a5c7b9f00b When an American businessman who is a good friend of the President's is killed along with his entire family, the killings appear to be the work of a Colombian Drug Cartel. Upon hearing this, the President tells his National Security Adviser – James Cutter– that he wants him to start a Black Op against the Colombians. At the same time the President orders every agency to find out why his friend was killed. CIA Deputy Director James Greer, whom the President has asked for helpwell, is in poor health, so he asks his protege – Jack Ryan– to fill in for him. Jack finds himself working with Robert Ritter (whom Greer has told him him not to trust)and Ritter is the very person Cutter has asked to handle the operation. Jack eventually finds out that the dead businessman may have been involved with the Colombians and may have been embezzling from them. When Ritter puts the plan into operation, the Colombians are wondering who is after them. So, the Cartel's intelligence man "Felix Cortez" tries to find out, while he is–at the same time– plotting to assassinate Ernesto Escobedo (the head of the cartel) and take over the entire operation. When a CIA secretary, who had been seen with Cortez in D.C.turns up dead, Ryan becomes convinced that there is a three-way conspiracy afoot which might extend all the way to the White House.
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 an 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.
I don't know why, but this movie failed to hold my interest. I like all of the cast members, the photography and direction seemed OK, and the book it was based on was great. It just didn't seem to come together. Willem Defoe did well in his role, although I agree that he was miscast, from the perspective of the book. True, you can't film a whole Clancy novel without making a 40 hour movie, but "Hunt for Red October" made a very good film. I haven't seen "Patriot Games" so I cannot comment on that. Grade: D
The movie was very entertaining and educational but to be a classic in it's genre,it should have had better action sequences towards the end of the movie.Particularly the scenes of the daring rescue of the special forces from the Colombians.The thrill was there but the action was not powerfull enough which fans of this movie subject will definitely demand.Ford may be getting old but he can still pull off better action sequences than what was shown in this movie.Even the scenes where in the US special forces were defeated by the mercenaries could have been way better.The scenes where the CIA guys were ambushed in their vans was very good.They should have continued with those kind of sequences in the other action scenes.It was a bad decition to tone down the violence too much becouse the seriousness of the movie demands realism to become a classic.Still a good try.I know Ford did not like the way it was donewell and that is why he is reluctantof now to play Jack Ryan again.Ford knows movies well.I give this one an 8 out of 10.
The plot alone is a thing of beauty.
Clear and Present Danger is based on the 1989 novel of the same title by American author Tom Clancy. It is a sequel to two other films featuring Jack Ryan: <a href="/title/tt0099810/">The Hunt for Red October (1990)</a> (1990) and <a href="/title/tt0105112/">Patriot Games (1992)</a> (1992). Yet another sequel, <a href="/title/tt0164184/">The Sum of All Fears (2002)</a> was released in 2002. The novel was adapted for the movie by screenwriters Donald Stewart, Stephen Zailllian, and John Milius. A reboot of the franchise started with <a href="/title/tt1205537/">Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)</a> in 2014. No. Clear and Present Danger worksan independent story from all of the previous films. The only carryover question from Patriot Games is the gender of Jack (<a href="/name/nm0000148/">Harrison Ford</a>) and Cathy (<a href="/name/nm0000271/">Anne Archer</a>) Ryan's about-to-be-born child (a son). In the film, when discussing the problem of the South American drug cartels in the U.S., President Bennett (<a href="/name/nm0595567/">Donald Moffat</a>) says that they represent a "clear and present danger" to the national security of the United States. The phrase comes from a legal opinion by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and deals with the circumstances under which the government may legally regulate speech. Holmes offered the standard that speech can be regulated when it will create a situation which constitutes a "clear and present danger" that the government has an interest in preventing. The hypothetical example used by Holmes was falsely shouting "fire" in a crowded theater. Such a situation is punishable by the government since, in this case, the speech would present a clear (easily foreseeable) and present (imminent) danger that people in the theater would get hurt in an effort to flee a fictitious fire. The flag was that of Panama. The reason why the Colombians put up the flag was to show that they were Panamanian and that the coast guard had no jurisdiction to stop them. However the US Coast Guard has agreements with many countries around the world such that they can stop any ship they feel is suspicious. The boat was registered to the US, so the Coast Guard had an incontrovertible reason to stop it. Cortez (<a href="/name/nm0021835/">Joaquim de Almeida</a>) killed Moira (<a href="/name/nm0005174/">Ann Magnuson</a>) because she was a loose end who could potentially identify him if ever there was an investigation into who knew FBI director Emile Jacobs (<a href="/name/nm0848716/">Tom Tammi</a>) was going to Colombia. Moira didn't know Cortez's real name, but she could have put a face to the file that the CIA/DEA already had for him. Moira was also a "honeypot"she was unknowingly feeding Cortez detailed information through her intimate relationship with him. Jack Ryan's real name is John Patrick Ryan. Jack is a nickname for John, justBob is a nick for Robert. It's the Largo from the Symphony N°9 (aka New World Symphony) by Antonin Dvorák and commonly knownGoing Home, a standard tune for pipe bands to play at funerals for police officers and military personnel. So far, Clancy has written 12 novels that feature Jack Ryan. They are: The Hunt for Red October (1984), Patriot Games (1987), The Cardinal of the Kremlin (1988), Clear and Present Danger (1989), The Sum of All Fears (1991), Without Remorse (1993), Debt of Honor (1994), Executive Orders (1996), Rainbow Six (1998) (mention only), The Bear and the Dragon (2000), Red Rabbit (2002), and The Teeth of the Tiger (2003). Of the 12 books in the Ryan-universe, five have so far been made into movies—<a href="/title/tt0099810/">The Hunt for Red October (1990)</a> (1990), <a href="/title/tt0105112/">Patriot Games (1992)</a> (1992), Clear and Present Danger, <a href="/title/tt0164184/">The Sum of All Fears (2002)</a> (2002), and <a href="/title/tt1205537/">Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)</a> (2014). <a href="/title/tt0499097/">Without Remorse</a> is currently in development without an expected release date.
