John Krasinski got ripped to play Jack Ryan, and the end result has always felt like a good fit for the Prime Video series. The actor has given Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst a steady, thinking-man's action movie hero energy that makes sense for the character and has helped the series build a loyal audience. That makes the reaction to the 2026 movie release, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War, sting a little more. This is not one of those critic-versus-audience situations, as everyone seems to be in agreement: We love Krasinski as Ryan, but hated this new Amazon movie.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the new action movie is sitting at 44% with critics and 41% with audiences, based on 39 reviews and more than 250 ratings. That is basically both sides of the aisle looking at Jack’s comeback and saying, “Yeah, this ain't it, chief.”
