I am worried it is all mindless action, inconsistent with Jack Ryan’s character. Jack Ryan was a brilliant analyst and won with his mind, not with roundhouse kicks, uppercuts, and spray and pray. The commercial made it look like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Just a lot of shooting, explosions, and car chases. If it is a TV version of Jack Ryan, I don’t want it. If it is an intelligent, cerebral TV show where Ryan has to match wits with his opponents to prevail, then I would give it a test drive.
I think you will like this version. It has some shoot-em-up stuff but it’s also quite cerebral.
From what I’ve read, this is supposed to be a more cerebral version....just like the books.
The trailer doesn’t reflect the actual show. Yes there is action, which is very well done, but Ryan is not a super physical hero. Just a former Marine.
