Still, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a decent enough thriller, and Costner slips into the ‘mentor who isn’t a mentor’ role with ease. The $135m worldwide gross (against a production budget of $60m) was certainly solid, but no franchise starter though. Had Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit become a box office juggernaut, then the plan would have been to spin Costner’s character out into his own movie. And that left space for Costner to take on a character actor piece, as the shadowy CIA man who recruits Jack Ryan in the first place. Kenneth Branagh took the helm for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, with Chris Pine in the title role. We’ll start then with one of Costner’s recent endeavours, the attempt to reboot – not for the first time – the Jack Ryan movie franchise. But these 28? Not all great films – although some of them are – but they’ve each got something interesting about them… 28.
