It's no wonder that three first-rank screenwriters were hired to adapt this sequel to Patriot Games, as there is so much plot in Tom Clancy's original novel that it's a minor miracle they managed to squeeze it all in. It takes the picture some time to gather momentum but, once the links between the Colombian drugs barons and some top US officials are established, it's action all the way. Harrison Ford is on commanding form for his second outing as CIA troubleshooter Jack Ryan and director Phillip Noyce makes a much better job of this than he did of The Saint.
Plot Summary
Political thriller starring Harrison Ford and Willem Dafoe. When Jack Ryan is asked to investigate the murder of a friend of the US President, he finds himself up against not only a Colombian drugs cartel but also corrupt American government officials.
