Based on best selling author Tom Clancy's books, this stars Chris Pine as an ex Army vet turned CIA, as he tries to uncover a Russian plot to destabilise the US economy, yes it's as dull as it sounds. Pine is as dull and wooden as the plot, Kevin Costner is competent as his 'handler' William Harper, Keira Knightley adds some nice wallpaper to proceedings, but this is still a dreary thriller that starts off post 9-11 then goes all 1980's cold war.
This is a character rebooted three times now in five movies (more successfully with 'Patriot Games' and 'The Hunt For Red October') this you might expect to pop up on Channel 5 on a Sunday afternoon.
