Tom Clancy's Without Remorse

Director: Stefano Sollima
Year Released: 2021
Rating: 2.0

Navy SEAL John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) and the rest of his team go to Aleppo, Syria to try to extract a CIA officer being held hostage; back home in the United States, the same members of that group keep getting executed - including Kelly's wife Pam (Lauren London) and unborn child - which, as one might expect, makes him very upset (his vengeance is not served cold, but boiling).  There isn't much to set this apart from all the other international spy thrillers - the "villains" are (supposedly) Russians, the dialogue is what you'd expect from genre fiction ("I'll show them what a pawn can do to a king," "A big country needs big enemies," and so on), there's lots of double-crossing (it sets up Jamie Bell as the Ultimate Bad Guy ... but nope) - although some of the action sequences have some snap to them, and a shootout in a hotel is a really energetic moment.  It's still good that a certain government Agency (cough) gets some scrutiny: the watchmen, who watches them, etc.
