I really liked it. Ford brought his usual charm, maturity, and badass to the role of Jack Ryan. As an adaptation its probably one of the most brisqued through, but as a thriller its solid throughout. The end in the house and the boat chase was awesome.

B+/A-

Eh... it never gets me thrilled or excited. Far too much talk to work effectively as a thriller, and it's not engrossing enough to work as a drama. Ford is fine, but he made (by far) the two weakest Jack Ryan pics. Stick to Red October or even Sum of All Fears.
