i must have seen a different film!!

best movie i've ever seen.

Admirable film.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

CIA Analyst Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) is drawn into an illegal war fought by the US government against a Colombian drug cartel.James Berardinelli remarked, "Clear and Present Danger is all plot and no characters. The people running around on screen have about as much depth as the sheen of sweat on Harrison Ford's forehead. Jack Ryan is the most disappointing of all. He's disgustingly virtuous: a flawless fighter for good and justice, a Superman without the cape. I spent half the movie wondering if this guy was ever going to show anything to mark him as vaguely human." That just seems too harsh, and for no good reason. This is an action film, after all. Sure, we do not get the depth we might like from Jack Ryan, but we have already developed him in two prior films. This is action, a spy thriller. We need twists, turns, gunfire and explosions! (And we get them, too.)

It's no wonder why Tom Clancy was angered with the making of his books into movies after Patriot Games. Many characters from the book were changed from the start of the movie. The movie was confusing for most audience members because it left out many chapters and sub plots from the book. In the book Jack Ryan does not find out the connection to the drug cartel until after the covert operation began because he never had a briefing with the President because the President had already made a statement of Clear and Present Danger. Ryan never meets Clark until after Escobedo's was bombed from an aerial strike. The movie also left out Samuel Jackson's character(Robby) out of the movie when he was a major part in the book discovering about the Covert Operation in Columbia. Harrison Ford Anne Archer and James Earl Jones reprized their roles with finesse. If you are an avid reader of Tom Clancy this movie will disappoint you.

Clear and Present Danger is a good movie with a very well developed storyline and a very talented cast.Harrison Ford returns as Jack Ryan for a second outing,and it's more intense and a lot more action than we saw in Patriot Games,Ford clearly still enjoyed playing Ryan and it shows in his performance.Anne Archer also returns as Jack Ryan's wife Cathy,and I find her as annoying as i did in Patriot Games,I haven't seen her in anything else and I know she's suppose to be a very good actress in other things,but I find her characters dialogue and just the way Archer delivers them very irritating and just unrealistic.Clear and Present Danger is action packed and very intense and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great action or thriller. After a close friend of the president of the United States is murdered,Jack Ryan gets involved in a war against a powerful drug cartel. Best Performance: Harrison Ford Worst Performance: Anne Archer
