MPR Movie Maven and Cube Critic Stephanie Curtis talks to Steve Seel and Jill Riley about the reboot of the films based on the Tom Clancy espionage character. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Chris Pine as the title character. The cast also features Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and intense action, and brief strong language. The film is playing at many theaters. Stephanie, however, was not impressed; listen to the review above for more.
