Ford gives one of his most commanding performances outside of a Lucas production, establishing an action formula Ford would repeat...[Blu-Ray]

I expected this one to be a little more cerebral and without the Indiana Jones ending.

Top CriticIt moves along at a speedy clip, though it substitutes sadism for such niceties as wit and style.
03/04/02
An enjoyable, tense and sometimes stylish action film, but lacks the depth of characterization and technical proficiency that made Hunt a superior work.
01/01/00
The film holds too few surprises to sustain our interest. All too often, we're ahead of the game.
01/01/00
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.

It ain't exactly saving the world, but Patriot Games's earnestness belies its ultimate simplicity and smallness.
04/29/03
Director Phillip Noyce, who made the gripping thriller Dead Calm, has earned his directorial hack license here.
01/01/00
The movie kills most of the fun by watering down Clancy.
