This used to be a Top 10 hit for me but it has lost a little of its luster.........still a fantastic movie though. In the first installment of the Jack Ryan series it is filled with excitement and has a stellar cast. Alec Baldwin plays Ryan and although he is no Harrison Ford he is plenty better than Ben Affleck. He does a good job here and I've always thought he was a good movie lead and never understood why he didn't get more roles. As good as he was this is still Sean Connery's movie as he was on top of his game playing the Russian submarine captain. Scot Glenn, James Earl Jones and Sam Neill are great in supporting roles in this Cold War thriller. Even though it has dropped some over the years I don't figure it to drop out of my Top 100 ever and #39 overall is nothing to sneeze at........
