Paramount’s first attempt to reboot the adventures of CIA analyst Jack Ryan is leagues better than their second try (sorry not sorry, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.") Ben Affleck stars as Ryan, in this deliberately-paced, but smartly-written thriller involving a nuke on U.S. soil and its ties to a baddie threatening to the second coming of the Third Reich. It’s not the best Jack Ryan movie, but it’s much better than you think.
