    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The attack on members of the Royal Family at the beginning of the film was inspired by a similar true-life attempt to kidnap Princess Anne on March 20, 1974. She was in her car when a man shot her guard and driver. She was subsequently helped by a passerby who attacked the criminal and saved her.
    • Goofs
      While it is true that the average British police officer does not carry a firearm, there is no way that a convicted high-profile IRA terrorist would be escorted without an armed guard.
    • Quotes

      Jack Ryan: I want to know where Sean Miller and Kevin O'Donnell are.

      Paddy O'Neil: [scoffs] Let me try and understand this. You want me to sell out my fellow lrishmen to you? I don't think you understand me at all.

      Jack Ryan: Oh, l think l do.

      Paddy O'Neil: Listen! l don't give a damn what they've done. But the day l sell out my own people is the day l'll put a bullet through my head.

      Jack Ryan: So, that's it then?

      Paddy O'Neil: That's it. You know on second thought maybe I won't have a drink with you

      Jack Ryan: Fine. I'll go home.

      Paddy O'Neil: Have a nice trip.

      Jack Ryan: I'll go home and call all the news stations! Invite them into my daughter's hospital ward. Give them what they want!

      Jack Ryan: [Gets in O'Neil's face] I don't give a shit whether you did it or not. But if you don't help me, I will put such a stranglehold on your gun money that your boys will be out in the streets throwing rocks! I will *fucking* destroy you! I will make it my mission in life!

    Terrific!, the best of the Tom Clancy adaptations!
    I have wanted to see this film for quite a while now. Ive seen The Hunt For Red October(1990), and Clear and Present Danger(1994), and Patriot Games is much better than them. Patriot Games is a great thinking man's thriller, although its much less difficult to follow than "Clear and Present Danger". It has plenty of suspense and action, and Ford's acting is terrific. I am so surprised that Patriot Games is often considered the worst Clancy film, and "The Hunt For Red October" considered the best, but I think it should be the other way around. Overall a great suspenseful movie. 9 out of 10
