Amazon.co.uk Review

Let's see--he has been Han Solo in three films and Indiana Jones in three more. So why shouldn't Harrison Ford take on a new continuing character in Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan? In this film, directed by Phillip Noyce, Ford picked up the baton when Alec Baldwin, who played Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, opted for a Broadway role instead. In this film, Ryan and his family are on vacation when Ryan saves a member of the British royal family from attack by Irish terrorists. The next thing he knows, the Ryan clan has been targeted by the same terrorists, who invade his Maryland home. The film can't shed all of Clancy's lumbering prose, or his techno-dweeb fascination with spy satellites and the like. But no one is better than Ford at righteous heroism--and Sean Bean makes a suitably snakey villain. --Marshall Fine


Synopsis

His days as a CIA analyst behind him, Jack Ryan travels to London to vacation with his family. Outside Buckingham Palace, he is caught in the middle of an attack on a member of the royal family but manages to foil the attempt and dispatch one of the terrorists. The Irish terrorists vow revenge. Based on Tom Clancy's novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harrison Ford V Sean Bean, what an event, 10 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Patriot Games [DVD] [1992] (DVD)
This film is based on the novel by Tom Clancy of the same name. It is truly an outstanding film, full of intense action and edge of seat thrill. The price of heroism come dearly to jack ryan, almost costing him the lives of his family, but i wont tell you anymore about the film, that would spoil it. Needless to say the film is brilliently made and keeps to the general plot of the novel which is good.

Buy it just to see it.

Go on you know you want to.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best thrillers of all time, 5 Feb 2008
By Ms. S. C. Bidwell "bidders86" (Oxfordshire (mostly!)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This adaptation ot Clancy's novel of the same name is outstanding- Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan is once again excellent in this thriller.

The story centres on Ryan, who having left the CIA behind years previously to focus on his family, gives a lecture in London during a holiday with his wife and daughter. In a chance encounter in Mayfair, Ryan defends an attack on a member of the Royal Family by a brutally ruthless IRA-ofshoot faction, killing one of two brothers involved, and thus incurring the wrath of the elder brother, Sean Miller (Sean Bean), the leader of the attack, who will stop at nothing to get revenge. Having recuperated and testified against Miller, Ryan returns home with his family, only to find that Miller has escaped from prison and is coming after him. This turn of envents puts an initially reluctant Ryan back in the CIA, as he endeavours to protect the lives of himself and his family. Tense and gripping scenarios ensue, including a lights-out, nail-biting finale at Ryan's remote home, and some excellent action sequences.

The acting is great- Sean Bean's Ulster accent is spot-on and the supporting cast, including Polly Maberly, is very good too. The script is intelligent and entertaining, and the soundtrack is pretty good too. Of all the Clancy films, this is my favourite.

This review is from: Patriot Games [DVD] [1992] (DVD)
This is a fast-paced though predictable thriller but never becomes dull because of good acting by harrison ford, anne archer, sean bean and the other cast members.The action is realistic and doesn't rely too heavily on special effects.Worth watching once.
