PLOT : 
    
             Jack Ryan, was studying in London School of Economics when there was an attack on 9/11 and that's when he realized that he should join the Marines and serve his country. So, after 18 months of the attack, he is on his mission in Afghanistan. His helicopter was hit by a rocket. He got himself injured with some spine injuries, but before that he was able to save his two fellows that were on the helicopter with him.
     
           Due to his heroic act, he was approached by Thomas Harper, who worked for the CIA and asked him to work for them, discretely and without telling anyone. But before that, he was asked to complete his PhD and get a job in Wall Street, so that he can find any terrorist plot by going through their finances.

         So, after some time of his searching, he came across an account, Russian named Cherevin, who's account details were hidden from the back and despite all the efforts, Ryan wasn't able to decipher them. So he thought its best if he personally go there to Moscow, Russia and investigate it.

      As he landed there, story unfolds as he was attacked in his hotel apartment, and was tried to be killed by the person he met on the airport, as the personal security of the Cherevin. And from there, starts the twists and turns, which surely will force you to sit and watch till the end.

   Before that, grab a bucket of pop corns with you, so that you won't need to go during the movie.

Review:                                                                                                                                   

                Lets first start with how was the story of the movie. At first, wasn't very sure how the movie will go because I was not quite grabbing the story of the movie, and was feeling bored in the start of the movie because all that injury thing and banking, lets just say I am not very much into maths and banking thing. But movie certainly starting to show its importance when he attacked by the security head of Cherevin, Embee Deng, and after that movie started to look more like a action, thriller movie.         

               Jack Ryan on the other hand, acted well, throughout the movie, he acted very well. Accompanied by Cathy Muller, both looked like a very cute couple together and both acted fabulously, like they were made for acting together. Mentor of Jack, Thomas Harper acted well too, along with his team-mates, Constantin and Amy Chang acted well too.  The villian, Cherevin, was impressed by his acting. Really, he was very fit for this type of role, and he kept his acting to that level, as he was expected to show.
