David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote of the film as “pacey and punchy, buoyed by its magnetic lead” and also wrote: “The result is a solid entry in the Clancy screen canon — gritty, briskly paced, laced with vigorously choreographed fight scenes, explosive weapons action and twisty political intrigue that seems prescient as it taps into the most strained period in U.S.-Russian relations since the Cold War.”

Amazing Facts about Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse

Despite the main character being a Navy Seal just like in the novel, the film’s story has nothing to do with the novel.

This part explains the lead character John Clark’s association with the CIA, and how it began. Michael B. Jordan played the role of John Clark in Tom Clancy this film, a role that Liev Schreiber played in The Sum of All Fears (2002), and Willem Dafoe played in Clear and Present Danger (1994).

It is revealed in the film that the character Lieutenant Commander Karen Greer is the niece of James Greer in the Jack Ryan film series. James Greer in the Jack Ryan film series is a close friend and mentor of Jack Ryan.
