'Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War' Review: A Solid, Safe, Espionage Endeavor

John Krasinski returns as Jack Ryan in a standalone espionage film that expands the Prime Video series and may launch a new franchise.

  • On Wednesday, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War premiered on Prime Video, starring John Krasinski as Jack Ryan and Wendell Pierce as former CIA boss James Greer.
  • Former CIA boss James Greer pulls Jack Ryan from civilian life to investigate "Starling," a questionable post-9/11 black-ops endeavor, recruiting MI6 officer Emma Marlow to help track the organization's resurgence.
  • Liam Crown, a British war hero and former teammate of Greer, reactivates terrorist groups to execute a "ghost war," forcing the team through action sequences filmed on location in Dubai and London.
  • While Ghost War delivers "reasonably impressive" action sequences, critics note the streaming-exclusive film lacks the immersive character development that defined the original four-season series.
  • Although Amazon has not formally greenlit a sequel, star and producer John Krasinski has expressed interest in continuing the character in movie form, viewing Ghost War as a foundation for future cinematic stories.
