Without Remorse
2 May 2021
Many years ago I read Without Remorse on holiday. I thought it was a cross between Death Wish and American Gangster.

This movie adaptation has been in the works since the mid 1990s. Willem Dafoe played John Clark in Clear and Present Danger in 1994. He is too old to play Clark now.

This version only has Tom Clancy and Without Remorse in common with the novel.

US Navy SEAL John Kelly (Michael B Jordan) is on the hunt of a Russian team that killed his wife and his former SEAL colleagues.

Kelly suspects that there is a conspiracy that goes right to the higher echelons of the American government.

This is a formulaic and rather cheap looking movie.

It has enough action adventure to make it average. Jordan is just ok as the lead although I felt he looked a little bored.

The whole movie takes place in third gear and the story is preposterous.
