Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a movie about a CIA analyst named Jack Ryan. It starts with Jack attending the London school of economic when the 9/11 happens. He enlists in the marines and goes to Afghanistan but the chopper on which he is on gets shot down and he suffers severe injuries. During his rehab he grabs the attention of a man working for the CIA named Harper who would like him to finish his studies and get a job on the Wall Street in order to find out any terrorist plots through their finances. Few years pass and Jack finds anomalies in the accounts of a Russian man called Cherevin. Jack goes to Russia where Cherevin assigns him someone who needs to be taken care of. And this is where the things start to get heated up and the action starts leading to an unforgettable climax. The movie does seam a bit naive, and the plot isn't anything special, but I am sure that many fans of the genre are going to enjoy it. It is a typical spy action movie with a weak plot and plenty of action. The fact that there aren't many twists and turns is a minus, but those who can overlook it are going to have some fun. If you like the saga of Jack Ryan, give the Shadow Recruit a go, it might be a movie which you are going to enjoy.
