Not bad. Pretty intense ending.

An enjoyable, tense and sometimes stylish action film, but lacks the depth of characterization and technical proficiency that made Hunt a superior work.

It ain't exactly saving the world, but Patriot Games's earnestness belies its ultimate simplicity and smallness.

Kaplan vs. Kaplan

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.

Ford gives one of his most commanding performances outside of a Lucas production, establishing an action formula Ford would repeat...[Blu-Ray]
