Warning: spoilers for Without Remorse are about to be openly discussed. If youâre looking to avoid being spoiled, exfil to safety and come back once youâre ready.
The legacy of author Tom Clancyâs universe of counterterrorism tales is as legendary as it is voluminous. Michael B. Jordanâs new film,
Without Remorse, is the latest entry in the modern adaptations of Clancyverse that fans can find on Amazon Prime, and itâs got a pretty specific plan for where the future of the potential franchise could go. Which means itâs time to take a look at
Rainbow Six.
Better Tagline: We committed to two movies and here we are.
Not So Brief Plot Synopsis: Navy SEAL John Kelly s (Michael B. Jordan) last mission ran afoul of Russian spooks in Syria, and their superiors apparently held a grudge. After Russian operators travel to the States and kill two of Kelly s team along with his pregnant wife Pam (Lauren London), Kelly understandably vows revenge. Standing in his way is the CIA, in the person of Robert Ritter (Jamie Bell), who wants to keep tensions between the United States and Russia from escalating to a full-blown war. Critical Analysis: To paraphrase the immortal Regina George, maybe Hollywood should stop trying to make Tom Clancy happen.

Sicario, followed those up with screenplays for David Mackenzie s
Wind River (which was also his directorial debut), and most recently has created a massive fan base with the series
Yellowstone. Heâs been away from the world of features for a few years now, but that streak ends with the arrival of
Tom Clancyâs Without Remorse â which director Stefano Sollima says had important contributions from the writer that were key to the movieâs success.
Sollima and Taylor Sheridan previously had the opportunity to collaborate on 2018âs
Sicario: Day Of The Soldado, and so I felt compelled to ask about their reunion for the new action movie. I asked the director about the evolution of the project and Sheridanâs input earlier this month during the new releaseâs virtual press day, and he explained how much the project changed and why the screenwriter was an important part of the film:

Tom Clancy s Without Remorse Review: Slick Action Scenes Rescue an Absurd Plot
An elite Navy Seal (Michael B. Jordan) seeks vengeance after his family is targeted in Without Remorse.
The film adaptation of
Tom Clancy s Without Remorse bears little resemblance to the source material. Michael B. Jordan is a ferocious protagonist who shreds baddies as a vengeance-seeking Navy Seal. But the classic character s twenty-first century upgrade is nearly torpedoed by a preposterous plot. The tense and agonizing storyline from the novel is replaced by absurd geopolitical machinations. Slick action scenes, and the groundwork for a better sequel, save the film from being a huge disappointment.
