When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him.

There's nothing like watching people reading from screens as a riveting suspenseful ending to a film (please see sarcasm). Alec Baldwin continues to be the best Jack Ryan. I never bought into the idea that Liev Schreiber as John Clark.

A nearly perfect thriller with one huge downside and absurdity in the form of an absolutely unbelievable part of the plot: a no-body in the form of a lowly CIA analyst cannot only convince a high-ranking US military person to let him communicate with the Russian president (during the midst of the beginning of a nuclear war between the USA and Russia nota bene (!)) , no, he can even convince the president to abort further nuclear attacks on the USA. Absolutely rubbish and I will never understand what director Phil Robinson and his colleagues where think when coming up with this particular aspect of the plot!

My rating for “The Sum of All Fears” is the result of the sum of two very different halves of the movie. While the first hour consists of a lot of boring worldbuilding in which it is far too obvious that Ben Affleck was simply not the right choice for the character of Jack Ryan, the movie picks up speed considerably after an explosive middle section. Accordingly, the second half offers plenty of suspense and is gripping right to the end. If it hadn't been for the 60 minutes of boredom at the start, “The Sum of All Fears” could have been a genuinely good thriller, but as it is, it's just pure mediocrity.

Some good some bad here. Improvements over the prior movies is that Harrison Ford is no longer Jack Ryan. He was at LEAST 15 years too old to be playing the part. Affleck was an improvement. Live Schreiber was so much better as John Clark than Willem DeFoe. 1000X. If you read the books you already know that. Some of the changes they make from the book do not make sense. Leaving out entire plot lines. I think Clancy just sold them a list of character names and said a nuke weapon got lost a long time ago and now it came home to blow up a football game.

They really messed up the Ryan movie franchise with this one.

I think this also is the movie that made me dislike Affleck. But that´s not the reason for the mess up. By choosing Affleck to play Ryan and since he´s obviously much younger than Harison Ford, they needed to place the story before More

For once, Morgan Freeman isn't playing the US President in this rather run of the mill, political apocalypse film. He's actually the CIA director "Cabot" who is working with an analyst "Jack Ryan" (Ben Affleck) to try and thwart a cunning plan to detonate a recently stolen nuclear explosive in the U More

At a quick glance - and judging from the mediocre 70% overall rating on here - this movie was not well received. However, I found it very enjoyable, even though a bit dated. (Of course, at my age, I'm getting to where I _prefer_ the "dated" movies as all the current stuff is mostly just tripe and re More

As a movie, it is OK, actually one of Afflec's better efforts. However, apparently the writer of the screenplay read a different book than I did, because "The Sum Of All Fears", the movie, had about 3 things in common with the book: The name, the main characters, and the fact that it involved nucle More
