The second in what looks like becoming the 'Jack Ryan' catalogue of films sees a change of director and leading star. Phil Noyce takes the helm and Harrison Ford (who has reportedly signed a package deal) slips into the role of CIA analyst Ryan, after Alec Baldwin apparently asked for too much to reprise the part.
"Patriot Games" finds Ryan's family threatened by an Irish terrorist whose brother Jack killed. Performances are solid in a film which develops into an intriguing work. The plot holds its own until the very end when Phil Noyce opts for a predictable audience pleasing finale which is disappointing.
