RE: Clear and Present Danger (film): In the present time it is clearly boring

in #movies5 years ago

I saw Patriot Games and I thought that was fantastic. I never got around to watching this one though. Clancy has always had the ability to go where a lot of other writers at the time didn't want to go. Where most books would have the hero stopping the nuclear bomb from going off, he actually let it happened. Stuff like that is what really makes him stand out to me. My wife and I have been enjoying the show on Amazon Prime with Jim from The Office as Jack Ryan.

Sort:  

hmmm, since i don't have Amazon Prime i did not know such a show existed. It must be strange having Jim play a serious role but he has been dabbling in that sort of role in films probably because he doesn't want to be typecast as "Jim" forever.

It is weird seeing him like that at first, but I think he ended up doing a really good job in the first season. Season 2 was just released at the beginning of November but we haven't started it yet. In the previews it looks like he has more action scenes which might be a little weird. We will see...

well he was in that film where the mutants that have taken over the planet had no eyes but super-sonic hearing and he did a good job in that. It was the only serious role i have ever seen him in though.

I didn't see that one but I think he directed it too. We need to find a way to get you access to Amazon Prime! :)

just tell me the names of the good shows. we all have our ways and while i don't like to advertise it, you know how to get stuff too i am sure.

Sneaky Pete is pretty good though we have kind of been hit or miss with season 2. Homecoming was pretty decent and I have heard The Man in the High Castle is fantastic but I haven't started watching it yet.
