Just watching the trailer tells me it is not going to be the book I love. No matter the skin color of the actor portraying Clark.


Just watched the trailer. It simply has little to nothing to do with the book. Why couldn't they just call this something else and give us the plot from the book in a different movie?

Finished it a bit ago. Kept my interest but just seemed jumbled. The editing reminded me of a Michael Bay movie. Just no cohesion. They didn’t even establish that Clark was a badass. Just left you to think that. The opening sequence was supposed to but it didn’t do it for me.

I just don't understand how people can be watching this movie, which has so many awful elements, and have this stick out as a main offender.


Because the performance didn’t even matter at that point, it’s such a ridiculous element to throw in a Tom Clancy project.

It sticks out because there has never been a female SEAL in the entire history of the Navy SEALs. It's woke gender nonsense that doesn't belong in a movie about SEAL stuff.

One of the worst movies Ive ever seen. Clancy is probably rolling in his grave.

I just don’t get Hollywood and how it so often rejects respected source material. This book has been beloved for almost 30 years. Clancy fans have longed to see it on screen. But yeah, let’s throw everything out but the title and roll the dice.

They also made a black female on the first Delta team scene. They still don’t have women in Delta. And she WHINES…

And now we’ll never get to see a movie that actually follows the book. That ship has now sailed unless somewhere down the line someone decides to do a total reboot of the entire Clancy world.

Can’t imagine there’ll ever be a market/$$ for that.

Watched it last night. Just not a good movie at all. Felt incomplete, almost as if there was no real start and end to it. Disjointed. I've not read the book so I guess I have a leg up knowing I can now read it based off of comments here and actually get a lot out of it moreso than some.

Couldn’t care less that he is black, but this movie is pretty freaking blah. The fact that they called it “No Remorse” really kind of pisses me off. This is NOT even remotely Tom Clancy’s “No Remorse”.

I thought the action was pretty good. Liked it better than that Hemsworth Netflix movie everyone was saying was so great. Never read the books

I watched Sum Saturday morning to do the same. Not a great movie, but enjoyable.

The visual and score right after the title card, as the nuke is being wheeled out to the Israeli jet, is beautifully ominous.

Knowing Hollywood in about 4-5 years when they’re remaking movies again, this time with Trans characters, they’ll cover it again.

They should have just stripped Tom Clancy's name off and still called it Without Remorse. I'd be OK with watching a mediocre popcorn flick featuring Michael B Jordan

The fact they slapped the Clancy name on it has me LIVID

Why for the love of frick can we not get a Clancy movie based on Clancy's writing? There's 7 books that would make great movies/series

Can't say the movie does the book justice. One of his best novels and the woke changes ruined the movie.

I mean maybe its bc i watched it late last night and kinda sleepy, but i thought it was pretty decent. I expected to know the entire plot from the trailer, but they had a few things here and there that kept my interest there. Like i thought that Ritter dude was def up to know good for most of the movie. And from playing the game, that post credit scene really got me excited. Didn't read the books, just played the games, but i thought it was pretty enjoyable.
