Movie Reviews

Nitrate Online - 10/10 by Dan LybargerSolid if somewhat staid adaptation of the Clancy book.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversThough Hunt shows fitful signs of life, it lacks the human drama of Das Boot, the technical dazzle of The Abyss and the old-fashioned brio of Run Silent, Run Deep.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThis Tom Clancy thriller gets the proper screen treatment here with this first-rate cast and direction by one of the genre’s best: Die Hard director John McTiernan.
Internet Reviews - 9/10 by Steve RhodesThe entire cast down to the smallest role is meticulously chosen.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertA skillful, efficient film that involves us in the clever and deceptive game being played by Ramius and in the best efforts of those on both sides to figure out what he plans to do with his submarine - and how he plans to do it.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Christopher NullIf any film in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series stands out as the best (or even a truly great movie), it's The Hunt for Red October.
USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkThis is a Reagan youth's wet dream of underwater ballistics and East-West conflict.
Groucho Reviews - 9/10 by Peter CanaveseAs for the film's suspense credentials, you know it's time to get tense when James Earl Jones intones, 'Mother of God.' [Blu-Ray]
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyThe first Jack Ryan thriller adventure is a supremely mounted film, well acted by Alec Baldwin and Sean Connery, and vastly enjoyable.
Three Movie Buffs - 9/10 by Scott NashIt is Sean Connery who really makes this movie work for me.
