I normally love action packed American films but I must say that this was really good. It had action but not over board and it also had a very nice twist at the end that some say they saw coming but as a watcher of American movies I didn't see this particular twist. It was actually pretty refreshing. Now this movie had one thing that I really didn't notice until the very end scene, when I realised it I just started laughing my head off. Now this is not a spoiler or nothing it's got to do with the main actor's height. I just never realised how short he actually was through the entire movie until the final scene. Where he walks past a dozen or so police officers and most of then are women who tower him by more than foot or so .To me that was weird because as a Kid I always wanted to be a cop but there was a height and weight requirement that I just couldn't meet at the time. Those requirement have since been abolished. Any how very good movie worth the watch not just during a pandemic either.
The greatest confusion about Jack Ryan season 2 is not the so called revisionist writing of the script, no the confusion is that so many people are giving bad ratings because they seem to think somehow that a television series show reflet actual historic events even though the entire story is fiction. One guy suggested that the whole plot line was to show how much we dislike Trump. Where one gets that from is ..... I have no clue. When I sat down to watch Jack Ryan season 2 I wasn't expecting it to provide me with accurate history lessons I was sitting down to be entertained, and I was. Very much so. Every episode ends with the feeling that we are getting somewhere towards the goal. The acting is very good and the action is terrific. I guess the hardest part about making a series like this is that there is always someone who expects the series to follow history and events to be pictured correctly. But it is a series not the news. If you want the truth about what's happening in that country then watch the news from that country. Don't watch a television series. Its like watching Roadrunner to learn how to catch a bird. Was season 2 worth it, Yes I was entertained and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was different that season one but still very good. Jack Ryan evolved from season one to season 2 in his abilities and eagerness of getting involved physically into dangerous situations something that I would have expected him to do after season one.
