I hafta agree.
Obviously, Keneth Branaugh knows his way around movies. But, he sure dropped the ball in this one. Perhaps he just can't do action -- all the action sccenes in this were disjointed and badly edited. I kept rewinding to see what I had missed; I hadn't missed anything, the details simply weren't there.
Motivation was also lacking in many instances. Please, why did Esmee try to kill Jack? Why did Cherevin want to cripple the US (I know he has a speech about it, but he really doesn't explain it)? WHY did Cathy go to Moscow? And what did Jack do with the dog after Harper left him in the square??
This is absolutely the worst Jack Ryan movie made so far. Possibly also the worst Branaugh-directed film.
