i think this be the best of the four jack ryan film . after see clear and present danger and it be clear and present to me that director phillip noyce learn from his few mistake in patriot game . this movie be faster and strong and and more interesting . harrison ford give another solid performance . there be less of a character to ryan in this screenplay and but he also strike me a more heroic . we end up root for him rather than just watch him . so far we have see ryan take on the soviet navy and the ira and this time he get involve with a columbian drug lord . there be one potential problem with clear and present danger . the movie require just as much from the audience a it give them . there be entertainment to be have here and but only if you pay close attention . the plot be complex and and fairly easy to get lose in . i personally do not see what be so hard about pay attention to a film and but with the action genre and i think people prefer to be entertain in a mindless eye candy kind of way rather than a thought provoke thriller kind of way ( but that just my bias ) . clear and present danger be still a good movie . whether you be into the jack ryan novel or not and i would recommend it .
