Trivia:
Goofs:
Factual errors: After Petey is assigned his "special program" to break into Ritter's computer, he is seen typing a code that is non-functional. He is assigning constant values to a character variable that is 13 digits long, which is a base 10 number so large that a computer at that time could not possibly address it or store it in memory, and, furthermore, there is no known computer language that includes two equals signs as modals between the variable (e.g., "x") and the numeric constant - the assigned number; only one equals sign is used to assign variables, regardless of the computer language or platform. What is shown is all gibberish.

Harrison Ford returns as "Jack Ryan," star of the very well-done "Patriot Games," the film adaption off the best-selling Tom Clancy novels. Also returning are Anne Archer and James Earl Jones.
THE BAD - This isn't as intense, especially in the first half hour, as Patriot Games and the ending was a little disappointing with a action-scene credibility problem. Once again - it's getting to be a tired Hollywood theme - top U.S. government officials, going all the way to the President, are corrupt people, liars not to be trusted.
THE GOOD - It's nice to see Willem Dafoe finally play a good guy. The villains in here are deceptively interesting, actors such as Joaquim De Almeida, Harris Yulin and Henry Czerny and Miguel Sandoval - not big names but recognizable and good actors. The violence is not overdone in here and when the action does occur, the sound is terrific. The best action scene was shootout in the streets with snipers firing at cars below.
The positives are far more than the negatives, making this a solid thriller.
