History Film / WithoutRemorse

The film was released on April 30, 2021 exclusively on Creator/PrimeVideo.

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: Kelly gets proof of the BigBad's identity when he casually mentions a detail of the mission to Russia that wasn't in the official AAR and [[spoiler:Clay]] doesn't react to it.

** Additionally, Karen Greer was created for this movie primarily to modernize the story. James Greer himself exists as Karen's uncle in a thinly veiled attempt to connect with the Jack Ryan TV series.

* Spin-Offspring: Karen Greer is established as James Greer's niece, taking over James's role in the story.

* RatedMForManly: There is no blood, swearing, sex or substance abuse to speak of in this R rated actioner. But you have a bona-fide badass AntiHero who will violate regulations to assault and torture a Russian delagate out in the open, fire upon Russian police to provide cover for his men, and beat the ever living crap out of several armored guards who have detained him wearing only prison pants; which isnt very common in many PG-13 heroes.

* PlausibleDeniability: Lampshaded by Kelly when he realizes that the actions of the US team could provoke a war between the US and Russia. His teammates are serving members of the US military and their presence on Russian soil would be seen as an act of war against Russia. They cannot be captured or their bodies found in an identifiable state. On the other hand, Kelly is officially a rogue operator who escped from prison while awaiting trial for murder. If the Russians catch him or are able to identify his body, the US government can deny any involvement and claim that Kelly was on a personal vendetta. This means that Kelly is the only one who can engage the Russian police and has to create a distraction big enough that his teammates can get away without being identified.

* JerkassHasAPoint: The CIA coldly decides not to pursue the people who ordered the killings of Kelly's wife and teammates because they fear that senior Russian officials are involved and any retaliation against them could cause a war between the US and Russia. Kelly and Greer find this action cowardly and dishonorable and go rogue in order to pursue justice/revenge. However, the CIA is correct in their assessment and Kelly spends the climax of the movie desperately trying to cover up the presence of US soldiers on Russian soil because the revelation could provoke a war betwen US and Russia.

* TwoferTokenMinority: Again, Lt. Commander Greer, an African-American woman in charge of a Navy SEAL team. To date, no SEAL team has been led by one real life. Just to put this in perspective, it was only very recently (like 2021 recently) that the first woman of ''any'' race completed the required SEAL/SWCC training program, and that was just to be able to transport SEALS to and from missions.

* ATeamFiring: Averted: Both John and the black-ops merc shoot at each other at close range and most, if not all, of the bullets fired between them find their mark. [[spoiler: John makes it. The merc doesn't]].
