Reviews of Tom Clancy's Without Remorse are mixed Here is a summary of comments from film critics

On our sister site CinemaBlend, Eric Eisenberg wrote: "It will not be remembered as the best action blockbuster of 2021

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The result is a solid entry in the Clancy film canon - gritty, fast-paced, briskly choreographed fight scenes, explosive weapons action, and winding political intrigue It doesn't reinvent the genre, but it also doesn't try to fix what isn't broken

Variety's Owen Gleiberman describes the film as "the origin of the vibrant, formulaic action hero steeped in combat grunge, demonstrating how a witty lead actor can bend and elevate the meaning of a commercial thriller" [29][30] In IGN, Zaki Hasan writes, "Tom Clancy's Without Remorse may follow a familiar pace, but its heart is elevated by the presence of star/producer Michael B Jordan The actor's physicality and intensity, previously displayed in "Creed," "Black Panther," and "Just Mercy," serve the former Special Forces soldier turned CIA operative well in this film 0]

Also in The New York Times, Ben Kennisberg wrote, "Most of Without Remorse is surprisingly dull, more concerned with laying the groundwork for a franchise than with becoming exciting in its own right Jordan plays a sturdy enough action hero, but the characters portrayed give him no outline to play"
