At a quick glance - and judging from the mediocre 70% overall rating on here - this movie was not well received. However, I found it very enjoyable, even though a bit dated. (Of course, at my age, I'm getting to where I _prefer_ the "dated" movies as all the current stuff is mostly just tripe and rehashed vomitous.) Maybe I'm getting jaded by watching so many movies in the Horror genre here of late, and something that is completely different seems to bring a breath of fresh air. There were, yes, a few scenes that were eye-rollable but for the most part, it was an enjoyable, suspenseful, cat-and-mouse political thriller. I've only read a handful of the Tom Clancy novels (and it's been awhile) so I'm not one of those _"It didn't mirror the novel word-for-word so it blows!"_ types. While I almost always prefer a movie that sticks close to the original story, I'm also wise enough to know you can't take a novel the length or breadth of one of Clancy's (or Stephen King's) and expect to compact it into a 120-minutes-or-less screen adaptation. With that said, maybe I'm a bit more forgiving than those who are so heavily criticizing this film but I still found it enjoyable and gripping enough to grab and KEEP my attention throughout. Would I watch it again? Absolutely. In spite of what everyone else is ranting about on here, this was a good film, definitely worth watching.
