I'm beginning to believe Jack Ryan might have the ability to regenerate like the Doctor. Because, every time I see him he's played by a younger actor. That being said, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit may not be the best action thriller. But, it is promising start to a new year of movies and a new series of Jack Ryan films. But, for every high this film this film experiences. There are lows that hurt this film as much as one of Jack Ryan's punches.
