Patriot Games
1992
**½
Director: Phillip Noyce
Cast: Harrison Ford, Sean Bean, Anne Archer, Patrick Bergin, Thora Birch
While in London with his family, Jack Ryan saves the lives of some British bigwigs, which makes him the enemy of a radical wing of Ira. This limp action thriller is adapted from Tom Clancy's novel, and its politics are dubious, to say the least. The finale of this revenge story is disturbingly close to that of Cape Fear.
