Harrison Jack Ryan Ford

There have been quite a few adaptations of Jack Ryan and depending on your taste you like some and you don't care for others. Harrison Ford seems a perfect fit (age group aside or at least related) to portray a "spy" like that. I have not read the novels the character is based on, so I can't really say how some will feel about the physicality but that is true about every actor playing the role and making an effort.

This of course has a lot of politics in it. But it also is quite a thriller. You may like how it is paced or how the twists and turns happen (doesn't even really matter if you see them coming, when it comes to the entertainment factor of the movie itself),but overall the movie delivers on what is promising. Great actors assemble too, even in smaller roles

nice mix of intrigue and action

President Bennett's friends are murdered by Columbian Cali cartel drug lord Escobedo. He seeks revenge by declaring them Clear and Present Danger. Presidential Adviser James Cutter and Bob Ritter sends John Clark (Willem Dafoe) and his team to direct bombs on the targets. It's a secret mission that neither Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) nor his mentor Jim Greer know about. Greer is sick with cancer. Ryan is appointed Deputy Director of Intelligence and sent down to Bogota. Meanwhile Escobedo has intelligence operative Félix Cortez who has inside info in the White House and plans of his own.

It's an intriguing political espionage mixed with some well executed action scenes. The ambush in Bogota is terrific action. Joaquim de Almeida is a great villain. He has a great depth which is perfect for his double dealing. It's a well made Tom Clancy spy movie.

The best Jack Ryan film out there

The last of Harrison Ford's outings as Jack Ryan (following PATRIOT GAMES),CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER is a classy outing that throws the star into the middle of a drugs war between Colombian cocaine barons and some highly corrupt American officials. Along the way, he must contend with an ineffectual President (THE THING's Donald Moffat),an ailing buddy (the ever excellent James Earl Jones) and a mercenary leader (the scene stealing Willem Dafoe).

The movie is well shot and entertaining, never better than when detailing the cyber hijinks between Ford and corporate schmuck Henry Czerny or an excellent ambush set-piece halfway through. The first half is a little slow but things really pick up for the second, which depicts a complex situation south of the border with no less than three sides competing for dominance and Ford caught in the middle. We get a solid turn from Ford and a deliciously tough bad guy performance from Joaquim de Almeida, alongside well-shot action and a climax that doesn't hold back.
