Jordan does can save it from that fate, but he’s committed all the same like he’s working on his next Oscar hopeful role. For plenty, this would be a throwaway action vehicle, and in some respects, nothing Michael B. There’s a staggering amount of force he brings to every single movement, whether choking someone out with his legs and a rifle wrapped around the throat or charging down a set of stairs tackling someone into a wall. The good news is that the Creed star came to play, bringing everything from swagger to ruthless brutality to a dangerous military skillset involving stylistic gun-fu, hard-hitting CQC, and some impressive control of breath underwater. There is most definitely some sketchy government involvement going on and technically a story (it might be the worst thing the otherwise fantastic Taylor Sheridan has written, but still competent enough), but it’s all so standard and mechanical that you will just be sitting there nodding your head waiting for Michael B.

Jordan’s vengeance-driven disgraced Navy SEALs officer John Clark (a well-known character in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan book universe, known for establishing Rainbow Six which is also the endgame here to presumably cash in on the wide-reaching popularity of the video game franchise) obtains the name of a Russian assassin involved with the fridging of his pregnant partner Pam Kelly (Lauren London), only to magically know his location in the next scene getting into a heated confrontation (in more ways than one) where he gets yet another name related to the murders of his loved ones and teammates. Whatever inclination there is to follow along with the plot of Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse dissipates as soon as Michael B. John Clark, a Navy SEAL, goes on a path to avenge his wife’s murder only to find himself inside of a larger conspiracy.
