The Sum of All Fears Ratings & Reviews
- MischaOctober 14, 2024Jack Ryan defends the world from unknown enemies
- PatrickJune 27, 2025Enjoyable movie. Missing these types of movies.
- Chris CAugust 25, 2025While not the best "Jack Ryan-verse" movie, it's definitely still an above-average action-thriller. Affleck is solid as a CIA analyst thrust into a situation out of his depth, though Freeman and Cromwell are the real acting highlights, unsurprisingly. The underlying plot is pretty far-fetched in general, but the plausibility of something along these lines does seem to be feeling more possible every year. If you're in the mood for some globe-spanning political intrigue with a decent splash of action, you could do worse than "The Sum of All Fears".
- Gerald InmanMay 10, 2025This film is the 4th installment of the “Jack Ryan” series of films based on author Tom Clancy novels that carry the same name. Ben Affleck plays Jack Ryan in this action drama whom gets inadvertently caught into international intrigue in which he must perform heroic efforts to prevent calamity from happening. The film is enjoyable from that standpoint. Tom Clancy has a consistent plot and theme style that is quite prevalent in this novels and this clearly comes out in this film as well. This movie just barely meets the level of expectation and excitement of the previous Jack Ryan films despite some high profile acting include performances from Morgan Freeman and James Cromwell. The movie still has merit especially given some wonderful acting scenes by Liev Schreiber so you should enjoy the film.
- Hendrik PapeMarch 15, 2025One of my favourite of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan book series and yet the movie seemingly ignored the book. Rather than follow the events of Clear and Present Danger this movie takes us back to the beginning of Ryan’s career. Overall the movie isn’t bad but it’s NOT Tom Clancy’s Sum of All Fears.
- Randy LoweFebruary 24, 2025vapidly implausible. mildly entertaining.
