Clear and present danger

"Clear and present danger"

Watched English movie "Clear and present danger". This movie is directed by Phillip Boyce and outs a Tom Clancy story. Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan, James Earl Jones as Admiral Greer, William Dafoe as John Clark,  Joaquin de Almeida as Felix Cortez and Miguel Sandoval as Ernesto Escobedo are cast in main roles. 

A friend of US President is dead. Investigating reveal that he was connected to Columbian drug cartel. President asks NSA to destroy the Columbian using illegal resources. Jack Ryan becomes acting Deputy Director of intelligence at CIA after his boss is detected with cancer. Others in CIA carry out the illegal operations without knowledge of Jack. US confiscated 650 million $ drug money. Jack is attacked. There's visits Columbia. There is a traitor in Columbians. Someone from CIA leaks information.

How will Columbians react? Is there a traitor? What can Jack Ryan do? How high will the repercussions go?

This is a thriller so obviously it has a lot of action and fight scenes. Audience can see the drug empire and it's operation. Columbia is scenic. 

Harrison Ford plays Jack Ryan but he looks lost for most part of the film. His acting is also nothing to write about in first half. William Dafoe does well.

This is an old movie. So CIA had CRT monitors and DOS computers. Appears ancient,  but we used it not long ago. 

This movie is based on Tom Clancy's book. Since I have not read that book,  can't say how faithful the director sass to the story. 

 Not a must watch.
