Wow. As a violinist, I had the privilege of performing on the score for this film and working with composer James Horner. The very first cue we recorded was for the convoy ambush scene and OMG it was an amazing experience. Thanks so much for sharing!
The best line I ever heard about James Horner was the score for Stealing the Enterprise in Star Trek III. It was this: Only James Horner can make a scene that is nothing more than backing out of a garage edge of your seat exciting.
Nice to see a fellow alum from Juilliard no doubt also violin
@jason raley I didn’t realize the music for ST 3 was Horner as well. Great score!
I love your playing, sir. You do a remarkable Sonata No. 3 in F Major!
You know that Horner used Commando main theme score in this scene?
"Is there really corruption like this?" "I just want somebody to be held accountable."
Oh, honey...
I thought the exact same thing. Having been in that system I saw it for what it was. It is interesting to see people react like Cassie because it lets me know that there are still innocent people out there.
There's corruption like this. And honor like this. Good. Evil. And everything along the spectrum.
The People of This Country are aware, but too many are not and enable the corruption while believing they're a part of the honorable.
Complexity at it's highest and finest
"Is this what government is really like? Lies and corduption??"
I almost died laughing at that part.
Please nobody tell her! The world would be boring without Cassies!!
Oh sweet summer child.
Right? It makes me smile remembering that people are out there who do not know. I find it reassuring.
The ambush in the alley is the greatest action scene that no one ever talks about. The whole buildup is incredible, and then you somehow truly feel like Jack could really die here because everything feels so real.
yes! when i saw that in the theater, my jaw hit the ground. and then it stayed there for about 3 more hours. i'd never seen a scene like that.
That scene and the scene of Greer's funeral intercut with the attack on Clark's men. Those are two absolutely bravura sequences.
I was very irritated that Jack is the only person who survived. It made it feel like he had plot armor.
It was a precursor to the shower room scene in Michael Bay’s The Rock. I call it the “kill the good guys to show the audience how bad the bad guys really are” scene.
They also copy it in an episode of Narcos.
It is part of tactics training.
“Re-ces-ka-taco” and “Agh! You’re an analyst!” are the real gems of this reaction video. Never change, Cassie. We love the heck out of ya.
I laughed so hard at both of those comments.
This is sort of random but another reason I love this channel; anyone else love how Cassie puts "Popcorn in Bed" in the font of whatever movie she is reacting to? Just think it's a nice touch.
Operation: Retactisy... Retacti-Saur...Velociraptor-Saur...
No wait that's a different franchise 😉
😄😄😄
Was just gonna say :D ... but, he's also a Marine. So, definitely trained.
"Just an analyst" reminds me of Jeremy Renner in the M:I films
I think she honestly has the best editor I’ve seen of the reaction channels I know of. Knows the right moments to include/exclude and just enough playfulness.
Props to the editor. Good job
She and the New Zealand Girl should do a collab on military movies
This genre is called "technothriller". Tom Clancy was one of the pioneers of the genre in the 80s, along with Michael Crichton.
But Clancy is still the only one to scare the hell out of both Langley and Dzerzhinsky Square simultaneously. Had them both running around looking for leaks after Red October.
Political-techno-thriller
@@thunderchaser2042 And Clancy flew a plane into an American building long before 9/11. In this movie when Cassie mentions he could do that job when referring to POTUS, ironically Jack Ryan did become President.
@@matthook5932 So did Harrison Ford ;)
@@matthook5932 That's why I call Debt of Honor and Executive Orders basically one massive novel. EO literally takes up five minutes after DoH ends.
What amazes me is that you watch all those classic movies we've already seen from the bottom of your heart. Just as we should watch movies nowadays. No overthinking, no 'what was back then' stuff. Just how you experience the movie as you see it, with all its emotions. If it's bad ratings or good, nevermind, don't care about public opinion. Just watch it and feel it. That's special about your reactions and it reminds me how we all should watch movies. Thank you very much!
nicely said. Cassie's the best
Yes,no biasing nor b.s.'ing,just pure enjoyment and very respectful,such nice lady.
And if I may add, I can’t say I’ve seen any other reactor so caught up in the suspense that she watched a section in clenched fist unawares. Genuine.
@@grandpabrogan Genuine was the word me as a non native english speaker was looking for. thanks ;)
All the "reciprocity" attempts made me giggle. Thank you.
As someone from Finland, I thought just couple of weeks ago "Reciprocity, damn that's a hard word to learn". Glad to see that even native speakers struggle with words
Reciprocity is my policy in life.. Treat them how they treat me..
As I've mentioned before, "Air Force 1" is a kind of unofficial finale to the Harrison Ford Ryanverse movies. Definitely worth a watch/reaction.
