Thora Birch Movie:

Editorial Review:
The third installment in the cinematic incarnation of Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan and the second starring Harrison Ford, this follow-up to Patriot Games is a more complex, rewarding, and bolder film than its predecessor. Ford returns as Ryan, this time embroiled in a failed White House bid to wipe out a Colombian drug cartel and cover up the mess. The script, by Clancy and John Milius (Red Dawn), has an air of true adventure about it as Ryan places himself in harm's way to extract covert soldiers abandoned in a Latin American jungle. There are a couple of remarkable set pieces expertly handled by Patriot Games director Phillip Noyce, especially a shocking scene involving an ambush on Ryan's car in an alley. The supporting cast is superb, including Willem Dafoe as the soldiers' leader, Henry Czerny as Ryan's enemy at the CIA, Joaquim de Almeida as a smooth-talking villain, Ann Magnuson as an unwitting confederate in international crime, and James Earl Jones as Ryan's dying boss. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, theatrical trailer, closed captioning, optional French soundtrack, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

Clear and Present Danger [Region 2] Reviews:
GOOD DRAMA
2009-12-16 - I HAVE THIS FILM AND PATRIOT GAMES ON VHS AND I WANT TO KEEP THE TWO FILMS,WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THE FILMS ON DVD

Top-Notch Suspense Thriller. Lacks A Solid Conclusion, Though.
2009-10-24 - Harrison Ford, Anne Archer & James Earl Jones return for the next Jack Ryan adventure, "Clear And Present Danger." Teeming with suspense all the way through, the film, however, lacks a comeuppance for the main villains. Willem Dafoe joins the cast (who he plays is a major surprise), as do Henry Czerny, Dean Jones ("The Love Bug") &
Benjamin Bratt. Rated PG-13, but should have been rated PG.

If you're a fan of John Clark/John Kelly don't watch!
2009-09-15 - If you're a fan of John Clark/John Kelly from the Tom Clancey books don't watch this movie. They cast Clark with Willem Defoe and play him like some creepy CIA spook instead of a stand up guy. They also ruin the great ending with the AC130. This was a real bummer after the other movies being so good.

Clear and Present Danger dvd
2009-09-13 - As always, I have superb service from Amazon. I received this dvd timely and I most certainly would order again. Excellent turnaround!

Another Harrison Ford performance
2009-09-07 - Although there are other Harrison Ford movies I like better; this one is very good. Other characters get in the way a bit too often.
