Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit ( German Jack Ryan: Schatten-Rekrut ) is an American - Russian thriller directed by Kenneth Branagh from 2014 . It is the fifth film of the fictional character Jack Ryan and represents a new start in the series. Unlike previous films, this Ryan film is not based on a book by Tom Clancy . The film premiered on January 15, 2014 in the Philippines before it premiered two days later in the United States.
action
After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 , the American student John Patrick “Jack” Ryan abandoned his dissertation at the London School of Economics and went to Afghanistan as an officer in the United States Marine Corps . In Afghanistan he writes several reports that accurately analyze the behavior of the Taliban, but are ignored by the superiors. He is seriously injured during an operation. Severely restricted in his mobility, he met the medical student Cathy Muller in the military hospital and they both fell in love. During rehabilitation he is recruited by CIA agent Thomas Harper, a commander in the US Navy . Harper had read Ryan's analysis and saw his potential. Ryan finished his studies and started working undercover for the CIA as an analyst on New York's Wall Street .
Ten years later, Ryan notices suspicious financial transactions and is sent to Russia by his bogus employer on Wall Street to investigate. At the center of the suspicious deals is the Russian oligarch Viktor Cherevin. After Ryan can hunt down a hit man who was set on him in his hotel room, he meets with Harper and tells him about his suspicions. Ryan rightly recognized that Cherevin plans to plunge the US into an economic crisis. In collaboration with a CIA team led by Harper, Ryan infiltrates the computer network of Cherevin's company, steals sensitive data and gains insight into Cherevin's plans. This wants to carry out a terror attack on the USA. Cherevin has hired his son, who lives under a false identity as a sleeper in the United States, to detonate a bomb in Manhattan . At the same time, Cherevin wants to sell millions of dollars in foreign currency to cause a financial crash. At the end of the development, the US economy is expected to collapse and Russia, a country rich in natural resources, is expected to return to its old size.
After returning to the United States, Ryan discovers the car with the bomb and follows it into the sewers under Wall Street. He overpowers Cherevin's son and is able to drive the car into the East River , where the bomb explodes without causing any damage. The Russian interior minister, who was informed of the action, then liquidated Cherevin. In the final scene, the US President personally thanks Ryan and Harper.
production
After the commercial success of the last Jack Ryan film, The Attack , from 2002, Paramount Pictures thought of a sequel, but it never came about. In 2008, Paramount handed director Sam Raimi the helm of a new production of the series, but Raimi later left because he was busy with the Spider-Man films.
Later, in October 2009, the production company Paramount Pictures and co-financier Skydance Productions grappled with a remake that was supposed to be based on Tom Clancy's fictional character, but not the plot. With Chris Pine was negotiated that he should play Jack Ryan.
At that time, producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mace Neufeld were working on a concept for the film. In August 2010 Jack Bender was scheduled to direct the film based on a script by Adam Cozad with the working title Moscow . The following month, screenwriter Anthony Peckham was hired to revise Moscow , after which it was revised first by Steve Zaillan and then by David Koepp several times. The film should be shot in the second half of 2012.
Due to scheduling conflicts, Bender left, Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions quickly replaced him with Kenneth Branagh so that film production could begin as soon as Pine finished his work on Star Trek Into Darkness .
publication
The premiere in the US was originally planned for December 25, 2013, but was later postponed for a few weeks due to Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street . Its world premiere was on January 15, 2014 in the Philippines , before arriving in Russia one day later . The premiere in the USA took place on January 17, 2014. In Germany, it opened on February 27, 2014.
In the United States, the film grossed $ 5.4 million on the day of its premiere and $ 17.2 million by the end of the first weekend .
Soundtrack
The soundtrack for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was composed by Patrick Doyle , who has been responsible for the soundtrack for many Kenneth Branagh films. It took Doyle six to seven months to compose the score, which is more than usual for him.
An album to the soundtrack was released on January 14, 2014 by Varèse Sarabande .
reception
The film received mixed reviews. He has a rating of 56 percent at Rotten Tomatoes , based on 170 reviews. The Filmdienst verdict: "A wise-designed spy thriller in which it goes against the new as well against the old enemy of the United States. The rock-solid tension dramaturgy arouses doubts about individual characters a little too often and too often lays the wrong track, which wipes aside the impression of the new in the long run. "The Kulturspiegel wrote:" [Tom Clancy] once thought up the adult version of the title character, but not this one transparent high-tech conspiracy construct. "