The first scene in Air Force One has always been so good for me watching it as kid.
Pale comparison to Tom Clancy legacy.
@@Ghost7511 the early books, maybe. The later got too convoluted.
True
Pretty true, because although Air Force one isn't in the Ryanverse, it's still is a plausible story that would happen to Jack Ryan once he became president (Which he does in the Tom Clancy time line) i.e. Air Force one getting taken over and what not, So Air Force one might as well be an unofficial Tom clancreation
The president’s salary is $400K. Jack Ryan’s wife was an eye surgeon, so there’s a good chance she made more than that.
And it was only $200K until the 2000s, either Bush or Obama was the first to be paid $400K.
A few books after this Jack becomes the president, and Kathy did make more than Jack did.
Somehow politicians always seem to accumulate much more wealth than their salaries indicate they should have.
The “guy you recognize from somewhere and don’t trust” is Ethan Hunt’s boss, Kittridge, from the first Mission Impossible.
And in that scene in the office where you didn’t know what he was talking about, he was basically saying to the other guy, “what the President has told you and I to do is illegal. If this secret war against the cartel ever comes to light, the president will be voted out of office in the next election, but he won’t get arrested for it because he’s the president, and even if he was arrested, the next president will issue him a pardon to win political points with this president’s supporters. You won’t be arrested, because you’re the director of the CIA, and you know too many secrets. I, on the other hand, could get arrested because I’m easily replaceable, so I want to make sure that you are as guilty as I am in case this all goes horribly wrong. On the other hand, if this goes right, I want a share of the credit.”
TL;DR: he knows what he’s about to do is wrong, but he’s going to do it anyway, and he wants to be protected from going to jail.
The end result was NOT that the President would be defeated in the next election, it was an Impeachment issue, which is why Jack Ryan testified in the Senate Oversight Committee.
We should get Legal Eagle's reaction to the Tom Clancy movies...
Cutter was national security advisor. Ritter was CIA deputy director (operations). Ryan was CIA acting deputy director (intelligence).
Cassie Crimson Tide is an amazing movie that you need to put on your list. Stars Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. Hunt for red October vibes but totally different set of problems you’ll understand when you see the movie you will not regret
Solid movie.
👆This!

DEW IT!!
One of the most ridiculous movies ever made.
For a "sort-of-sequel" to this movie, I would recommend "Air Force One". It stars Harrison Ford as the US President (which Jack Ryan actually becomes in the novels) with Glenn Close as the Vice President and Gary Oldman as the main villain. As the title suggests, it takes place aboard the world-famous Boeing 747.
Yeah, I always imagine President James Marshall, is actually President Jack Ryan...it just works.
@@DFW031470 pretty much
Best Harrison Ford movie ever! (Outside the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies, of course.)
Thomas Leo Clancy Jr. (April 12, 1947 - October 1, 2013) was an American novelist. He is best known for his technically detailed espionage and military-science storylines set during and after the Cold War. Seventeen of his novels have been bestsellers and more than 100 million copies of his books have been sold.[1] His name was also used on movie scripts written by ghostwriters, nonfiction books on military subjects occasionally with co-authors, and video games. He was a part-owner of his hometown Major League Baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles of the American League, and vice-chairman of their community activities and public affairs committees.
Originally an insurance agent, his literary career began in 1984 when he sold his first military thriller novel The Hunt for Red October for $5,000 published by the small academic Naval Institute Press of Annapolis, Maryland.[1][2] His works The Hunt for Red October (1984), Patriot Games (1987), Clear and Present Danger (1989), and The Sum of All Fears (1991) have been turned into commercially successful films. Tom Clancy's works also inspired games such as the Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, The Division, and Splinter Cell series. Since Clancy's death in 2013,[3] the Jack Ryan series has been continued by his family estate through a series of authors.
Have you read Debt of Honor?
I think Dad has a couple of his books.
@@genghisgalahad8465 sadly, no... Is it good?
@@brigidtheirish I think many dads do. 😆
@@patrickskramstad1485 Probably! Especially dads who lived through the Cold War.😁
This movie made a printer the center of conflict…..great script, directing, and performances.
Cassie struggling to say "reciprocity" is too damn cute! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yes Cas ... that's the real world :(
We are all expendable in the eyes of the government :/
Always the most excited when it's a Harrison Ford movie. Please watch "Witness" with your sister.
Of all his films, yes, Witness may possibly be one of the best projects he has done. I agree.
Oh, yeah. Witness is one of his best. Cassie will LOOOOOVVVE Witness.
