Whether this is good or not will be left to Clancy-o-prices to mull over. With all the hype attendant to it, however, this particular Jack Ryan adventure is somewhat disappointing. Beneath its posturing as a techno-thriller, Clear and Present Danger is really little more than a high-class blast-and-bang festival. Its Sniper with more plot, a better cast, and an hour of ex...

Contemporary Literary Criticism J Alfred Prufrock
