Absolute rubbish. Jack Ryan is one of the most tedious central characters you are ever likely to see. He is a protagonist who does little but be there. On the rare occasion he drives the story, there is almost a hallelujah moment. Humourless and not particularly bright, he never takes charge of the story. Why not just bit the bullet and make it about Greer (Wendell Pierce). He is a much stronger character though often looks like he can’t wait for this gig to be over too.
