Review of Patriot Games (1992) by Paco B — 09 Mar 2012
Coming from someone who's never read the Jack Ryan books I am going to say that I do prefer Alec Baldwin in the role (Despite the fact that I am much more of a Harrison Ford fan and think he does a fine job, and I really would've liked to have seen how Baldwin would have done in some more go's as the character) and HUNT FOR REC OCTOBER as a film.
Despite all that though this really is another great film. The one thing it does have on RED OCTOBER is its villain Sean Miller played by Sean Bean. He's interesting in how he's somewhat sympathetic given that his motivation is to avenge the death of his younger brother, but he does such terrible things in trying to get his revenge (such as going after Ryan's young daughter) that you cannot help but hate him as well.
He really was the standout character in this one to me.
