Tom Clancy's most popular character, Jack Ryan is at it again after a prolonged absence from the box office. "Shadow Recruit" tells the origin story of how Jack, played by Chris Pine, uncovers a financial terrorist plot and becomes the action hero we all know him as. When compared to other other action movies of the same ilk, "Shadow Recruit" doesn't really do a whole lot in terms of reinventing the wheel. While the acting is well done, the emotional connection to the characters is almost non-existent. The movie does a really good job, however, of staging some really cool action scenes that raise the intensity level when it needs to. While this isn't one of the best action films around (especially considering how competitive the action film market is), it is still a fun ride for what it's worth.
