Patriot Games Special Edition [DVD]

Excellent

Great movie, excellent 4K quality. I recommend and greet you.

Well same thinsg with every Calncy film made so far, when they stray away from the book, they cause themselves problems.Big problem wiht this film is that because they filmed HFRO first and chronologically PG is the first Ryan story, they decided to make it seem like HFRO happened before i.e. Jack left theCIA and is encouraged back by Greer rather than recruited for first time like it happens in the book, and due to ths Harrison Ford was a crazy choice for Ryan if you were starting with this story.Dont get me wrong, if they had started filming these in the mid 80's (not possible I know) then Ford would be great an he is the best Ryan I have seen on film without a doubt and Baldwin just in 2nd , lets ignore the Fleck's wooden performance on SOAF shall we.Its just that Ryan in PG is supposed to be a relatively young man, starting out on his career in CIA i.e the subject matter here pushes him towards the agency initially.They should start again with PG as the first of a series in chronological order, set in the correct time period with a younger actor so they can take the series forward with a returning cast such as was done with Harry Potter. Imagine the same actors continually growing older and playing Ryan and his Family, Murray, Ritter, Moore, Greer, Shaw, Robbi Jackson, Clark etc, thts what would do these books justice.However Paramount simply tried a reeboot with a young Ryan in SOAF, a book set well into Ryans agency career when he is in fact the Deputy director of CIA, so the rehash in the movie was awful.Lets hope for a proper reboot sometimeThis film as a stand alone though is a fantastic movie if you are not that into the Ryan books and movies saga. I saw it itially before reading any of the books and was immediately impressed along with THFRO these are the 2 best movies about Jack Ryan.Unfortunatley CAPD was not quite as good and SOAF was simply awful.I have it and would recommend to anyone.

Tom Clancy & Harrison Ford. Oh yeah & throw in Sean Bean as an angry Irishman. Should be enough key ingredients for anyone.

Good storyline

Excellent film

Love the film had it on dvd back in the day. Unfortunately the 4k transfer isn't very good but in a way its not the sort of film that would benefit from the 4k platformOnly one disc and no slip cover so wish I'd waited for it to come down in price

A film Ive watched several times. This time I picked up soo much more. the film has made me think into a few things. revenge. And going on a personal mission. The price is too high with too many lives lost. Betrayal. From those you least expect too!! When I say betrayal. I mean selling out your own. Knowingly!! And by your own free will. (I.e. Without the use of any additional measures be it drugs chemicals torture brain washing etc etc!!!). without regard for the consequences. to line your own Pocket!!! (I do not mean paid undercover covert (I don't know correct name). to actually prevent lives being lost of course)But one of the strongest messages to me was respect amongst enemies.It actually reminded me of the film Troy in a way

It’s nice to buy a Blu-ray that is actually a Blu-ray. so many reviews talking about how great the movie is not the quality, blue rays sometimes are hit or mess. Saying there 1080p ultra Blu-ray come in a blu case or black 4k case but they’re grainy and blurry, distorted and look like a bad vhs transfer. Hopefully this review goes under the right patriot games Blu-ray so I put up a picture of it and it’s sold by quick clix. And yes I agree patriot games is a great movie

I enjoy his jack Ryan films had to get

Als der CIA-Analyst Jack Ryan ein Attentat der IRA vereitelt, sinnt eine abtrünnige Fraktion auf ihn und seine Familie auf Rache aus.Für mich die beste Jack Ryan Verfilmung (ohne je die Clancy Bücher gelesen zu haben). Der Unterschied zu den anderen Filmen ist, dass sich hier alles auf einer persönlichen Ebene abspielt und die Charaktere etwas mehr Tiefe bekommen. Ryans Antagonist, klasse gespielt von Sean Bean, ist zu jeder Zeit eine unentwegte Bedrohung, der sich auf seine Rache regelrecht festgebissen hat. Regisseur Philip Noyce (Salt, The Saint, Das Kartell, Der Knochenjäger) versteht sein Handwerk und liefert einen realistischen und bedrohlichen Thriller ab, dessen Spannungsschraube stetig angezogen wird und mit Harrison Ford einfach perfekt besetzt wurde.Obendrauf gibts noch mit James Horner (Avatar, Titanic, Apollo 13, Aliens) einen meiner Lieblingskomponisten aufs Ohr und fertig ist der harte Agenten-Thriller, bei der mal nicht ein Präsident oder eine Nation gerettet werden muss, sondern die eigene Familie.Das 4K UHD Bild ist dank Dolby Vision schön strahlend, aber dennoch eine Nuance dunkler als die Blu Ray. Demzufolge gibt es einen satten Schwarzwert, der nur in ganz dunklen Szenen Details vermissen lässt. Farben kommen natürlich daher und bieten tolle Farbverläufe. Auch hier ist es die Farbe Rot (Sallys Mantel), die sehr schön zur Geltung kommt. Neutrale Flächen können wegen des feinen Filmkorns, das mal mehr und mal weniger in Erscheinung tritt, etwas wuseln, hält sich aber in Grenzen.Details gibts mehr als auf der Blu Ray zu sehen, eine Offenbarung ist diese UHD aber auch wieder nicht. Für mich hat sich das Upgrade eines klasse Films definitiv gelohnt, denn schöner war das Bild noch nie.Der Dolby Digital 5.1 Ton ist solide, bietet eine präzise Dialogwiedergabe, nette Surroundeffekte und hin und wieder einen ordentlichen Subwoofer Einsatz.Vielen lieben Dank fürs Durchlesen. Hoffentlich war die mein kurzes Review nützlich. :)

I'm a keen fan of Harrison Ford movies and especially his role as Jack Ryan. Great entertainment.

If you liked the Hunt For Red October with Alec Baldwin then you will love this movie in the continuing stories of CIA Analyst Jack Ryan starring Harrison Ford. Ford doesn't miss a step filling in from where Alec Baldwin left the movie franchise.
