User Reviews

Arguably the best Jack Ryan movie with Harrison Ford in his old guy action hero prime. Sharp story with a bit of a blah ending. Fun watch.

Great beginning, great ending, pretty good in the middle but it kinda seems to lose track here and there. I liked Alex Baldwin more as Ryan

I never get enough of these old school 90s thrillers.The fugitive’s still the best one though

A sort of sequel to Patriot Games, but a much better adaptation of Clancy’s work.

Rick Anthony McArthur

Best of all these Tom Clancy adaptations about the singular character. 4 some odd reason they made them go backwards like Spiderman films?🤨

William Dafoe was pretty cool in this movie

This is also worth whatching because it is good for the whole family and is also in the jack ryan series.

A pretty basic espionage thriller. Plenty entertaining, and Harrison Ford is a great Jack Ryan.

Indy works for the government and tries to find meaning in his life after most of the Nazis have been defeated

Great follow up sequel action thriller to Fords first Jack Ryan movie. Gripping and action filled, well worth watching
