“Itu0026#39;s almost 10 years now but I am still awed by the caliber of the film. McTiernan has made a moderately good book by Clancy into an outstanding political thriller.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe complexity of the film is particularly challenging. Clancy plots are notorious for beginning with several different threads that interweave somewhere in the book. Screenwriter Larry Ferguson takes apart those threads and models a film based on dual protagonists, Connery and Baldwin. The myriad of supporting actors (including current TN Sen. Fred Thompson) that appear on screen subsequently all have distinct but nonetheless crucial roles to the plot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBaldwin, in what is and will probably be his career best role ever, shines as the intelligent and patriotic Jack Ryan, a thinking manu0026#39;s hero. Connery lends incredible presence, as usual, to his interpretation of Ramius.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA pure masterpiece.”
