It just dawned on me, after watching it, that this was a Jack Ryan movie. Had I realized sooner, I wonder if I would have enjoyed it less.. knowing that mr Ryan always delivers himself.
Still, it is weighty, isn't afraid to "go places" with its very fictional and tense developments. The whole thing is classy and quite enjoyable for an action-war-thriller! With many moving parts and a rather simplistic story (with a decent premise) that is well executed. The casting is good (although Ben Affleck is a little cartoonish and green for the role, in my opinion) and the sound mixing and choices are memorable.
Easy recommendation for a 20-year old movie that has held well.
