I watched this movie last night and I absolutely loved it. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones both killed it. The pacing was perfect and intense. It was all around an amazing film. I wondered why it didn’t win best picture that year until I saw who did win it.

I first saw this in the mid 90s when I was way too young to browse my brothers VHS tapes that he had accumulated over a few years of taping every movie tuesday. Somehow, the three that I really remember and loved were all Harrison Ford movies:

The Fugitive
Patriot Games
Blade Runner

Don't forget Clear and Present Danger.

Harrison Ford was the best Jack Ryan. It's an often overlooked part of his career

I saw Patriot Games before I read any of those books, so I had Harrison Ford as the character already in my mind.

Harrison Ford was the best Jack Ryan.

Oof... I have to hand this one to Alec Baldwin, but that's more for the writing than actual acting, Ford in that one would have been interesting.

I had only ever seen Ford in blade runner, Indy, and Star Wars so this was a great change of pace
