Product Description
WHEN HIS MENTOR BECOMES GRAVELY ILL, JACK RYAN IS APPOINTED ACTING CIA DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF INTELLIGENCE. HIS FIRST ASSIGNMENT: INVESTIGATE THE MURDER OF ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S FRIENDS, A BUSINESSMAN WITH SECRET TIES TO COLUMBIAN DRUG CARTELS. RYAN TAKES MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS.
Amazon.com
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

 PISSED OFF! June 28, 2009
Blu Ray Fanatic! (Chicago, Illinois)
I was robbed. I paid the money for the blu-ray and it was never sent to me. I tried contacting the seller several times and NEVER received a reply. Amazon.com has got to do something about sellers like this and compensating buyers like me that have been ripped off. Even if they don't do it because it's good business to keep the customer happy and buying, especially in this terrible economy, do it because it's the right thing to do. FYI: since this has happened I've spent $250 on the purchase of Blu-Ray movies --from BLOCKBUSTER. Money I would have happily given to Amazon.com or any seller, if only I wasn't ignored and my request unanswered.

When I received this Blue-ray disc, I was disappointed to see that I cannot play it on my 2-year old, top of the line, Sony DVD player until I go to Sony's website and install a firm-ware update on my DVD. I haven't had time to do it yet, so I don't even know if it's possible, but something to think about before you buy.

Quality is very good and the time that it took to receive this movie was perfect. This is a very good movie

It's bad to wage war on drug dealers in south America?!?!? I wish Tom Clancy would keep his libertarian beliefs to himself and do us all a big favor.
 Jack Ryan at his best! February 14, 2009
D. Redfeld (Los Angeles CA USA)
A really taught thriller with a detailed plot that twists all over. It was fun to watch this film again and marvel at how well-directed it is. A great script and Harrison Ford is awesome as Jack Ryan. The supporting cast, particularly Henry Czerny as the nasty CIA Operations Director, Robert Ritter, is also terrific.
The High Def transfer looks great. I had read some complaints about it, but I saw no pixilation or artifacts. In fact, I was amazed at the detail, particularly noticeable in the stitching on clothes! I compared it to my DVD, which was grainy and couldn't compare at all.
The True HD sound is really spectacular, highlighting the powerful and brassy James Horner score and a large array of explosions.
If you're a fan of these films, it's definitely worth the buy. This film hasn't looked and sounded this good since it's original theatrical release!
