The Sum of All Fears
Filed under: Action | Buy on Amazon
Another Tom Clancy book comes to the big screen, this time with Ben Affleck playing a younger Jack Ryan. Affleck is a bit too cocky for a CIA historian/desk-jockey called upon to advise the president. This time around terrorists bent on restoring facism steal a nuclear bomb and set it off in Baltimore, hoping to launch a nuclear war between Russia and the U.S. that would destroy both nations, allowing facism to rule again. Interesting idea, but the plot isn't as interesting as watching what happens when a nuclear weapon is detonated in a major U.S. city and how the president responds.
