Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse is, unsurprisingly, the latest film adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel, telling the origin story of a popular character, John Clark, from the Jack Ryan universe. While the popularity of Clancy’s novels is undeniable, Without Remorse is sadly one adaptation too far and offers us nothing but a dull, unoriginal take
