It's not. It's Generic Spy Man. This is PURELY about branding and purely as an attempt to manipulate audiences. It's just Hollywood being craven, which is a shame, because the actual substance looks like it could stand on its own two feet. Call it "Shadow Recruit" and have it be about a new character we've never heard of named....I dunno....Michael Rourke.
But instead, because, you know, Tom Clancy brand name and Jack Ryan brand name, they just slap the name overtop an otherwise generic spy film about some young recruit, and call it "JACK RYAN! MAN OF ACTIONZ!!!"
I wish Hollywood would grow a ****ing pair.
