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

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!

This is a well made thriller (better than the shoddy Patriot Games - but then what wasn't?) that has a beautiful twist at the end. Still, I think Alec Baldwin was the best actor to play Jack Ryan. Don't get me wrong, but with Ford I expect his Ryan to either go looking for the Ark of the Covenant or prep the Millenium Falcon for the jump to hyperspace. Just saying, is all.

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

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.
