oh dear and what a let down . this movie leave me with the feeling that two hour of my life have be steal . ok and so this be jack ryan before patriot game ( give that he unmarried . the movie be unclear on the time when it set ) and so he have to be young and but harrison ford manage to portray ryan a a nice guy and insecure but fundamentally smart and and affleck just can not do it . he try hard and but be handicap [ ironically ] by his good look and boyish smile . what be even bad be that the script do affleck no favour . [ spoiler alert ] . he make a crucial phone call to someone who doesn not trust him and fail to put the key information in the first sentence . that fundamentally stupid . he dash around the world like a demented chicken rather than stay cool and make a few phone call . and then there the plot hole represent john clark can not or would not speak russian . he doesn not seem to know that most ukrainians understand russian . cathy get knock over inside a hospital by a nuclear blast and stay there for hour afterwards and and doesn not suffer any radiation after effect in later book . come on and this be well beyond belief . [ end spoiler alert ] . clancy write well and and deserves credit for come close than anyone else [ spoiler alert for possible future movie ] to predict september 11 in debt of honor and which i read on a plane come back from japan represent ( [ end spoiler alert ] and but watch this make me lose belief in jack ryan and therefore to lose interest in clancy book . i really be tempt to sell or donate all my clancy novel and just keep every man a tiger and into the storm and where his ability to write military tactic combine with fact . perhaps and though and sum of all fear be just a blip in clancy write career . the following conversation take place in the men restroom after the movie representme represent that be bad . him represent yeah and and the air conditioning be freeze . me represent wasn not there some woman character in the book who make thing really difficult for ryan . she be totally miss from the movie him represent oh and you have read the book . me represent well and i start it him represent be it bore too . qed .
