Sort by: Reviews Review created: 19/02/09 by: ‘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 (Played by James FOX); 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 first released in 2000.

It is based on an IRA attempt to kill a high ranking member of the British Royal Family. Harrison Ford plays the main character(Jack Ryan) who is on a visit to London with his wife and daughter when they witness first hand the assassination attempt on HRH Prince of Wales (Edward Fox. The IRA having being foiled by Harrison Ford's intervention lose one of their key men, his grieving younger brother then tracks Ford back to the USA where he is working for the CIA and attempts to kill him. Action packed and with many twists this is an excellent movie I think that Tom Clancy writes very good thriller books and was pleased that this film relects his work so well.