Yup yup ... Good movie
Great call…
Yes!!!! Such an awesome movie! An underrated movie at this time but a massive hit when it came out.
I love that Cassi continues to be surprised by the bad actions of bad people.
And I hope she never changes, because if the world had more people like her in it, for me the world would be a better place.
@@jenspfennig9226
100% agreed.
She might be naive. She might even be dead wrong.
But she is a much happier person than I am. I can tell.
I would take her imaginary world over my real one, any day.
I really envy that level of naïveté. I wish I wasn’t such a pessimist about the government and people in charge, but I’ve seen too much over the years.
my favorite CIA movie is "3 Days of the Condor". "The Good Shepherd" and "Spy Game" are pretty good, too!
Loved 3 Days of the Condor!
Spy Game is absolutely brilliant. it put a genius level mind and operative on display as he finessed events and appearances in order to work both sides of a situation for an outcome no one would tolerate. it was known as an excellent movie back then, yet still seemed to fly under the radar for most people. a shame...
Spy Game is soooo under rated! Two other great, but underrated, movies with Robert Redford are Sneakers, and The Last Castle!! Worth a watch!
The Good Shepherd for me it's unique as it was directed by Robert DeNiro.
@@CannonRaw The Recruit is another great CIA movie with Al Pacino, Bridget Monaghan, and Colin Farrell!
"Where is he from?" Ritter is played by actor Henry Czerny and was Kittrich in the first Mission Impossible film.
The alley ambush scene still gives me chills to this day. You really feel scared for Jack because of how well done it is
This alley scene scared the s out of me. I was scheduled to take a business trip to a South American city known as a drug cartel stronghold. The next business day, I expressed my concerns to my boss. He just laughed at me. Then he explained that the US government refused my paperwork to go on the trip. The said it was not in my best interest and the company I was to meet with was being investigated. So trip was off.I was never so happy to lose a contract in my life.
@@ronhall5395 good for you man. Always trust your gut
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes more Jack Ryan please, and then the Jason Bourne series (Matt Damon) if you really enjoy the “covert espionage” genre. 👍🏻
But this is the last decent Ryan movie. The rest depart so far from Clancy's timeline, they are almost unrecognizable.
@@thunderchaser2042 I understand your sentiment. Personally I decided to relinquish the importance of the time-line/actor continuity when it comes to sequels. I just wanted to see more Jack Ryan. I enjoyed Ben Affleck and Chris Pine too. I was able to adapt to the TV series (John Krasinski) quite easily, but have to admit the second season was poorly written. Same with the Jason Borne series, some are better than others - but I had no issues with the 4th instalment The Borne Legacy (2012 Jeremy Renner) without Matt Damon. Glad that Matt stepped back in for the 5th instalment... but I can adapt if he didn't.
Yes, definitely check out the Jason Bourne trilogy! Great globe-trotting suspense, action and espionage!
Another vote for the Bourne series (original Trilogy anyway). I know you mentioned in a live chat that your sister has already seen them but if you haven't a reaction to them would be great. I can already imagine you getting totally invested.
@@frankbiondo3624 Drat… there’s no way I’ll be able to wait for Cassie’s reactions. I’ve gone ahead and started re-watching the whole Jason Bourne set from the beginning! Just as a refresher…😅
In case no one says it or mentions it enough, girl, I just love how you work your channel name into the movie titles. So freaking clever! Now that's being creative. It gets me excited to watch a movie with you. Just like when you see the movie title on the big screen right before it starts. Yes, girl! You're awesome👍❤
yes! i've been highly impressed with all the different looks and clever plays on the movie titles or themes.
I think that her editor deserves all of the credit for the logos. She still deserves credit for being awesome, though. 👍
@@Osprey850 ha! maybe... awesome people definitely attract other awesome people
@@Osprey850 Cool. I didn't know that. Well whomever is involved and helping her out, they get a shout out from me. Great job guys! You are awesome as well! Major props to everyone for helping make this channel be this cool. Woot woot!!!
@@yvetterodriguez2550 She hired an editor relatively early on. It's worked out well.
This was probably covered in the premiere chat, but John Clark (Willem Dafoe) was described by Clancy as 'Jack Ryan's dark side', more inclined to 'take the gloves off', so to speak...
'Ding' Chavez (the "sneaky bastard" sniper, played in this movie by Raymond Cruz) ends up being his son in law (in the books)...
Combined they are the best "wet work" team the Agency has ever seen.
yeah, this, along with "without remorse", is part of the back story of "rainbow 6".
@@qbasicmichael When I played Rainbow Six, I always chose Ding Chavez 😀
IMO, none of the movies successfully portrayed the book versions of Clark and Ding.
