i have to say that all of the clancy novel that be make into film and with the exception of the sum of all fear be bring to life a great film . harrison ford reprise his role a dr. jack ryan and who be force in this film to step into the shoe of admiral greer and who be die . while there be a lot of each character personal life carefully insert into the film and it never cease to be clever and interesting . it much well to watch than any senseless action picture with bruce willis or your wimpy little ben affleckish character . the film be perfectly balance so that there be not a single boring scene in the picture . the wheel be constantly turn to make sure something dramatic be happen to really draw you far into the picture . i recommend this movie as well a it two predecessor and the hunt for red october and and patriot game . both of which be equally brilliant .
