my dad never read much for fun, but when he did, it was always tomclancy books. for this reason, i have always been interested in tom clancy book based movies. it started with 'the hunt for red october',
and continued with harrison ford's entries into the series. i was
disappointed that he didn't continue the series, but was ok with ben
affleck as a replacement to reboot the franchise. this one was all right,
you know, as far as political intrigue thrillers go. it follows a group of
terrorists who get a hold of a nuclear weapon and detonate it inside
america's borders, and the start of jack ryan's career in the
government. its a pretty good yarn, nothing to interesting, nothing too terrible. a note of interest: this was the first big action movie to come
out in america after the attack on the world trade center. the depiction of terrorism in our borders was an unfortunate coincidence.
as a result of the events, many of the special effects that were to show
the destruction of the city were tamed down or scrapped all together.
