Reviews
The film's dominant motif is that of revenge. In a key scene, the wife tells her husband (Harrison Ford): You get him. I don't care what you have to do, just get him." From that point on, the film becomes the story of a nuclear family in imminent danger.
É sempre bom ver um filme de ação que se preocupa em desenvolver seus personagens.
It ain't exactly saving the world, but Patriot Games's earnestness belies its ultimate simplicity and smallness.
Enjoyable thriller that has Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) going head to head with terrorists.
