The third instalment in the cinematic incarnation of Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan and the second starring Harrison Ford, this follow-up to Patriot Games is a more complex, rewarding and bolder film than its predecessor. Ford returns as Ryan, this time embroiled in a failed White House bid to wipe out a Colombian drug cartel and cover up the mess. The script, by Clancy and John Milius (Big Wednesday), has an air of true adventure about it as Ryan places himself in harm's way to extract covert soldiers abandoned in a Latin American jungle. There are a couple of remarkable set pieces expertly handled by Patriot Games director Phillip Noyce, especially a shocking scene involving an ambush on Ryan's car in an alley. The supporting cast is superb, including Willem Dafoe as the soldiers' leader, Henry Czerny as Ryan's enemy at the CIA, Joaquim de Almeida as a smooth-talking villain, Ann Magnuson as an unwitting confederate in international crime, and James Earl Jones as Ryan's dying boss.Read full review
A long winded and predictable thriller from writer Tom Clancy and director Phillip Noyce. This DVD is a far superior release to the awful original, although the covers look identical apart from the yellow banding top and bottom. Beware of 'stock' photos. A decent dts sound mix and anamorphic picture has given the film much more scope. One extra is added in the form of a documentary. O.k. if you're a fan.
First I was looking for this movie long time and once I saw was been sold in ebay I was happy and Im happy I tried my best to win the bid which at the last I won.What I like in this movie is superb because Im a big fan of action movies.
Good suspence story line. Well acted. Excellently filmed. Survival possibility stretched at times, but acceptable.
Good.
