    Good movie but it’s extremely unrealistic. In real life, Laura Loomer would’ve had Jack Ryan fired before he ever found out about the illegal military activity.

    The live-action ‘JUST CAUSE’ movie is moving forward with Aaron Rabin (‘Jack Ryan’) writing the script. Angel Manuel Soto (‘Blue Beetle’) is already set to direct. (Source: thewrap.com/aaron-rabin-just-cause-video-game-adaptation-universal/)

    i'm watching the most recent Jack Ryan movie cuz this is my form of atonement for whatever sins i've decided i committed recently and i'm losing my mind at how inscrutable the intended audience for this is. every time it introduces a thing for a specific audience it hard counters it 30 mins later

    The first 3 Jack Ryan movies are a trip. • "Red October" is an ensemble masterpiece • "Patriot Games" is extremely solid and Ryan is now played by one of the biggest movie stars of all time, Noyce replaces McTiernan • "Clear/Present Danger" is even better, Noyce at the helm again and the rest

    I will die on the hill, and take as many of my attackers with me as I can, that Harrison Ford was a terrible, terribly cast Jack Ryan and that Patriot Games a is a terrible adaptation of the book and Clear and Present Danger is actually worse. The Hunt is the only good Clancy movie.

    One thing I love about THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER is that Jack Ryan — as depicted in that movie, anyway — isn’t a superhero. He’s a desk jockey caught up in something way over his head, and he’s terrified out of his wits, but he jumps in to do it because there isn’t anyone else. Love that.

    Scott Glenn - 📽️ The Hunt for Red October (John McTiernan, 1990) For all the outsized fun of Russian-ish Sean Connery and a game Alec Baldwin (my favourite Jack Ryan), I think Glenn wins the movie. You can’t get enough of him snarling jargon in a thriller, complete with a heroic strategic triumph.

    The movie was so far from the book that I had a hard time watching it, but he did play a decent one. I guess Jack Ryan is like James Bond - may as well be a callsign, many can play him in different ways while remaining consistent to some degree as a character.
