Danger is just an overblown attempt to latch onto already-waning "Just Say No" sentiment in the U.S. (it was released in 1994). No dice.

The uneven flow is as likely to lead to a snoozing viewer as to one on the edge of their seat.

Best of Ford's Jack Ryan movies: taut and tough.

Clear and Present Danger isn't quite up to the very high standard set by The Hunt for Red October, but it's a genuine cut above Patriot Games.

For what it is, Clear and Present Danger is fun to sit through.

A solid government thriller, but often hard to follow. Lots of talking, but a satisfying climax.
