The problem with this film in the 2020s is that the book it's loosely based on was already out-of-date when it was made. The Jack Ryan novels have not aged well; briefly put, the world-view projected is post Cold War & 'the USA (& particularly the CIA) has won, because the USSR has collapsed'. Not quite how it was turning out, even in the early 2000s.
Then there are the many plot-holes, most visible in the scenes that take place in Baltimore; mobile signal post EMP, anyone?
