There's a fraction of a percent that's tied to the book.
Even if I hadn't read the book it would still be a bad movie. I tried to disconnect my brain and just enjoy the action sequences and the plot.
Having read the book I'd give it a 20 on rotten tomatoes. If I hadn't read the book I would make it a 35 to 40.
Why even name this movie after the book? It's just insulting. Obviously the entire point of this was to take a Tom Clancy property and make it about black people plus a chick leading a SEAL team, which is utterly offensive and downright laughable to anyone who has actually operated with the SEALs.
Without Remorse is about killing pimps and doing some shady **** in Vietnam. Period. **** this movie and **** Amazon.
Patricia or Tish was his wife. Pam was the prostitute. No Dr. Rosen, No Sandra O'toole, No Henry Tucker, No Italian Mafia. They replaced the aborted op in Vietnam with the attempted "aborted" op in Russia. He pisses on his clothes and carries a wine bottle up to the Russian embassy or something.
It's like they didn't read the book before writing the screenplay and took advantage of the fact Tom passed away in 2013.
Not angry or triggered about it, but the book was much more entertaining than the movie.
Let's just say they don't follow in the footsteps of the Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games or Clear & Present Danger.
