I'm not a huge fan of Clancy's Jack Ryan movies, but this one is the best I've seen so far. I usually watch them when the come on TV, but I got the DVD for this and have enjoyed it every time I've watched it. Some have criticized its plot as being somewhat out of sync with current events, but I found it to be very plausible - perhaps TOO plausible for comfort.
I would make a few changes, however. Mainly, rather than reprise Jack Ryan as a younger man, why not simply introduce another character? The nuclear explosion scene is chilling in its realism.
