Without Remorse is an American action film directed by Stefano Sollima with a screenplay by Taylor Sheridan and Will Staples.

Jordan, Jamie Bell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Luke Mitchell, Jack Kesy, Brett Gelman, Colman Domingo and Guy Pearce.

In 2017, it was announced that Akiva Goldsman had signed with the same studio to produce another film adaptation starring Clark, Rainbow Six. On September 20, 2018, Michael B. Jordan was announced to play the character in a two-part film series, which will consist of Remorseless and Rainbow Six and produced by Goldsman, Jordan, Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec. In December 2018, Stefano Sollima was hired to direct the film. On January 9, 2019, Variety reported that Taylor Sheridan would rewrite the script.

Synopsis :
An elite Navy SEAL uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, the explosive origin story of action hero John Clark – one of the most popular characters in author Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan universe. When a squad of Russian soldiers kills his family in retaliation for his role in a top-secret op, Sr. Chief John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) pursues the assassins at all costs. Joining forces with a fellow SEAL (Jodie Turner-Smith) and a shadowy CIA agent (Jamie Bell), Kelly’s mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war. Torn between personal honor and loyalty to his country, Kelly must fight his enemies without remorse if he hopes to avert disaster and reveal the powerful figures behind the conspiracy.
