Review-Jack Ryan The Shadow Recruit

Actually I thought I've written this review, but after I checked my blog yesterday, I found out that I haven't write this.
I've watched this movie about two months ago. If I'm not mistaken it was a 2013 movie with Chris Pine as Jack Ryan and Keira Knightley as Cathy Ryan, his fiance.
If you already love Chris Pine, then this movie won't disappointed you :), just like how I love Jason Statham..hah! This movie was an adaptation from Tom Clancy's novel Jack Ryan, I never read the book so I could not give any opinion if this movie was as good as the book.
Jack Ryan is a smart, dedicated young man who graduated from college and then go to the military service to serve his country. He was placed in the middle of war and got hit, the military put him in a hospital to regain his health. This is where he met Cathy his doctor that helped him to get his strength back.
Even though he was hospitalized, he was never neglected by the government, a CIA director watch him recover and offers a job as a CIA agent. Jack accepted the offers and he was posted in a Financial Company to learn and notice how the money flow.

After a few years working in the Financial Company, Jack found something suspicious and he was assign to Russia to investigate. This was his first time gone abroad, and the first time also he was almost got killed by the Russian. His investigation lead him to a Russian Tycoon named Victor Cherevin. Trouble comes when Cathy somehow came to Russia, cause she thought that Jack is having an affair.

Like any happy ending movie, this movie also ends well. Unfortunately, I'm not really enjoying the detective side, the investigation was too shallow and too easy for me. Keira's acting was also not an enjoyment, cause she was placed just like an accessories in this movie. I hope in the future, if they wish to made another sequel of the movie, they have dig and explore it more to show the audience the complication of the investigation or research. The movie for me is just entertaining, I prefer Chris Pine in This Means War.

I give this movie 3/5 stars!