John Clarke retired a few years later and changed his name to Marcus and became an assassin.
This was the best of the sequels, and one of the best political thrillers I've seen. The ambush scene is one of the greatest action scenes in movie history
Clancy is an incredible writer. His novels are well worth the read. Very entertaining.
“I have no notes.”
High praise from a fan in-the-know😌🙏
"Is this what it's really like, corruption in the government? They say one thing and do another?"
YES.
Like being okay with riots one day but not being okay with them another.
Washington d.c. at its swampiest
Thank you for previewing Clear and Present Danger. A great film I haven't seen in years. The first of the Jack Ryan films I saw. :)
Sicario is a good film with Emily Blunt, it's a very dark and interesting look into the Mexican cartels, Benicio Del Toro is very good in the film, along with Josh Brolin.
written by tayor sheridan, who is an amazing screenwriter (Wind River, Hell or High Water, the Yellowstone and 1883 tv series)
My favorite modern western movie
Are you trying to break Cassie? Because that film will do it
Sicario's a *terrific* film. I like the sequel, too, mainly because it seems to slowly turn Del Toro into The Punisher ('El Castigatore'?) which maybe isn't in the original film's conceit, but I find it very entertaining nonetheless.
Are you sure she's ready for Sicario? It hits like a freight train.
Clear & Present Danger is one of the all time greatest movies, not only among Jack Ryan films. You can watch it over and over and keep getting new things out of it. Never gets old. Also you would love Regarding Henry.
The actor playing the President was in The Thing.
Dr. Ryan is a surgeon. She makes more than Jack, especially when he's a government employee.
That may be the funniest thing I've heard all day. I'm watching this serious movie and all of a sudden, "You want to huuug me, you want to kiiisss me," LOL.
I love this cast. Everyone is great
Indeed. Donald Moffat's performance as the President doesn't get enough credit. He seems almost grandfatherly, a little befuddled, and we can sympathize with his anger at the beginning, but at the end when Jack calls him out on his bullshit, he finally shows us the corruption and arrogance he's been keeping under the surface the whole time. Great acting.
Excited to see your reaction to this. I'm a big Harrison Ford fan, and I love both his Jack Ryan movies, but between this and "Patriot Games", I think this was just slightly better.
Yes... it was better...
I don't know, I think Patriot Games is better. It's all preference obviously, but Sean Bean was great in that film.
@@jona.scholt4362 There are elements of "Patriot Games" I do like better. I prefer the cast of "Patriot Games", because it includes Sean Bean, Richard Harris and Samuel L. Jackson and I prefer the music in that movie too - I love Irish music. But overall, especially in terms of pacing and intrigue, I just thought "Clear and Present Danger" worked better as a political espionage thriller.
@@anthonyvasquezactor I agree they're both great and it's really splitting hairs between the two. I think we'd both agree that not making a third Harrison Ford Jack Ryan movie was a missed opportunity.
@@jona.scholt4362 There WAS going to be one, but it was in development Hell. Ultimately, Ford declined to return in the role as he did not like the script. But I always like to think of "Air Force One" as his third Jack Ryan film.
This book was the first time I every heard of "The Canary Trap", or where you give different versions of the same document to different people to weed out the spy. I just remember loving the simplicity and cleverness of that trick.
"Better send over the video camera." A reminder of how much technology has changed since the mid-nineties. Taking video used to be a big deal and require large, delicate, and expensive camcorders - which seemed like miracles of engineering at the time. Today, the boarding crew would all be wearing tough little high-resolution body cameras.
You should react to…
Frantic (1988)
It's one of Harrison Ford's most underrated films.
🎥👌
And Mosquito Coast
This is my FAV Harrison Ford movie of all time. So glad you enjoyed it. I could watch this repeatedly.
When this book came out, I was in college and spent my free time reading the novel nonstop instead of studying. I finished the novel in 2 days and read it 3 times more over the next 2 weeks.
Dang!
This was one of the first espionage thrillers movies I've seen. Such a good movie, still holds up today.
Fun fact: Chavez, in Rainbow Six Clancy novel, he's Clark's son-in law.
This will be my personal favourite out of all the Clancy films. It is easily an enjoyable film, it's got everything in it, including coffee!
The attention to detail in this movie. My most favourite is when Chavez infiltrated the facility, scanned by peaking with his head tilted and eyes moved from right to left. That is a particular skillset, since in north america, we are trained to read from left to right, and by scanning right to left, you tend to be more careful and you're able to absorb more.
I'm surprised they never made a Rainbow Six movie. And I think an HBO or Amazon could make a pretty kick-ass miniseries out of Red Storm Rising...
