“Without Remorse” was released in 2021 and directed by Stefano Sollimia. The movie is about John Kelly (Micheal B. Jordan), a Navy SEAL, who wants revenge after his pregnant wife and old crew members were killed by Russian hitmen.
This movie was first released on Amazon Prime due to theaters pushing its release back. In the beginning of “Without Remorse,” John Kelly and his squad are being deployed in Syria to rescue a CIA member that was taken hostage by a suspected military group. Three months later, three of Kelly’s members had been killed in retaliation for being a part of the rescue team. Kelly’s pregnant wife Pam is then killed when Russians break into their house. Kelly manages to kill all but one of the attackers, and they get away. He wakes up in the hospital freaking out after realizing his wife and future kid were dead. Kareen Greer, Kelly’s SEAL team leader and best friend, meets up with higher up CIA members to get information on anybody involved in the case. Kelly is determined to make sure that everyone involved will pay.
One downside about the movie is that the movie was based on the book, and many fans would agree it was changed too much from the original. They could’ve kept the same plot and storyline, then filled the holes in needed. This happened throughout the whole movie.
Another thing that could be critiqued is the unrealistic action. Even though the movie was well choreographed, other scenes had fights that felt cartoonish. They could’ve paid more attention to the later fight scene to thrill the audience.
The movie deserves a 9.2/10. The movie makes the viewer stay on their toes and is overall really entertaining.
