Another reboot in the Jack Ryan series created by Tom Clancy, this time with Chris Pine in the lead role.  He is secretly recruited into the CIA by a handler (Kevin Costner) where he works undercover on Wall Street trying to anticipate the next financial crisis.  Before you know it, he is heading to Moscow to stop a ruthless tyrant from crashing the U.S. economy.  Of course, his unknowing fiance shows up in the middle of the operation and things go slightly awry.

The movie is a watchable thriller that moves at a fast pace.  You do have to suspend disbelief at certain points, but if you just go along for the ride, it is enjoyable enough.
