Tyler Edwin Nestor

There are a few things that don’t exactly add up, but this is still a creative, intriguing, action packed, enjoyable movie.

John Scognamiglio

Decent Tom Clancy adaptation. Love Harrison ford as Jack Ryan

Gregory Field Price

A classic Clancy supported by Ford in his prime. A strong plot and great acting. Nostalgic action thriller.

Great Tom Clancy story. Well executed by Harrison Ford.

Harrison Ford is just fantastic in anything he touches. This is no exception

When it’s good, it’s really good, but at all other points, it’s generic.

Great addition to the Jack Ryan franchise that brings along some greats in Samuel L. Jackson and Sean Bean. Clips along smoothly and is fun.

Joseph Last Name

Decent action but otherwise forgettable political thriller

Ford is great as Ryan. While this plays a bit too much like a standard action film for the Ryanverse, it’s still an entertaining ride.

An exciting thriller, which puts you on the edge of your seat.
