Clear and Present Danger (1994)

My first non-documentary 10/10 for the year comes from the second Tom Clancy book about Jack Ryan starring Harrison Ford. Why was this better than Patriot Games 9/10? Because there wasn't an incredibly fake boat chase scene.

Jack Ryan is back, this time he has to clean up a mess with a drug cartel in Columbia that is about to tarnish his name. When a president's friend is killed by the cartel he seeks revenge. Little does he know that his friend was working for the cartel until he started embezzling from them. When the president learns that his friend has a large amount of money in an off shore account he starts a little war to acquire these funds he wants to make campaign money. He then decides to hire American troops to go on a secret mission with the money Jack Ryan's got from congress, then abandons them when he gets what he wants. Ryan is forced to go to Columbia with the help of John Clark [Willem Dafoe] to clean up the mess.

So how did it get such a high rating from me. Quite simply, it was 2 and a half hours and I didn't want it to be over when the credits rolled. It really doesn't get much better than Clancy and Ford, if you like action movies you should really watch the Jack Ryan series if you haven't already.

Vote: 10/10
