Jordan plays John Kelly, a Navy SEAL so tough even the other SEALs have to say he’s the biggest and baddest of them all. Since the novel on which this movie is based came out almost 30 years ago, putting his name in the title is to establish that this falls under his brand, which still sells books, movies, and video games. The unfortunately named Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse is not, in fact, about the late author or his lack of regrets for any possible wrongdoings. Yet the technical accuracy of his debut novel was so high they made an exception, and Tom Clancy became a household name, a bestselling author, and a brand. He sent it to Naval Institute Press, which until then had only published textbooks for Sea Service professionals. After completing The Hunt for Red October in 1983, Tom Clancy didn’t submit it to a big New York publishing house.
