CIA
agent Jack Ryan is back, this time on vacation in England when he
stops an assassination attempt on a member of the Royal Family by a
band of Irish terrorists. In the scuffle, Ryan kills a young lad and
the terrorists vow revenge on Ryan and his family.
Nice action sequences and
credible acting puncuate this intelligent second entry in the Jack Ryan saga.
Ford replaces Alec Baldwin, who portrayed starred in the first film THE HUNT FOR
RED OCTOBER, and gives the role more believability and depth with convincing results.
Though the plot isn't the most interesting, nor the situations particularly as
dire as in the first flick, this definitely delivers all of the action and intrigue
you'd expect from a Clancy novel.
