Movie Reviews of Clear and Present Danger (Special Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Clear and Present Danger
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start off by saying simply: Clear and Present Danger is a really engrossing film. Starring Harrison Ford as CIA agent Jack Ryan and featuring well-known actors such as James Earl Jones and Willem Dafoe, CaPD is basically about a secret and illegal military campaign against the Cali cartel in Colombia, and the political strife that surrounds it.
The film opens with a Coast Guard vessel boarding a yacht in the Gulf of Mexico, which they've discovered to have been commandeered by Panamanian drug runners and its original crew of Americans murdered. As it turns out, one of the victims on the boat was a good, no, a LIFELONG friend of the President of the US. CIA agent Ryan (Ford) comes up with a theory that the vessel was the target of retribution by Ernesto Escobedo, a Colombian drug kingpin. It seems the president's friend had been laundering money in partnership with the drug cartel, and when the money stopped rolling in, the cartel got pissed, to put it blunty. So, CIA chief Ritter (Henry Czerny) obtains secret authorization to insert a team of Special Forces to take revenge on the cartel. The team is lead by Clark (Dafoe), who promptly get down to Colombia and start kicking cartel butt. However, after Ryan discovers the disturbing truth regarding the whole issue, the troops are left stranded, and Ryan is in danger of losing his entire career. Fortunately, with some incriminating evidence and help from Clark, he is able to rescue the American commandos, take down the leadership of the cartel and a Cuban intelligence agent who helped create the whole mess, and ends up keeping his honor and integrity by testifying to the Senate about the President's and CIA's illegal actions.
The film is well-acted and features believable characters, not to mention a complex and intriguing plot and great action scenes and effects. Definitely worth the watch, even if you're not a fan of Clancy. Having seen the film but not read the book, it's definitely on my library list now. Two thumbs up.
Summary of Clear and Present Danger (Special Collector's Edition)
CIA agent Jack Ryan's assignment is to investigate the murder of one of the President's friends, a prominent U.S. businessman with secret ties to Colombian drug cartels.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 6-MAY-2003
Media Type: DVD
The third installment in the cinematic incarnation of Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan and the second starring Harrison Ford, this follow-up to Patriot Games is a more complex, rewarding, and bolder film than its predecessor. Ford returns as Ryan, this time embroiled in a failed White House bid to wipe out a Colombian drug cartel and cover up the mess. The script, by Clancy and John Milius (Red Dawn), has an air of true adventure about it as Ryan places himself in harm's way to extract covert soldiers abandoned in a Latin American jungle. There are a couple of remarkable set pieces expertly handled by Patriot Games director Phillip Noyce, especially a shocking scene involving an ambush on Ryan's car in an alley. The supporting cast is superb, including Willem Dafoe as the soldiers' leader, Henry Czerny as Ryan's enemy at the CIA, Joaquim de Almeida as a smooth-talking villain, Ann Magnuson as an unwitting confederate in international crime, and James Earl Jones as Ryan's dying boss. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, theatrical trailer, closed captioning, optional French soundtrack, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh
