Clear and Present Danger (Special Edition)
"Great! It keeps you on the edge of your seat! Ford is perfect." -Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview
Harrison Ford returns as intrepid CIA agent Jack Ryan. When his mentor Admiral James Greer (James Earl Jones) becomes gravely ill, Ryan is appointed acting CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence. His first assignment: investigate the murder of one of the President's friends, a prominent U.S. businessman with secret ties to Colombian drug cartels. Unbeknownst to Ryan, the CIA has already dispatched a deadly operative to lead a paramilitary force against the Colombian drug lords. Caught in the crossfire, Ryan takes matters into his own hands, risking his career and life for the only cause he still believes in--the truth.

This is the third film in the Jack Ryan series but is the second for Harrison Ford. This is an excellent film and is just as intense and thrilling as the first two. The story is awesome and does not stray much from the book which is great if you read them I hate when the hack up the books. The action is very well done and the effects are top notch. It is always good to bring back the same characters it give the film a lot of credit and continuity so you do not have to refigure out who is who.Excellent political-action thriller - Coconut_Willy
Second time around for many members of the cast and crew makes for an even better production. This is a novel that I had greatly enjoyed and I was pleased to see that they did not cut too much in the more important threads that Tom Clancy had created. The storyline is great and very well developed with a nice mixture of action and political intrigue. The suspense escalation here may not be so great but it certainly leads to an incredible turn of events in the end. The cast is probably even better than in the previous installment doing a very good acting job with a very good dialogue and well defined characters. The sets and locations are excellent as well as the soundtrack and the camera work is appropriate. Some action scenes (one in particular) are incredibly well made. The DVD again comes with an interview featuring many members of the cast and crew. Well worth watching. Highly recommended.