@@asmrhead1560 yeah I remember they were planning a Without Remorse and Rainbow Six movie but canceled them after 9/11
@@asmrhead1560 Agreed, although I am not a film maker or in that industry, I can just imagine the budget for Rainbow Six if they were to make it a film. It's action packed and many characters to follow. Would definitely be a cool flick for sure.
Amazon's 'Without Remorse' sorta hinted in Rainbow Six. Not sure if you've ever seen it. (Apologies for the spolier if you have not seen Without Remorse)
I highly suggest Harrison Ford in "Frantic", "Witness", Regarding Henry", and "Air Force One"
Your enjoyment of, and emotional reaction to the films that you watch is contagious. That is why so many of us watch with you.
1. In the 44 years my husband and I have been together, I can count on one hand the number of times he's managed to stay awake when we try to watch a movie at home together.
2. This was a fun movie but an amazing book!
Agree.
Especially the Moira plot thread. I liked that she didn't die in the book.
You gotta love a movie that ends with Harrison Ford calling out the President in the Oval Office as a liar. That scene only gets more relevant and cathartic with time, especially now.
"I'm sorry Mr. President, I don't dance."
What a line!
A great thing about Tom Clancy movies, notice how so many of the seemingly minor military characters are very very good at their jobs. He holds the utmost respect for them and that is great. They are the silent heros.
It’s amazing how quickly computers became obsolete in films. Every scene with the CIA was like the set of a sci film it looked so advanced for the year in which this film came out
I do see your point.
I also think of classified planes like the Blackhawk and stealth bombers are considered obsolete. However I have a feeling more advanced is used in secrecy these days. When it's 2050 we'll learn about the advanced weapons of this last 20 years.
@@CannonRaw "Obsolete" is complicated. Precision guided missiles, for example, have changed warfare considerably making many previous technologies "obsolete". But they are insanely expensive, and in the event of WW3, stocks would be depleted quite quickly and we would almost certainly go back to less accurate but _much_ less expensive weapons, which would suddenly _not_ be obsolete anymore.
Mrs. Popcorn I wish I could have liked this twice! This has been one of my top 10 movies since I was 16...I have worn out VCR tapes of this and seen it and Patriot Games more times than I can remember...you liked all the parts I appreciated which makes a reaction watch worth it! You're my favourite reactor, thank you!
Jack Ryan isn’t just an analyst! He was a US Marine! Remember the story line in Hunt for Red October…
The two times that I’ve watched this movie, I was able to feel the buildup of tension through the performances, the corruption, lies, intense action, manipulation, and then see everything unravel in the best way courtesy of Jack working to put everything together and have everything grind to a halt when he was accusing the President at the end. And wow did that scene cause me to internally gasp and get goosebumps. This, The Hunt for Red October, The Insider, The Usual Suspects, In The Line of Fire, LA Confidential, Heat, and The Fugitive are several of the best thrillers from the 1990s.
Another Harrison Ford classic! I like Patriot Games more, but this was a solid, high quality sequel.
Great reaction Cassie! Definitely react to "The Sum of All Fears", with Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan, Morgan Freeman as Director of Central Intelligence William Cabot, and Liev Schreiber as John Clark. I think you'll really like it!
I would like to add Michael Byrne as Anatoly Grushkov to your list. It was a minor character, but vital to the outcome and (imo) Byrne stole every scene he was in. Such an awesome performance especially the final scene (on the lawn in front of the White House.
@@jenspfennig9226 "Byrne stole every scene he was in" - True that! He played his role perfectly. In general, I would say the casting for the movie was great! Even Affleck, as a young (30 years younger than Harrison Ford), inexperienced CIA analyst, (imo) was very believable. Thanks for adding Byrne to the list.
Your innocence is so refreshing and sweet and I so enjoy watching your reactions. You are by far my favorite channel. As always great job.
The greatness of Time Clancy. The man had some amazing books/movies/characters.
One of my favorite movies ❤
Mine too
If you want to watch another good Harrison Ford movie you should watch Witness (1985).
This movie was amazing! In my opinion Ford was the best Jack Ryan. The ambush scene where the government SUV convoy are being hit by gun fire, RPG's and the CIA agents fighting back was one of the best actions scenes I have ever saw in cinema.
The guy you can’t place was also in Mission Impossible. He for sure has a knack for playing a government jerk.
Willem Dafoe is one of my favorite actors, but he has never embodied Clark to me.
"WITHOUT REMORSE" is my favorite Clancy book and Clark is an imposing physical specimen. Especially if you've also read "RAINBOW SIX".
Agree completely.
@@no2all it's a shame that a real adaptation of WR is not on the horizon.
@@joebalusikiii5811 I agree. In that disappointing "The Sum of All Fears," Clark was played by Liev Schrieber who I thought was the saving grace of the movie. He was more like Clark than DaFoe.
The one Clancy novel I would have loved to have seen on the big screen is "Red Storm Rising" which would have been almost impossible to make. The cost would be enormous even if they could cut it down to twenty hours running time. It was not one of the Jack Ryan series.
At least it wasn’t Michael B Jordan
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Now that's funny right there.
Chavez and Clark are a big part of the Ryan series in some of the other books. If you get a chance to read/listen to the Ryan series, it's worth it. Start with Without Remorse and go in order.
Without Remorse, Patriot Games, Red Rabbit, Red October, Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, Sum of All Fears, Debt of Honor/Executive Orders (They are basically one massive book), Rainbow Six, and Bear and the Dragon. It then goes into the Jack Ryan, Jr series.
@Raylan Givens my favorite book as well. I’ve reread it probably a dozen times.
The only reason I didn’t like this movie was The most badass character in the Jack Ryan universe was played by Willem Defoe.
Cassie: You are simply the best. I hadn't seen this movie in years, but your edit brought me right back into it. No reciprocity required. From a friend in Iowa.
Another stone cold classic. I love how retro all the tech is in that, and Dave Prowse breaks my heart.
The Pres is Gary from The Thing. Ritter is from Mission Impossible 1. Oh and the computer guy is Richard Fish from Ally McBeal.
Love Willem Dafoe, his best film is Platoon, an 80s Vietnam movie by Oliver Stone (who actually served) which was NOT sanctioned by the armed forces as it portrayed war in a very unglamourous light - with Tom Berenger (career performance) Charlie Sheen (career performance) Forest Whitaker, a very young Jonny Depp and Kevin Dillon (Matt's brother). It will break you.
Great Film. I think you'd love "crimson tide". Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. Great tension suspense film.
*Cassie,* a lady I knew grew up in Virginia somewhere near the Atlantic ocean.
She was a great swimmer and as a kid didn't think twice about going out several miles from shore either with friends or alone.
One time alone she swam out of sight of land.
That wasn't anything out of the ordinary for her but this day, she noticed how dark blue the water was and really realized how deep the water was beneath her.
Then she started thinking of all the creatures down there that could make her disappear without a trace.
She admitted that she started to panic, but kept her cool and swam back to shore.
She said she never went swimming in the ocean again.
That story sums up why I can't swim in the ocean, either. 😟
Casey has to be one of the most genuine, honest, fun, empathetic and of course ridiculously hot people on UA-cam.
Always loved this underrated movie, the score, the action, the plot. Never get tired of watching it.
Harrison Ford is the only Jack Ryan we need.
Reciprocity is the name of the mission and it is a fancy way of (in this context) saying revenge. Technically it is an exchange of some sort. And as for the President, he isn't signing off specifically on these actions, he's letting his national security team read between the lines so to speak. He wants these actions as revenge for his friends death, and to soothe his ego to some extent. Also doesn't help that it would be politically popular. But he can't do this sort of thing without congressional authorization, so he is letting it happen, without explicitly authorizing it. Which is why it was a big deal that Ritter got a explicit order from the National Security Advisor, and Jack didn't.
There are two earlier Jack Ryan films with Ford you REALLY should watch. It's before he became the honourable analyst character we know and love, he was a shady lawyer. One night he gets a grazed headshot and loses his memory and he goes through this big ordeal, trying to reform his relationship with his wife, his daughter wants a beagle, it's quite the transformation for his character, it's called Regarding Henry. The other one is before he meets his wife. He plays a city detective and he falls in love with a single mother who's son is a witness to a crime involving other law men that Ford's character works with. We get to see hints of his good-shall-prevail character, it's so good. It's called Witness. Fun side-note, the woman he falls for is the female instructor from Top Gun, Kelly McGillis :)
Witness and Regarding Henry are both very good. To that list I'd add Presumed Innocent. I think Cassie and her sister would both gush over Sabrina though. but please avoid Random Hearts, which I have personally dubbed "random plot"
While those are Harrison Ford movies, they are not Jack Ryan films ;-)
@@gregall2178 What are you inferring? That they were played by a replicant?
;)
@@chernobyl68 Honestly, I'm waiting for them both to do Working Girl :)
@@chefskiss6179 I was inferring that Jack Ryan was not a character in either Regarding Henry or Witness ;-)
*"There are two earlier Jack Ryan films with Ford you REALLY should watch"*
Cassie, as others have recommended, you should watch the Harrison Ford film, WITNESS...the film he was nominated and almost won an Oscar Award for. An intense, beautiful, deeply emotional film, action thriller/drama/romance. Music, cinematography, story, acting, direction...just magnificent. Ford at his dramatic, intelligent, charismatic best.
THAT and Air Force One with Ford and The Fugitive if you haven't yet reacted to it...another Ford blockbuster.
they called this Genre "techno-thriller" back in the day. the books have lots of nerdy details on the technology, CIA and military type stuff hence the name.
If you like this, I suggest "No Way Out" starring Kevin Costner & Gene Hackman.
Excellent, I forgot this one had both Mr C and Ding Chavez in it! Their first foray together? It's been a while. It's a shame they didn't make a proper movie version of Without Remorse with Willem Dafoe back in the day. Instead we got whatever they tried to fob off last year that I haven't actually watched. So I guess I can't pass judgement other than the movie previews didn't seem anything like what I saw in the story vividly painted by Clancy back in the day.
Reciprocity - Just the fancy rarely-used noun version of the verb reciprocate.
Whenever I have read Clancy books since seeing Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, Harrison Ford is always playing Jack Ryan in my head.
They were doing a Without Remorse but canceled it after 9/11 and did sum of all fears instead since it was a terrorist attack movie.
I feel like they changed so much about Without Remorse that they might as well have just made it about different characters altogether. However, I will say this: The action scenes in that movie were *really* well-staged. It actually reminded me a lot of this movie in that respect.
I remember "Without Remorse" being discussed as a movie as early as when the book came out.
I always wanted a good proper movie about John Kelly. Without Remorse was such a great book.
@@Johnny_Socko I totally agree with you. If you are able to ignore the fact that "Without Remorse" is part of the RyanClancyVerse it is a good and very enjoyable movie.
John Clark is by far my favorite character in the Ryanverse. I Recommend the book Without Remorse to show his early years.
In the helicopter scene at the end all I could hear is "Don't you let go Mr. Frodo!"
Hello. You're my favorite reaction channel, you're really genuine. This is my first time commenting, but I've been watching since your first reaction video. I've really enjoyed your Jack Ryan reactions. I wanted to recommend something, because this is as far as Jack Ryan goes in terms of his timeline, Ben Affleck next plays a young Ryan in a prequel, then Chris Pine plays Ryan even younger in another prequel after that. I would recommend watching the film Air Force One before Affleck and Pine, because Harrison Ford plays a very Jack Ryan-esque character in that, and a lot of people/fans said Air Force One is pretty much a final Jack Ryan film. They also say that because in the original books, Jack Ryan eventually becomes President of the United States. Plus Air Force One is just a really good movie! :)
I've always considered airforce one to be the third Harrison Ford/ jack ryan movie.
Such a great movie. In my book it's far superior to "Patriot Games", and a tie with "The Hunt For Red October" for the best Jack Ryan movie of them all. Thanks for another great reaction!
Weird how nobody mentions Sum of All fears as a jack ryan movie.
It's not a jack Ryan film but Harrison Ford did Air Force One a couple years after this. It's has a similar intensity to it and Ford is great as always.
Witness ...you must watch it!😍😍😍Harrison at his bestest!
Have you seen "Regarding Henry" yet? You would absolutely love it. I think its Harrison's best performance.
Yay! I love this film and think you will, too. After this the logical Harrison Ford film is *Air Force One* which is a lot of fun. Same director as *In The Line of Fire* though not as serious a movie. *Witness* that someone else suggested is also a good film. Keep up the great work!
She could retire now if every recommendation was worth a half a penny at this point
She seems to enjoy courtroom dramas, so I'd add Presumed Innocent to the list.
"He should be in this job too."
As a matter of fact, there are several books where Jack is The President.
The guy with the glasses who was keeping Jack in the dark was also in the first Mission Impossible movie. He played Ethan Hunt's boss who accused him of being a traitor.
I loved this movie ever since I first watched it as a kid in 1996-97. I would recommend you watch the Harrison Ford starer 'The Fugitive' (1993) from the same era. I assure you wouldn't be disappointed.
she has already
@@sst6601 Ah, that's good. Looks like she's a big Harrison Ford fan. 👍
She gets wet every time she sees him😄
She saw it
This is such a great movie and so was your reaction. Harrison Ford is just the best Jack Ryan.
Little fun facts: Yes, Jack is an analyst, but he was a U. S. marine, also. John Clark is probably one of the most badass charakters ever created (esp. in the books). And last, but not least the Character of Ernesto Escobedo is based on the real-life Pablo Escobar. There's a great TV show about that, called "Narcos" ;o).
