Tom Cruise has some competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Jack Ryan is back, and the latest installment, \u201cGhost War,\u201d is as big as anything Cruise encountered in \u201cMission: Impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The new film goes to Dubai and puts John Krasinski\u2019s Ryan through his paces as he uncovers a black-ops conspiracy that starts the clock ticking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
With fellow operatives Mike\u00a0November (Michael Kelly) and James Greer (Wendell Pierce), he\u2019s put into play with a British MI6 officer Emma Marlowe (Sienna Miller), who\u2019s just as good at running, hanging and chasing the baddies all around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Thanks to director Andrew Bernstein, \u201cTom Clancy\u2019s Jack Ryan: Ghost War,\u201d is as big as its title. It has plenty of drone shots and explosions, lots of hidden meaning and a performance by Douglas Hodge that sets plenty in motion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Pierce, too, gets more action than we remember and emerges as the kind of CIA director Ryan and company deserve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cGhost War\u201d gets important moments in Great Britain, the United Arab Emirates and Washington, D.C., and Krasinski, who co-wrote the screenplay, gets some snappy dialogue that elevates this from television series to film staple.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
While \u201cGhost War\u201d doesn\u2019t tell everything about the CIA, it does suggest there\u2019s plenty of \u201cgray area stuff\u201d that requires vetting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Krasinski does a fine job confronting his own fears in the process of second-guessing others. He\u2019s confident running and jumping, and he has a moment with Miller that\u2019s truly harrowing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
While others have been here before, Krasinski runs in Ryan\u2019s shoes. He has a team, too, that could bring Clancy\u2019s character back to his old form. We can only hope this is the new beginning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
