can play with ease in action scenes, and can also be accompanied by a young and beautiful heroine to add some highlights to the film. Elizabeth in "Pirates of the Caribbean", this time as Jack's lover, a female doctor, although there are not many scenes in the film, it also adds a lot of "color" to the film, and the left half of the background of the film poster is "" Dancing with Wolves" Kevin Costner, the old gentleman, is naturally an important weight placed by investors in the cast list.
The director's control of the film is still in the past. In the middle and latter part of the film, as it gradually enters the climax, more and more exciting elements are arranged into the picture, but the way of handling it is a little under-heated, although it brings a sense of tension to the audience. Shortness of breath, but not the kind of nervousness that makes your palms sweaty, almost suffocating in front of the overwhelmingly oppressive picture. The explanation at the end stage was also a little hasty. It paved the way for the final confrontation for a long time, but it was settled in just a few minutes. It can only be said that the appearance of subtitles was ushered in a little lost.
Overall it's pretty good.
