the car and the man one the car wanted to destroythe wall street. Jack chased after him and finally

drive the car into the sea. There is the most memorable scene was

saved his girlfriend ,New york city would under

attack next morning. He went back New yorkcity immediately and saved whole city safe. At last, he went to new york city and

found out the terrorist attack and stopped it atonce. He had a fighter with the terrorist and

solved the safety problem in the wall street. I think the end of the story was quiet

predicable because we can gusse the ending mustbe the hero saved the city. Its not original, but its

still a happy ending. By the way ,it was a goodmovie for all age.

Hepromised that he will save Jack fromdanger and then drove Jack to his hotel.But when they got in there, the man tookout the gun and aimed it at Jack. Jackfought with him and killed him. This wasthe first time he killed a person. I was soexcited when I saw them fighting with eachother.

I found the ending of the story is fine.The bomb was going to explode. Jackfought with others and stopped it. He usedhis hard work to save the city. I think thisis the ending he wanted.

Shadow Recruit continuesby LeeAnn Chen

Shadow Recruit was an exciting thriller movie. It was fantastic with its compact story and terrific

performance by the actors.Jack Ryan (played by Chris Pine). He served for the U.S.A army. He was injured heavily in a helicopter

accidence on a mission. After he recovered, William Harper (played by Kelvin Costner), an officer of CIA,

persuaded him to work for CIA. He agreed. Then Harper arranged him to work in a bank to explore where theasset of the terrorist come from. He went to Moscow to copy some important data form Viktor Cherevin (played

by Kenneth Branagh). When Jack and Cathy (played by Keira Knightley) got the data with honey-trap, he alsoknew that Viktor and his son Alexander wanted to destroy Manhattan. He stopped them at last.

However, my favorite character is Cathy Ryan because of her respectful courage. When she knew Jack

worked for CIA, she didnt leave him though his job was pretty dangerous. She even sacrificed her beauty tohelp Jack to finish his task. She won my admiration.

My favorite scene in this movie is Viktor want to kill Cathy sorely by priming a lamp in Cathys mouth. Buthe failed as Jack saved Cathy at the last minute before the lamp bombing. This scene demonstrate how brave

Cathy was and how deeply that Jack loved Cathy. I was really touched.

Frankly, the ending of the movie has no difference than

all the other contemporary thrillers. Its a bit stale. But Istill think it is enjoyable for the most part. This isdefinitel a thriller-fun ick! If ou like thriller movies

Hero is who can give his heart to thethings he wants to protect

By Ekki Lu

If you like watching action movies like with

danger everywhere that is scary and frightening

then ' Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' should be your

first choice.

Jack Ryan (played by Chris Pine) was a

soldier and injured badly in a mission. He became

a bank clerk but in fact his real identity is an

analyst who works in the CIA for the United

States. He found that Viktor Cherevin who is a

Russian billionaire is planning a big plot to destroy

USA by an economy war. To protect his country,

Jack has to be a CIA agent and a man called

William Harper (played by Kelvin Costner) who is

good at fighting and very intelligent helped Jack.

And the most memorable scene was Jack

Ryan got into Cherevin's office while his wife was

talking to Cherevin and trying to get as much time

as possible for Jack to get information. He got

there and copied the secret data as quickly as

possible. Jack got the data at the last second before

the security guards came in

This movie is exciting and worth watching.

Because all the people in it fight for their country's

honor including Cherevin. Even though Cherevin's

way to protect his country is not perfect, all he did

was for the glory of Russia. We need to pay ourrespect to everyone that takes the gun and guards

the country. They spend their whole lives to

protect their country-the one thing they care most.

To be a perfect agent

By Tracy Zhu

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a 2014 American

action thriller film, directed by and co-starring Kenneth

Branagh.Jack Ryan (played by Chris Pine) was an analyst at the

CIA financial intelligence department, he found that the

boss in the company Victor (played by Kenneth Branagh)

is planning a conspiracy against the U.S. economy. CIA

veteran Hubble (played by Kevin Costner) and Ryan had

to travel to Moscow to perform a task. His wife Cathy

(played by Keira Knightley) accidentally discovered his

secret...

The most memorable scene to me is when Jack Ryan goes

into Victor's office where he downloads critical files. Hediscovers Victors secret. But he only uses three minutes

to steal the file and finishes the mission. Its very exciting

and tense.

The ending of the story is not very surprising. So it a

little bit boring. Decent Clancy-type spy, new jack Ryan's

role is better, exciting pace, builds the right atmosphere,

several twists and turns .Because the plot is very simple,

such as Jack find out the truth so fast, Cathy could be

more complex and so on. Kenneth Branagh gives this

story movie strong tension and relatively simple,characters are ordinary.

The secret mission by the hiddentalentBy Daniel Liu

The movie is about Jack Ryan, who was

just America CIA financialintelligence, an ordinary analysts.

One day he accidentally found thatthe company's boss Victor wasplanning to overturn American

economy . To know the secret , Ryanhad to become a field agent fromanalysts, embarked on a trip to

Moscow. And his girlfriend Katie inthe thriller the way slowly found hima secret agent. Then they decided to

find Victors selling record and turnthe order. But they found that Victorhad already let his son come to

America and send a bomb to New York,then dump all the dollars to crash

America economy. So Jack came to NewYork and fight with Victors son.Finally he threw out the bomb to thesea and saved America.

My most memorable scene is Jack'sfighting with Victors son in the

underground. Jack kicked him into thewater and got on the car. He wasdriving the car and trying to put the

bomb in the other place. But suddenlyhe saw Victors son was on the car

attempting to make the bombscountdown to zero. Jack then drovethe car like crazy, trying to knock

him down. Jack even came to thebackseat to beat him. When the car

was running into the river, Jacksuddenly jumped off and the bomb

crashed in the river.

I found the ending of the story is

exciting because Jack may die everysecond, but he was very brave

fighting with the final boss and onthe car with the bomb. Victors sonsuddenly came made me surprised and

the exciting thing is they werefighting on the car, but nobody wasdriving. As the cars door was

broken, Jacks lower part of the bodywas on the road and his upper partin the car. The movie's creativity is

amazin . I en o ed it ver much.
