More compelling CIA stuff… hard to know where to suspend disbelief about the Action Man antics of Jack Ryan, who’s ostensibly meant to have gotten himself a job as an office jockey. This provoked a little bit of shouting “Arrrgh, WHYYYYYY!?” at the TV when characters supposedly selected for CIA black ops incursion activity would make seemingly irrational decisions. A bit more of the intra-agency non-cooperation stuff surfaced in The Looming Tower, as well. Ultimately, nothing new here – but a decent fun bit of escapism.
Overview
When CIA analyst Jack Ryan stumbles upon a suspicious series of bank transfers his search for answers pulls him from the safety of his desk job and catapults him into a deadly game of cat and mouse throughout Europe and the Middle East, with a rising terrorist figurehead preparing for a massive attack against the US and her allies.
