Bewertungen und Rezensionen

A great action thriller, albeit a little dated now. It is one of the few examples of a film being more enjoyable than the source novel. Ford is very watchable as always and he makes the role of Jack Ryan his own, but I have often wondered what Alec Baldwin would have done with the character if he had continued on after The Hunt for Red October.

When it's moving along, the action's well done but there are too many long, slow meandering moments that kills the excitement. Well acted and well shot but could stand to be shorter. Still going to watch is sequel though...

Pretty good film the comment below lol the ira were not terrorists try telling that to all the innocent people they murdered. I'd say a pretty good description of the scum
