Have you read the novel WITHOUT REMORSE?

I never read a Tom Clancy novel from beginning to end...I read some pages...

[a fool in paradise]

“one last mission” is how they are going to start a franchise?

okaaaaay

A negro John Clark is a non-starter.

Other than for the millennial “woke” mob, at least.

I read Clancy's Red Storm Rising (New York: Putnam, 1983) but didn't like it--the story struck me as being too unrealistic.

I still have a Naval Academy Press edition of The Hunt for Red October. Was written like a screen play, but one of the most riveting books I ever read.

[lurk]

A fairly dark story. Dude messes up one of the bad guys by rapid air release from a decompression chamber. Sort of a middle class Rambo frenzy.

I watched it Sunday.

Sucked big time, culminating in the team flying right into a very obvious trap before another very obvious plot conclusion.

Very dumb. Not recommended.

[LegendHasIt]

I read the book when it first came out. Liked it.. I’m a big John Clark (and ‘Ding’ Chavez) fan in general. I knew a a few real life near analogues to them ‘back in the day’.

Read all the Clancy novels as soon as they came out, but none since his death; I never liked the authors riding on the corpses of great writers (Although Brandon Sanderson taking over for ‘Robert Jordan’ to finish the “Wheel of Time” series did OK).

I can’t imagine that a movie made today about John Clark, especially by leftist Amazon would be worth its weight in popped corn.

I have read that entire series several times over. Without remorse, at least 5 times.. and from what I’ve seen and read about this new movie, it completely destroyed the real Tom Clancy story (from every angle).

Without Remorse was boring and the acting was disengaging.

[CW_Conservative]

But following Clancy’s death in 2013, his brand began to fade. The Clancy estate found a variety of coauthors to carry on the publishing empire, but the film adaptations mostly ground to a halt.

Clancy's name is the lead title for some of the greatest video games ever made. Games still hugely popular today. Rainbow Six is the supposed movie sequel to Without Remorse and their still releasing games about it.

[Quentin Quarantino]

Amazon. Without Remorse.

They butchered a great book and turned it into a predictable and boring run of the mill, woke TV show.

They did this without remorse.

This movie is utter garbage.

[wbarmy]

Without Remorse is my favorite Clancy book and probably on my top ten books of all time. The books I would want to be stuck on an island with.

The character of John Clark is exactly like some of the Vietnam Vets I knew (at least their image of themselves), and his actions toward the drug dealers was the dream of quite a few military men who saw their neighborhoods turn into trash over the years.

Have you read the novel WITHOUT REMORSE?

Yes. I loved it at the time I read it ('94 or '95).

Tom Clancy was a fan of "Magnum PI" and in the early '90s, he and Tom Selleck were working together to make a series of Magnum feature films. Apparently the two Toms put a lot of work into this, but the studio(s) dragged their feet and the small window of opportunity closed.

I'm guessing Clancy reworked the Magnum screenplays into "Without Remorse".

It was a good fit. John Kelly/Clark is essentially Magnum, a combat veteran who can drift between the civilian world and the military world. And Clark was already an established character in Clancy's novels.

The plot borrows heavily from several Magnum episodes--one in particular called "Distant Relative" seems to be the blueprint Clancy used for the vigilante side of John's story.

I’m waiting for Jack Carr’s ‘Terminal List’ to comes out on Amazon. I hope they stick to the book and dont screw it up.

I have read it and this movie is only 2% similar. Name and lost loved one.

[Rebelbase]

The book was excellent. This recent film abomination was a pathetic excuse for entertainment. I was very painful to watch.
