Michael B. Jordan is the latest to inhabit Tom Clancy’s world of international espionage. He plays a SEAL agent who gets embroiled in a conspiracy pitting the US against Russia. This is typical Clancy stuff with regular action beats, some well-staged fights, lots of explosions and one spectacular plane sequence. As such, Jordan’s character is a chronic renegade who single-handedly saves almost every encounter. The interaction among the cast adds a few moments of conflict drama, but it’s really about this one man and his almost superhuman skills. Action on a grand scale is what we’ve come to expect from these formulas and this one makes a solid addition. NOTE: Sit thru the early credits for one final scene that sets up sequels. 
(4 / 5)
