Clear and Present Danger

Love these movies, and Harrison Ford does an excellent job portraying Jack Ryan. You won't regret renting this movie.

Exactly what we were looking for!

Good Movie

A classic Pop Culture film of our time.

Doesn't hold up too well over time (comparing to Amazon Jack Ryan show), but still well done and better than Patriot Games...enjoy!

We rented this for movie night. Great movie

Having liked this franchise since it’s beginning (Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan in Hunt for Red October), it was great when Ford took over. Not that Baldwin was not a great Jack - he was - but the next two films are equally outstanding. Same franchise, but new Jack, yet somehow they all hit a high bar. While my wife prefers the previous, Patriot Games, my favorite of the two is Clear and Present Danger (4K UHD). When Amazon had a deal on it, we grabbed them both for our streaming library. I just completed Clear and Present Danger and once again, loved it. Ford as Ryan has a maturity to him. He’s settled, more settled into his life back at CIA, and with his boss (played by James Earl Jones) there to turn to, Ryan is great at taking on the bad guys. Unfortunately for him, this film sees the bad guys all around him in Washington DC and his boss eventually.... well, you’ll have to watch to find out. Ford takes it on and comes away with the save for the win. But not before a few trips to South America and run ins with the President, his staff, and a major drug cartel. The action is high, his family supports him (though not on the front lines of this fight), and Ryan of course gets into trouble being shot at. In the end, this Ryan is a great film.

fits areas and cuts well.

If you are a Harrison Ford fan in particular, you will enjoy this move. I especially enjoy the ending.

In the third of the Jack Ryan films, Harrison Ford reprises the role of Ryan, portraying the many facets of the character with consummate ease. He's moved onwards and upwards since the events of `Patriot Games', now a high ranking member of the CIA, giving briefings to the President.The murder of a friend of the President leads to a link with a Columbian drugs cartel. A chain of events is set in motion to avenge the murder, and Ryan is caught in the middle, in the role of innocent patsy. He must uncover the truth and act to not only save his own career, but to save the lives of some patriots and to expose sickening corruption in the heart of Government.With a strong central performance from Ford, and Willem Dafoe as the straight dealing Clarke, lots of big action set pieces and a well directed and tense search for the truth, this is an entertaining 2 hours and a highly recommended film.This edition presents the film in its proper widescreen, with a really good 5.1 surround sound. There is also a DTS soundtrack, which sounds really good. There is a decent set of extras, all in all this is a package well worth getting.

What can I say it is Harrison Ford it is a good film.

The film itself is great - the type of film that rarely gets made any more, with a steady pace, a sprinkling of action, and some good characters.The video transfer is a bit problematic. Generally it's acceptable and fairly good quality. However I was aware before purchasing that there'd be some DNR done on this film. It's true. At some points faces go slightly 'waxy', meaning stubble and other fine facial details disappear. It's not excessive but it's worth bearing in mind. The sound is very strong.There are some extras, including a 'making of' with some discussion of novel elements to the film for the time - such as the inclusion of computer hacking, which apparently hadn't really be done in film up to this point.All in all, an acceptable Blu-ray release so long as you go in knowing there's been a bit of fiddling with the image.

How can this movie be 25 years old? It looks totally fresh and of course real warships, choppers and the like don't age half as badly as their more recent CGI equivalents. But leaving all the action and intelligence tradecraft aside, this is a story about the White House and what happens when politicians start breaking the law. Everybody in Washington (and other capitals around the world) should be forced to watch James Earl Jones as Admiral Greer telling Jack Ryan: "You took an oath... and I don't mean to the President: you gave your word to his boss, you gave your word to the people of the United States."
