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.

For Jodie Turner-Smith, who plays Navy SEAL Lt. Commander Karen Greer, and the niece to James Earl Jones’ Vice Admiral James "Jim" Greer (from the Jack Ryan films), this is her first big action role on the big screen. On TV, she played Sgt. Azima Kandie in the 2017–2018 season of the TNT series The Last Ship, and Melantha Jhirl in the 2018 Syfy/Netflix series Nightflyers. She was last seen opposite Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya in the film Queen & Slim and is slated to play Queen Anne Boleyn in a three-part drama series on BBC’s Channel 5. BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales spoke to Turner-Smith about the physical nature of her role in Without Remorse.
