The Sum Of All Fears

Following Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck fills the world-saving shoes of Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan in this typically jingoistic action thriller. The clear and present danger this time is a terrorist faction who threaten to create global thermonuclear havoc by detonating an A-bomb in Baltimore. Cue square-jawed suspense as Affleck plays the gung-ho middleman between US Prez James Cromwell and his Russian counterpart Ciaran Hinds. Fingers on buttons...
