Without Remorse - Official Trailer | Prime Video
Prime Video
A Tom Clancy story. We've got Navy Seals fighting the Russians in a conflict set up by some reptile-brains in the US administration. Pretty brutal. There were a few minor glitches along the way, like the airliner was supposedly flying at altitude, but it manages to fall to the ground in less than a minute, and who drives the getaway vehicle through the center of an intersection crawling with cops? Admittedly, the cops were a bit distracted, but why do it, unless you were looking for a dramatic effect. So, not a great movie, but lots of violent fights involving whatever kinds of weapons our guys can lay their hands on.
P.S. Now it occurs to me that people don't always go to war because they see an advantage for their country in attacking another. It might be to gain territory or settle some grievance. Oftentimes it is simply to gain some political advantage in their own country, kind of like when Argentina attacked the Falklands, or when the reptilians in the current US administration took Russia's attack on Ukraine as an opportunity to dump a zillion dollars into our military industrial complex. The reptilians don't give a fig about Ukraine. They say they are 'helping' Ukraine in order to drain Russia. I'm not so sure. I suspect they only care about lining their own pockets. Making the war more expensive for Russia means Russia is going to be pouring more money into their own defense industry. What if the owners of our defense industry and the owners of the Russian defense industry are the same guys? Then the war in Ukraine is being fought just to enrich the owners of the global defense industry. If a few thousand peasants die, well, that should make the rest of them more tractable. There's a lizard-brain conspiracy theory for you.
Au contraire.
ReplyDeleteBased on a Tom Clancy story, which isn't the same thing at all.
It's Hollywood-speak for "fornicated the original story up past 11, and all the way to FUBAR."
Anyone who read the original book probably shot their TV screen to pieces by 10 minutes into this craptastic bastardization of Clancy's story.
The flick wasn't shot before a live audience, but the writers, producers, and director of this steaming pile of feces definitely should be.
Garbage reworking of his stuff was why, after the third horrible re-write out of four movies, Clancy vowed they'd never get another one of his books to ruin, unless it was over his dead body.
Well, he died in 2013.
So, here's what you get.
If one never read the source novel, from which they lifted the main character's name, and the title, before they burned everything else in a fire, take Clancy's name off this, as should be done, and try to sell it otherwise, and it's nothing but a D- piece of straight to low-budget cable and Albanian distribution dungball movie. It's Cheeze Whiz on a cracker pretending to be caviar.
Without Remorse mainly refers to the way the authors of this cinematic pantload took a crap on Clancy's work and legacy.
At that, it succeeds beyond their wildest expectations.
If somebody gives this to you for free, give it back. You'll be happier, and it's 20 bucks, and 109 minutes of your life you won't have wasted.
I read the book and it should not have been made. The main person did not match and the plot did not match. If they followed the book at would have been a far better movie.
