Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse

 

Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse is a Prime Video original starring Michael B Jordan as John Clark, a Navy SEAL, and a man on a mission to avenge his wife's murder at any cost.

The plot was interesting but foreseeable from almost the beginning of the movie. Additionally, some of the plot points had gaps and didn’t really make any sense. More detail was definitely needed in the script to fill in some of the plot holes.

I liked the pairing of Jodie Turner-Smith and Michael B Jordan. They had good chemistry and worked well off of one another. Michael B Jordan is an action star and carried the lead role well. He did his own stunts, which was quite impressive, as this film was heavily infused with detailed fight choreography. His co-star, Jodie Turner-Smith, is turning into quite the actor herself. I thought that she did an excellent job in Queen & Slim and now this, which was a completely different role for her. Her character brought an essence and a range to the part that made you really pay attention to her. She was able to handle herself in the fight sequences and she didn’t need to be saved by anyone. The most impressive part of all to me was that Jodie did it all while, in real life, she was pregnant.

My biggest critique of this movie would be the lack of necessary character development for the entire cast. It was minimal at best so I left the film wanting more. I never felt  fully committed or locked in to the story because of the lack of connecting to the characters.

Even though this was a pretty run of the mill revenge movie, with some important parts lacking, I still thought it was entertaining and worth checking out.
