Patriot Games (DVD) ... / DVD released 06 November, 2000 at Paramount Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / Let's see--he has been Han Solo in three films and Indiana Jones in three more. So why shouldn't Harrison Ford take on a new continuing character in Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan? In this film, directed by Phillip Noyce, Ford picked up the baton when Alec Baldwin, who played Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, opted for a Broadway role instead. In this film, Ryan and his family are on vacation when Ryan saves a member of the British royal family from attack by Irish terrorists. The next thing he knows, the Ryan clan has been targeted by the same terrorists, who invade his Maryland home. The film can't shed all of Clancy's lumbering prose, or his techno-dweeb fascination with spy satellites and the like. But no one is better than Ford at righteous heroism--and Sean Bean makes a suitably snakey villain. --Marshall Fine

Newest Review: ... with no visible marks on the film's print. The colours don't look as bright as they should do in certain scenes in my opinion ... more

 ... however this is probably nitpicking on my part. This is also a huge improvement over the picture quality on Hunt for Red October so a thumbs up from me. Thee Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack is very good. With several large explosions giving the sub woofer a good workout and great use of the rear channels a lively and involving soundstage is created. Dialogue is crisp and doesn't stray and all in all a very good soundtrack. I do, however, have a large problem with the score. Composed by James Horner, of Titanic, Bra...more

Patriot Games sees Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan return to the screen fresh from the hit movie Hunt for Red October. This time Ryan, who is played by Harrison Ford in this film, breaks up an assassination attempt on a member of the British Royal family whilst on vacation in London. During the attempt Ryan kills one of the terrorists, the younger brother of Sean Miller played by Sean Bean. The Irish terrorist group behind the attack don't take kindly to this and fuelled by Sean Miller's thirst for revenge they target Ryan and his family. Of course Jack Ryan isn't going to take this lying down so rejoins the CIA to track down the terrorist group for the sake of his ...

This is a good quality action/thriller type of film and should appeal to most people. The basic plot at time is original but there are a few flaws. The basic plot follows Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) a CIA agent. Whilst on holiday he prevents an assassination attempt upon the royal family a kills one of the assassins, he happens to be the brother of a nasty Irishman (Sean Bean) who takes up a vendetta against Ryan and his family. For the rest of the film Bean and his group attempt to harm his family and basically there is room for a few close shaves before a powerful ending where Bean lays siege to Ryan’s home. The overall plot is good and as you’d ...
