Editorial Review
Amazon.co.uk Review
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. --Tom Keogh

Glued To Your Seat, 2010-07-27
This film is one of those that doesn't age at the time of my review its 16 years old but I had no hesitation buying from Amazon whilst browsing. Harrison Ford never seems to get older and puts in a cracking perfomance. William DaFoe is his usuall dependable brillance. With twists and turns round every corner with superb action scenes coupled with the fact its over two hours long. Make sure you've got the wine, popcorn, crisps etc as you won't want to leave your seat. Top FIlmClear And Present Danger Sp Edition [DVD] [1994]

Clear As Yankee Fog, 2009-10-28
Like most of the filmed Tom Clancy books, this one is a good way to spend a couple of hours without thinking too much, but it has all the absurdities of his other works, as filmed: the USA (which is the only country worth bothering about, it seems) is menaced by a terrible James Bond villain-like conspiracy of South American drug producers and the only way to stop America's utter destruction is to "get" them. That's pretty much the plot. No, really...The idea that people only farm, refine, export/import and distribute drugs where there is a ready market is not a message Americans want to hear. In reality, the only way to stop the drug problem in the USA is to heavily criminalize or, better still, kill off, the users who are the ultimate consumers. But of course no-one in the USA wants to hear that, especially when the users have included people like George W. Bush and Teddy Kennedy, among many many others. Far easier to bomb Colombia or elsewhere. So this is a silly American action film, but still good unthinking fun.

Good watch, 2009-11-28
In this follow up film Harrison is at his best. The story is good, and makes for a lazy Sunday afternoon's watching.

Jack Ryan strikes again!, 2010-01-12
Another high-level black-ops yarn with a fast-moving and action-packed story-line. Good value entertainment for those who like Jack Ryan's adventures as a special intelligence officer in a fictitious branch of the CIA. In this one, he takes over leadership from Admiral Greer and becomes very closely embroiled in an unsanctioned war against drug dealers in Columbia. Good bang-bang stuff!

Clear And Present Danger, 2003 Special Collector's Edition - Clear and present entertainment!, 2010-04-08
In the third of the Jack Ryan films, Harrison Ford reprises the role of Ryan, portraying the many facets of the character with consummate ease. He's moved onwards and upwards since the events of `Patriot Games', now a high ranking member of the CIA, giving briefings to the President.

The murder of a friend of the President leads to a link with a Columbian drugs cartel. A chain of events is set in motion to avenge the murder, and Ryan is caught in the middle, in the role of innocent patsy. He must uncover the truth and act to not only save his own career, but to save the lives of some patriots and to expose sickening corruption in the heart of Government.

With a strong central performance from Ford, and Willem Dafoe as the straight dealing Clarke, lots of big action set pieces and a well directed and tense search for the truth, this is an entertaining 2 hours and a highly recommended film.

This edition presents the film in its proper widescreen, with a really good 5.1 surround sound. There is also a DTS soundtrack, which sounds really good. There is a decent set of extras, all in all this is a package well worth getting.
