Let’s just make one thing clear, this film checked off all the boxes. Action, romance, drama even had a sprinkle of comedy. Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse has set the tone for home action movie screening. If you watch without surround sounds, you are cheating yourself! From the first second to the last this was action & adrenaline packed and I appreciate that. The airplane crash had me clinching my seat, holding my breath, in panic and excitement. Its literally sinking but he has to retrieve the weapons to complete the mission, he almost didn't make it. #hedidhisownstunts
Michael B Jordan stars as Navy Seal John Kelly who has recently completed his last mission, and has “retired” to be with his wife Pam. Unfortunately that mission backfired and members of his team including Pam who’s pregnant has being murdered. The attempt appears to be orchestrated by Russian forces, which appears to be a green light for U.S. to declare war. Jordan's ability to be emotional and venerable in Without Remorse, shows how much he's grown as an actor and man. MBJ is definitely built to be an action hero.
*Disclaimer* I'm NOT a Tom Clancy reader or video gamer, but overall the film did not disappoint. Of course there was some clichés from predictable storylines and dialogue, but its an ACTION MOVIE. The only annoying thing for me was Jodie Turner-Smith's character Karen Greer also a Seal. I believe she was the leader of the group (Girl Power) and I wish she had more action sequences. I know she was pregnant while filming, but I expected more from this character. I appreciate and commend the other Seals they were exciting to watch even saw our own Corey Callet💪🏾. s/o Jacob Scipio, Todd Lasance, Jack Kesy, Luke Mitchell and Jamie Bell.
I would like to highlight Lauren London who plays Pam Kelly, did absolutely amazing. This is her first film since the tragic death of her partner late Rapper/Activist Nipsey Hussle, and this role to me reflect her real life feelings during that difficult time. Listening to her dialogue with Jordan in some scenes made me cry but also made the theme more genuine. I’ve seen quite a few of her films and it great to see her play outside of the typical “good-girl/pretty girl turned bad” role.
I give it 8.5/10 and my rating of 💚💚💚💚Have you seen it yet, what are your thoughts? Good? Bad,why? What’s your favorite scene? Streaming now on Amazon Prime. Don’t forget your snacks! Happy watching!
