Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War Parents Guide

I wrote this Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War Parents Guide. All opinions are my own.

The Jack Ryan Ghost War movie is exactly what I wanted from this series. It kept all the original actors/actresses, so it flowed seamlessly from the series to this movie. They kept the timeline moving, and no chemistry was lost. The emotions are real and raw. They bring it all to the table in this one, just like they always do. Just when you think you have it figured out, there is another twist thrown in.

Whether you are new to the Jack Ryan world or elbow deep like me, I think you will enjoy this movie. It is so good. There is a reason it has been on the top 10 list since it came out. You can watch it on Prime Video (free with your Amazon Prime subscription)

There is no end-credit scene for Ghost War.

Sex & Nudity – 0/5

Violence & Gore – 3/5

For a CIA/Spy thriller movie, it has all the action and violence you would expect. Hand-to-hand combat, gun fights, car chases/crashes, explosions, assassinations, executions, etc. It shows blood, neck cuts, dead people, up close gunshots, knife wounds, and more.

The last 10 minutes are very intense
Most of the movie isn’t “intense” but a good steady thriller.

I am a long-time fan of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. I have watched all the old movies and read several of the books. But I will honestly tell you it wasn’t until John Krasinski picked up the Jack Ryan series in 2018 that I really fell in love with it. John is fantastic in the role of Jack Ryan. Add in Wendell Pierce as James Greer and Michael Kelly as Mike November, and you have a fantastic trio that pulls you in and gives you all the feels. The supporting cast throughout all of the seasons, and into the Ghost War movie are all on point.

I will tell you that YES, there is a ton of language, and some nudity, and a lot of violence. So if those are the things keeping you from watching it, I highly recommend signing up for VidAngel. It does a fantastic job of filtering all the things you don’t want. We have ours set to filter language and nudity. And it works with most titles on Prime (including the Jack Reacher series, which I also love). If you aren’t sure if you will like it or not, you can sign up for a free month of VidAngel through this link.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War is a great addition to the Jack Ryan series. I truly hope they continue making more movies – or make another season.
