2. I liked Hunt for Red October
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 08:29 PM by Ilsa
as the best story, but I enjoyed watching Patriot Games even more because I enjoyed the diversity of settings, and how they tracked that IRA group down.

Most of "Hunt" could have been filmed in the same bathroom and I wouldn't have noticed. Besides, Fred Thompson spoiled it for me, although Daniel Davis was excellent opposite him in dialogue.

I thought The Sum of All Fears was crappy.

5. Sum of All Fears
was crappy because they changed so much. They were going for the Ben Affleck youth demographic and failed.

4. Hunt for Red October
with Patriot Games a close second. Sum of all Fears was OK, but waaaaay unrealistic.

7. The Hunt for Red October
Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin in one movie! What's not to like?
