Patriot Games (DVD 2000)

Patriot Games is one of a series of stories about a CIA agent, Jack Ryan.
Sadly, only two were portrayed by Harrison Ford, and none of the films have been made in order.
This one revolves around Jack Ryan disrupting an IRA attack, killing one of them, and causing another, played by Sean Bean, to be captured. When he escapes, he comes after Ryan!
Good action movie.

‘Not for honour, not for country, for his wife and child’. Adapted from Tom Clancy’s best seller book comes the move ‘Patriot Games’. With A-list starts such as Harrison Ford who starts as Jack Ryan, this explosive thriller sees Ryan, former CIA analyst on holiday with his wife and daughter in London.

As he meets his family outside Buckingham Palace (where else of course) he becomes involved in an assassination attempt on a member of the Royal Family; as only an ex-CIA Patriot can. Ryan helps thwart the assailants and becomes a national hero. The subsequent knighthood however, comes at a price which places him and his family firmly in the sights of the terrorists.

Anyone who is a fan of Clancy’s work will love this film. Anyone who is not will still find it enjoyable. If only to see what Samuel L Jackson looks like in a Navy Uniform? The film is well paced and easy to follow. It’s a sound story with top notch acting.

The film was produced in 1992 and the DVD was released in 2000.

Great movie , old classic that is hard to find in Mint Condition,,,EBay is the place to get good old classics like this,,,Harrison Ford at his Best.

Joanne

a great film with some top acting from sean bean and harrison ford.it contains a good story plot and isnt really far fetched like some films get.

Bought it as part of my Sean Bean collection - one of the better ones- keeps you on the edge of your seat - if you like drama, suspence. Harrison Ford and Sean Bean - go for it - super film can watch it again and again.

This item was bid for on the request of my brother. The film was for him and he is very pleased with the whole transaction. He got it for a good price, it arrived well packaged and prompt. Thanks Helen
