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
Product Description
Paramount Clear And Present Danger (Blu-ray) This is thethird film based on Tom Clancy's high-tech espionage potboilers starring CIA deputy director Jack Ryan. Harrison Ford, returning to the Ryan role after his first go-round in 1992's "Patriot Games", is assigned to a delicate anti-drug investigation after a close friend of the President (a Reaganesque Donald Moffat) is murdered by a Colombian drug cartel. When Ryan discovers that the President's wealthy friend was in league with the cartel, the President's devious national security adviser (Harris Yulin) and an ambitious CIA deputy director (Henry Czerny) send a secret paramilitary force into Colombia to wipe out the drug lords. The force is captured and then abandoned by the President's lackeys. It falls to Ryan to enter Colombia and rescuethem, aided only by a renegade operative named Clark (Willem Dafoe), with both his life and career on the line.

 Clear and Present Danger (Special Collector's Edition) January 17, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Jack Ryan is back and this time the bad guys are in his own government. When Admiral James Greer becomes sick with cancer, Ryan is appointed acting CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence. Almost before he can draw a breath in his new position, one of the president's closest friends and his family are murdered in their sleep by what appears to by drug cartels. Ryan is called in to investigate, but unknown to him the CIA has already sent a secret field operative to lead an illegal paramilitary force in Colombia against cartels. Things get even more complicated when his team is set up and he loses and agent in the field and a friend of his wife's, who was the murdered agent's secretary is murdered that same day. Ryan must then risk not only his career, but his life to expose the truth behind the mystery. This movie is smart, tight, utterly convincing and believable and well executed, this is a "action" movie that does get you involved and hanging on the edge of your seat.

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. October 24, 2009
HAMLET
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! September 15, 2009

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.
