Without any remorse, the new adaptation of Tom Clancy's works, is available on Amazon Prime Video. Worn by Michael B Jordan, Guy Pearce and Jamie Bell, the film tells the misadventures of John Kelly, who seeks revenge for the murder of his wife and unborn child. Focus on a new adaptation that lacks panache.
Who is Tom Clancy?
Born in 1947 and died in 2013, Tom Clancy is a great author of spy novels. Some of his works have become emblematic. And this, thanks in particular to their adaptations, whether in the form of film, series, or video games. Among his great successes are In Pursuit of Red October, The Sum of All Fears, Rainbow Six, and therefore Without Any Remorse. The latter tells the adventures of John Kelly, who later becomes John Clark, one of the most popular characters in Tom Clancy's universe. 
Directed by Stefano Sollima, Without Any Remorse is positioned as a relatively effective action film, preferring to play more on tension than explosiveness. A spy film par excellence, Without Any Remorse is part of the legacy of franchises like Jason Bourne or Jack Ryan. The filmmaker reserves some impressive and well-conducted action sequences, such as the passage in the prison or the plane crash. Unfortunately, apart from these few visual flashes, Without Any Remorse is terribly lacking in rhythm.
Without any remorse: a scenario stitched with white thread
It is not so much the staging that lacks thickness, but a lazy and above all terribly warmed writing. We can suspect it from the opening scene, which lacks rhythm, and is finally awfully soft. A sequence like the rest of the film: a cruel lack of thickness, dynamism and surprise. Stefano Sollima certainly offers a pleasant photography, but never manages to stimulate its staging, too classic to convince. For example, the dialogues are filmed in an abominably academic way, with simple soporific fields/counter-fields. Too much blah, a tension that sometimes lacks accuracy, and above all an extremely predictable scenario dictate Without any remorse. 
Difficult to make more classic history. It's hard to be so expected. Each element of the plot is guessable, each twist falls into the water as the elements of surprises are wet firecrackers. And then, make an effort, informed viewers know that Guy Pearce always plays the characters of traitor. At some point, if Stefano Sollima wanted a surprise effect about the revelation of the big villain, it is better to take another actor from Guy Pearce. Thus, overall, Without any remorse arouses boredom and yawn and Stefano Sollima signs an endless and deeply soft film… https://youtu.be/-zGJrjTG5EQ
