The Sum of All Fears (2002)

Cast: Ben Affleck (Jack Ryan), Morgan Freeman (DCI William Cabot), James Cromwell (President Robert 'Bob' Fowler), Liev Schreiber (John Clark)
For complete cast, see IMDb's The Sum of All Fears page.

I really enjoyed this movie. I haven't read any of the books, but I always enjoy Jack Ryan on film. The only real issue I had with this movie was my own, not anything to do with the film. That problem is that it all seemed a bit too real. The special effects were very well done and the situations were very plausible. With 9/11 happening only 9 months before I saw The Sum of All Fears, it just got me thinking of all the people who died in that tragedy. This is actually a good statement about the movie, though. It was so well done that it looked very real.

The cast, special effects, and story are wonderful and I definitely recommend the latest in the Jack Ryan movies.

Grade: B
