The film's dominant motif is that of revenge. In a key scene, the wife tells her husband (Harrison Ford): You get him. I don't care what you have to do, just get him." From that point on, the film becomes the story of a nuclear family in imminent danger.

É sempre bom ver um filme de ação que se preocupa em desenvolver seus personagens.

It ain't exactly saving the world, but Patriot Games's earnestness belies its ultimate simplicity and smallness.
