This won’t be the best spy action movie, and it’s not even the best Tom Clancy adaptation, but it’s the most beautiful and beautiful movie I’ve seen Keira Knightley.
I used to see the impression of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "New York Meets You". She seemed to me that she was a shrewd and bitter female superwoman, with a hint of melancholy on her face.
Instead, this time Jack Ryan’s wife is cheerful and straightforward. She always smiles confidently in the first half of the movie. As soon as she gets home, she opens the door generously and calls her lover’s name. Later, she suspected that her husband was cheating, she was also straightforward. When he arrived in Moscow, he was a little embarrassed and had to confront her husband calmly. That kind of frank and affectionate image, on the contrary, makes people feel her powerful feminine charm. Even in front of the screen, I can't help but start to appreciate this role.
Excluding the beauty of Keira Knightley and the handsomeness of Chris Pine, the only reason this film makes me want to review is that the smooth spies in the middle stage play the role of the scene.
Jack Ryan, who was originally a civilian, was assassinated as soon as he arrived at the Russian restaurant. He escaped death at the very moment, subdued the assassin, and then tremblingly asked the chief for help, completely treating that kind of rookie when he was facing a crisis. Being nervous and afraid to convey it to the audience is so wonderful that it can be said to be the highlight of the whole film.
later battled wits with the villain played by Kenneth Branagh, and spoke highly of each other; (Kenneth Branagh, who is also the director, and his skill in directing Shakespeare can be seen here)
and then Pyne "infiltrated the enemy camp to steal information, the countdown is very tense", then Kenneth Branagh furiously abducts the heroine, this series of literary dramas brews the restlessness, the extraordinary theft (Heist) plot , And the immediate speed gun battle to save the beauty, the whole paragraph was done in one go, it is indeed the excitement that a spy action movie should have. (A netizen described it very aptly, "A short and light version of "Mission Impossible"")
It is a pity that the last climax of preventing terrorist attacks, but the tension is not as good as the middle, and it did not push the audience's emotions up, which greatly reduced the overall entertainment performance, resulting in the whole film becoming a mediocre work.
And by the way, Jack Ryan can be said to be the most classic character in Tom Clancy’s novels. He resolves crises in stories like "Hunting Red October", "Patriot Games" and "Total Fear" , The big man who saved the world!
However, as a prequel "on the fly", apart from explaining his financial professional background, motives for joining the army, and being absorbed by the CIA and performing his first mission, it seems nothing special, just like the protagonist of other spy films. Vigorous and slightly intelligent, we can't feel the charm of this character, or the richer aspect than the original novel. Then, the existence of this film seems to be somewhat unclear.
Then I might as well go back to watch "Mission Impossible", right...
