PATRIOT GAMES (Theatrical Release USA 1992)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Patriot Games—the first Tom Clancy story that casts Harrison Ford as the lead protagonist Jack Ryan—moves along well, demands complete audience involvement, and competently presents well-timed and appropriate action scenes to satisfy the action/hero movie fan. Great work for Director Phillip Noyce.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia
