I was expecting a lackluster film the way all the critics tore this apart, but I quite enjoyed it more that expected.
I'm not sure how accurate the screenplay is from Clancy's novel, but it certainly had some continuity, plot and technical issues. They weren't huge, and I feel there were also issues with the scene editing that may have looked as screenplay quirks.
The story itself was also a little convoluted, but it still flowed nicely with constant tension and suspense, and the awesome action made most of the quirks insignificant. The 109 min runtime was just right as was the pacing. Jordan's performance wasn't the best, but still good, as were all the rest of the performances.
Overall, an enjoyable action flick, and a well deserved solid 8/10 from me. If you're a fan of this genre, you wont be disappointed, and the extra clip midway through the closing credits will make you want more.
