Production Year: 1992 - Action/Adventure - Director: Phillip Noyce - Original Language: English - Classification: 15 years and over - Starring:Harrison Ford, Anne Archer, Sean Bean, Richard Harris, Patrick Bergin, James Fox, Thora Birch
Advantages: Amazing plot, and Harrison Ford! Disadvantages: None
There aren't many modern day actors that can claim to have success in every single film they work in. However, in my opinion anyway, Harrison Ford is such an actor. Just look at him repertoire - Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Fugitive, Air Force One, Clear and Present Danger. I can't quite define what makes him such an enjoyable actor to watch - I suppose it must be that he is so flexible, and is so utterly convincing in his parts that you can't help ...

A cracker Review ofPatriot Games (Special Edition)by
dave27
Advantages: Ford, Bean, tense and taut Disadvantages: None
Okay, so what do you get for your money - well, there's Harrison Ford and Sean Bean for a start and what a start!
This little masterpiece involves an IRA terrorist (Bean) whose plot is foiled by an off duty American (Ford) who kells Bean's brother, which can only mean one thing - VENGEANCE and Bean makes a wonderful villain.
After that it's tensiuon and thrills all the way right until the climax in a dark house (where else) followed by a fight to ...
