Without Remorse (2021)

Without Remorse, also known as Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, is a 2021 American action thriller film directed by Stefano Sollima and written by Taylor Sheridan and Will Staples. It is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Tom Clancy. The film stars Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Luke Mitchell, Jack Kesy, Brett Gelman, Lauren London, Colman Domingo and Guy Pearce. In the film, John Kelly, a U.S. Navy SEAL, seeks revenge after his wife and unit members are killed by Russian hitmen.

The film had been in development since the novel was published in 1993, with various actors, including Keanu Reeves and Tom Hardy, approached for the role of John Kelly. After over 20 years in development hell, Jordan was announced as the lead role in September 2018, and Sheridan was hired to rewrite a script originally written in the 1990s. Filming began in Berlin in October 2019 and completed production in October 2020.

Without Remorse was originally produced and set for a theatrical release by Paramount Pictures, but was delayed and then acquired by Amazon Studios, who digitally released it on Prime Video on April 30, 2021. The film received mixed reviews from critics with praise for Jordan's performance, action sequences and technical aspects, but called the film generic.
