If only Harrison Ford had been on board for this one.
A notch below ‘Clear and Present Danger’ because, although it is similarly complex, interesting, and “action-packed” it hasn’t aged QUITE as well, and because Alec Baldwin, while undeniably charming and talented in his own way, is no Harrison Ford.
But being the second-best film adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel featuring James Earl Jones isn’t a bad thing.

Grade: B+
7/19/12: Harrison Ford would be far too competent to get away with some of the things Alec Baldwin says/does in this. That’s a compliment to Alec…he’s a funny guy. Grade: A-
9/19/14: Too many blatant mistakes and cliche moments. Grade: B+
