Ben Affleck‘s first, and only, stab at the Jack Ryan role pits him against a rising neo-Nazi faction with the means to nuke a hole in the world. Tonally, it’s a very assured adaptation of the Tom Clancy book — with strong supporting work from CIA mentor Morgan Freeman and President James Cromwell. While it lacks the showy pieces of "Shadow Recruit," it makes up for it by being a thousand times more watchable.
