    The first 3 Jack Ryan movies are a trip. • "Red October" is an ensemble masterpiece • "Patriot Games" is extremely solid and Ryan is now played by one of the biggest movie stars of all time, Noyce replaces McTiernan • "Clear/Present Danger" is even better, Noyce at the helm again and the rest

    Look, The Hunt for Red October is a perfect film. PERFECT. But is Patriot Games somehow better?

    IMO October is a better movie than Patriot Games but Ford makes for a better Ryan than Baldwin because he’s less smooth and a little more rough (and rumpled) around the edges. A Harrison Ford punch is not the punch of someone who’s done it a lot, even though he’s done it a lot.

    I will die on the hill, and take as many of my attackers with me as I can, that Harrison Ford was a terrible, terribly cast Jack Ryan and that Patriot Games a is a terrible adaptation of the book and Clear and Present Danger is actually worse. The Hunt is the only good Clancy movie.

    when I was a kid we rented this from blockbuster, and like every movie we rented, we made a copy of it, and I watched it all the time. Between this and Patriot Games, I had a really overblown sense of how much I needed to worry about the IRA.

    Patriot Games is a top, elite film. Quite why I'm watching it at 8.30am I have no idea. But a brilliant favourite of mine. And Harrison Ford is a legend of the screen. Nice guy too apparently.

    it's funny because there are so many scenes from PATRIOT GAMES that are just burned into my subconscious, but also on a rewatch it's a legitimately bad movie. just not even in the ballpark of either HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER or CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER

    Growing up in the 80s, when someone said "terrorist," I immediately thought of some Irish guy and The Troubles. It was less 24 and more Patriot Games...but even that movie had the Irish terrorists training with nondescript Arab baddies.

    Well, the obvious problem is "Patriot Games" had nothing to do with "The Hunger Games". It was a Harrison Ford movie based on the works of Tom Clancy. But, on the other hand, the fact that Trump is illiterate should surprise nobody. 😊

    The dude cannot do anything original. He just waters it down. "Make America Great Again" was a Reagan-era slogan, "Patriot Games" is both the name of an old movie & the plot of a bunch of YA books. The arch has been done before, but better. And that's not even mentioning the 1930s Germany parallels.

    I watched a YouTuber react to "Patriot Games" who knew nothing of the movie's context, even though it was only slightly older than she was. That's understandable, I think, for a movie reactor, but not for someone who's had "past bylines [in] Rolling Stone, Politico, TNR, The Nation, Slate, etc."

    It’s the closest thing we’ve ever gotten to a Rainbow Six movie and also like 45 mins too long, my dad loved this one, even more than Red October and Patriot Games. And it does kinda rock, the big finale is just Harrison Ford calling the President of the United States a fucking asshole. Great flick.
