Reviews for Clear and Present Danger
The uneven flow is as likely to lead to a snoozing viewer as to one on the edge of their seat.
Clear and Present Danger isn't quite up to the very high standard set by The Hunt for Red October, but it's a genuine cut above Patriot Games.
The film seems to have its pulse on some peculiarly modern varieties of madness.
Danger is just an overblown attempt to latch onto already-waning "Just Say No" sentiment in the U.S. (it was released in 1994). No dice.
I could swear I had seen this movie before because some of the places, like in the drug lord's home, were exactly as I had imagined them from the book.
