Still hate the departure from the book at the end, but otherwise a solid effort.

Never put together that Han Solo and Darth Vader were in the movie together.

Most of the Clancy movies were shitty PC adaptations

Red Oktober was solid though.

Theres much there to like about Patriot games, but It's just missing something. I think maybe because Sean Bean's character was a raving psycho and made far too many stupid, irrational decisions for a high up IRA terrorist.

Just finished the book. Made the movie a shell of itself.

ETA: even though I do like the storyline with jack killing sean’s brother.

This was one of my main go to vhs movie when I was home sick from school.
I still love it, and watch it once every winter. Makes me feel good.

Lol what? Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger were awesome. Sum of All Fears sucked. I keep forgetting the Jack Ryan film with Chris Pine exists.
