Agreed a 100%. It's the start of the adventure, and he's learning the ropes.
On your next topic, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, I had the chance to read the book before watching the movie; excellent book and decent movie, but you are right, Krazinsky can play an action character, just not the John McLain (Bruce Willis) or Major ''Dutch'' Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) type.
For me, and this is a personal opinion, so I'm not arguing, he looked really comfortable as an analyst, and totally beleivable behind a desk. On the field, even if he his a Marine, he looked overwelmed and out of his element, but still wanted to perform. What you saw has a ''Christmas elf'', I saw has a desk jockey for the last four years trying to cope with a firefight and a scenario he was not anticipating.
I enjoy John Krazinsky's performance and think he paint a good portrait of Jack Ryan. Where Harrison Ford played it more smoothly, more natural, Krazinsky's Ryan is, to me, more struggling out of his comfort zone.