One of the best spy films made. The tension, the action, the writing and acting, it was all top tier. I loved seeing your reactions to this, pure as always. As a straight guy, I'll freely say that 80s Harrison Ford was one of the sexiest men on celluloid. This movie, The Fugitive, Indiana Jones. He doesn't even need to show some skin to ooze it.
Loved this movie. A good coder, data scientist or machine learning expert on your side, is a truly valuable ally.
On it's own, this was a great movie. And yet, it's also the movie that caused the Jack Ryan franchise to stumble and it never really recovered until the Amazon series with John Krasinski came along. The reason is they changed too much from the books. I remember seeing this in the theater - it was the first of the movies I'd seen where I'd read the book beforehand, and was one of the few movies I ever came away from actually upset. Dan Murray, Ryan's friend who dies in the attack when they're riding in the SUV's, wasn't supposed to die at that point. He appears in the next few books. The ending was completely changed and not for the better, and again the change undermines overarching storylines that come back in later books. And don't get me wrong, I love Willam Defoe as an actor, and he's done many great things, but he was poorly cast as John Clark. Clark is supposed to be this very large, intimidating man, soft spoken - the type that lets his actions speak for him. Casting Liev Schreiber in "The Sum of All Fears" was much closer to the source material and one of the few things they did right in that next film. You'll find that with the next couple of films, they keep basically rebooting the franchise with new actors (Ben Affleck and Chris Pine) but never can get it right. At least Harrison Ford was fairly close to Clancy's idea of who/what Jack Ryan was as a character. But really, the closest by far now is John Krasinski in terms of getting the character right, even though the story of the Amazon Series is a new one not written by Tom Clancy (who sadly passed away in 2013).
Totally agree. As a lover of the books, this movie is incredibly frustrating to watch. I was so looking forward to seeing Clark and they absolutely massacred the character. This was clearly written by a screenwriter who wasn't familiar with the books and was just tasked with adapting this particular one.
As a fan of the books, I agree (on all your points). I like Harrison Ford, but I think he played Ryan too soft. Ryan may be an analyst, but he's also a Marine. (And a Marine is never a "former Marine." Once a Marine, always a Marine.) I also like Willem Dafoe, but don't think he was a good choice for Clark. The Chavez casting was okay, though.
Please give STAR TREK a chance 🖖!
The funeral scene with the president giving that eulogy hits me every time.
One of my favorite movies of all time! I remember seeing it with my dad in theaters in 94. Every time I see it on TV it's a must-watch in memory of him
You may like these Harrison Ford movies: Blade Runner, Regarding Henry, and Presumed Innocent.
You need to do Jason Bourne too Cassie!
One Reason they used Ben Affleck in Sum of all Fears is they changed parts of the story to make it into a Prequel to the others..... So the Character of Jack Rayan was younger than in the movies they had already made........
There are approximately 9 books in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series, and when making movies they made the movies out of order and changed some timeline events......
Suggestion box: FRANTIC is another great, fun Ford flick.
I think Clancy's novels are classified to as "techno-thrillers."
Ben Affleck only did the one movie as Jack Ryan (The Sum of all Fears), which I didn't see and heard was terrible. And then there was sort of a prequel/reboot (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) with Chris Pine and Keira Knightly, which was okay.
Techno-*political* thrillers, if we're being specific. But yeah, you're right 😁
EDIT: 'Sum of All Fears' wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen....but it is tied for 2nd-worst Clancyverse property.
I did not like 'Shadow Recruit' personally. That's nothing against you - you don't need my permission to have a better opinion of something than I do - but FWIW I felt like it was a generic action thriller that they retooled for Jack Ryan.
The other movie tied for 2nd-worst: Without Remorse. I wanted to like it *so bad*. But it's really not good at all. It *almost* gives me second thoughts about its sequel (Rainbow Six), but I've waited way too long for that to come out to not at least watch it once. Glutton for punishment, I guess LOL...
Affleck is terrible
The Sum of All Fears isn't bad at all. Perfectly fine performances all-round.
@@zuur303 And it had Morgan Freeman, so how bad could it be? I mean sure, sometimes pretty bad - but he's always great!
The best part if Sum of all fears was seeing more John Clark.
If you like the espionage genre try No Way Out with Kevin Costner.
For a series try The Americans, great series.
No way out was great!
I tried to watch The Americans, but gave up after... I dunno, the first season? It was too dreary for me.
I respect your opinion, we all have different tastes and likes. For me The Americans is one of my top all time series.
"That guy we don't like" is a Canadian actor - Henry Czerny
He's also in the first Mission Impossible as the guy who tries to arrest Tom Cruise's character
22:34 Printing a single document has NEVER BE SO INTENSE, since before this film… and possibly never ever after it… 😂
