CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (Theatrical Release USA 1994)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Clear and Present Danger—straightforward story based on Tom Clancy’s novel—shows Harrison Ford again as character Jack Ryan. Good acting by Willem Dafoe helps establish additional strength in the story. This movie performs as an above average action flick that is completely worth watching. Great work for all involved.
