If you are a fan of action movies and Tom Clancy’s novels, you might want to check out Without Remorse 2021, a film adaptation of Clancy’s 1993 book of the same name. The movie stars Michael B. Jordan as John Kelly, a Navy SEAL who seeks revenge after his wife and teammates are killed by Russian assassins. Along the way, he uncovers a conspiracy that could lead to a war between the U.S. and Russia.

The movie is directed by Stefano Sollima, who also helmed Sicario: Day of the Soldado and ZeroZeroZero. The screenplay is written by Taylor Sheridan and Will Staples, who have worked on projects like Yellowstone, Hell or High Water, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The cast also includes Jamie Bell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Luke Mitchell, Jack Kesy, Brett Gelman, Lauren London, Colman Domingo, and Guy Pearce.

Without Remorse 2021 is the origin story of John Clark, one of the most popular characters in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan universe. Clark has appeared in several books and movies, such as The Sum of All Fears, Clear and Present Danger, and Rainbow Six. He is a former Navy SEAL who becomes a CIA operative and later leads an elite counter-terrorism unit.

The movie was originally produced by Paramount Pictures and set for a theatrical release, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was then acquired by Amazon Studios, who released it on Prime Video on April 30, 2021. The movie received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Jordan’s performance but criticized the plot as generic and predictable.

If you are looking for a fast-paced and action-packed movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you might want to give Without Remorse 2021 a try. You can watch it on Prime Video with a subscription or rent it for $5.99.

Without Remorse 2021 is not a faithful adaptation of Tom Clancy’s novel, but rather a modernized and simplified version that focuses more on the action than the political intrigue. The movie changes many details from the book, such as the setting, the characters, the villains, and the plot. For example, in the book, John Kelly’s wife is not pregnant and is killed by drug dealers, not Russian agents. Kelly also goes on a solo mission to rescue a POW in Vietnam, which is not shown in the movie.

However, some fans of Tom Clancy’s novels might still enjoy Without Remorse 2021 as a standalone action movie that introduces John Clark’s character and sets up a potential sequel based on Rainbow Six, another popular book by Clancy. Rainbow Six is about a multinational counter-terrorism unit that Clark leads and that faces a threat from a radical environmentalist group. The movie hints at this plot in a post-credits scene, where Clark meets with CIA agent Robert Ritter (Jamie Bell) and proposes to form a new team.

Without Remorse 2021 is also notable for being one of the first major Hollywood movies to feature a Black actor as the lead of a Tom Clancy adaptation. Michael B. Jordan, who is best known for his roles in Creed, Black Panther, and Just Mercy, delivers a strong and charismatic performance as John Clark. He also serves as one of the producers of the movie and has expressed his interest in reprising his role in future projects. Jordan has said that he hopes to create a new franchise that will appeal to both old and new fans of Tom Clancy’s novels.
