It's no wonder that three first-rank screenwriters were hired to adapt this sequel to Patriot Games, as there is so much plot in Tom Clancy's original novel that it's a minor miracle they squeezed it all into 135 minutes. It takes the picture some time to gather momentum, but, once the links between the Colombian drugs barons and some top US officials are established, it's action all the way. Harrison Ford is on commanding form for his second outing as CIA troubleshooter Jack Ryan and director Phillip Noyce makes a much better job of this than he did of The Saint.

Excellent Clear and Present Danger.
Ok, You need to watch The Hunt for the Red October, then Patriot Games to really appreciate this Jack Ryan Character. CIA Analyst Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford at his best) is drawn into an illegal war fought by the US government against a Colombian drug cartel. Fantastic Action Thriller, Superb Cast and Acting, Attention Grabbing scenes. You won’t want to miss this one.
