ColliderTania HussainMay 18, 2026
Ghost War wants to feel like a bigger, sharper return for the franchise, but it too often settles for the safest version of itself. Read full review

EmpireJohn NugentMay 20, 2026
Both unnecessarily complicated and woefully simple, this is one of the least successful Jack Ryan adaptations yet: neither Clear, nor Present.  Read full review

Next Best PictureGiovanni LagoMay 18, 2026
It all makes one wonder why any of the original team returned for a sequel that not only undoes some of the far more impactful emotional beats of the final season but also leaves audiences in limbo about whether they even want to see Jack Ryan suit up for another disaster to solve. Read full review

Radio TimesJames MottramMay 18, 2026
Sadly, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War – what a mouthful of a title that is – emerges as a bland action vehicle shorn of wit or vitality. Read full review

Screen RantBrandon ZacharyMay 18, 2026
It's a technically fine film that doesn't do anything especially inventive, but remains capable of telling a concise story with clear action. Fans of the Jack Ryan show should definitely check it out, and appreciators of military action and espionage will probably find plenty to love, too. For everyone else, Jack Ryan: Ghost War could have been something bigger and better. Read full review

The GuardianJesse HassengerMay 20, 2026
The movie does set up potential for a continuing movie franchise. Mostly, though, Jack Ryan: Ghost War feels like a sad state of affairs for the world’s dads (and dads at heart), who deserve to see airport-novel espionage brought to less chintzy life. Read full review

The director, Andrew Bernstein, keeps the globe-trotting plot, which Krasinski formulated with the screenwriter Noah Oppenheim (“A House of Dynamite”), galloping along until a final reckoning back where all the nastiness started. Read full review

TheWrapZaki HasanMay 18, 2026
The film aims to scale things up with bigger stakes, a broader canvas and more immediate danger. But in doing so, it loses sight of what made this version of the character work. Read full review

USA TodayBrian TruittMay 20, 2026
At least Krasinski, doing his part yet again as the likable Everyman, gives “Ghost War” enough of a moral center and steely presence to stick with the dad-movie narrative. Read full review
