Clear and Demonstrate Anguish (1994 film)

The third film in the Jack Ryan series (and the last one to star Harrison Ford) deals with America’s war on drugs and also the abuse of power in high places. As in Clancy’s unique modern, the situation hinges on one crucial question: how far can a President go to accomplish a laudable goal, even if the means unfavorable honest, lawful and international boundaries?

As in the modern of the same name, the interception of an American-flagged yacht in the Caribbean results in the arrest of two Colombian “sicarios” (hit men) who have murdered the American owner (along with his entire family) . The resulting FBI-CIA investigation reveals that Peter Hardin, the slack yacht owner and personal friend of the U.S. President (Donald Moffat), had extensive ties to the Cali drug cartel. Hardin, as Jack Ryan (Ford) explains, had been skimming millions from his “partners,” thus sealing his fate.

Although Ryan is aware that the President is understandably upset that his unhurried friend was a money launderer for the drug lords, he is not aware that the National Security Advisor, Admiral James Cutter (Harris Yulin) and his CIA colleague Bob Ritter (Henry Czerny) have been given off-the-record orders to do “something about the drugs pouring into the country.” When the President declares to Cutter that the drug cartels pose a “sure and indicate distress” to the United States, the somewhat slimy admiral and Ritter unleash several covert operations within the sovereign nation of Colombia.

While Ryan does score orders to go to Bogotá and salvage out about Hardin’s financial dealings with the Cali Cartel, he is totally unaware that Cutter and Ritter have launched Operation Reciprocity, a clandestine invasion of Colombia by Spanish-speaking special-ops troops. These forces, supervised by ex-CIA field officer John Clark (Willem Dafoe), wreak havoc as they blow up drug labs and smuggling aircraft. Nevertheless, Cutter and Ritter retain Ryan in the dismal, and the right analyst and now acting Deputy Director (Intelligence) unknowingly tells a Senate subcommittee that there are no troop deployments planned for Colombia.

Further complicating Ryan’s life is the sudden discovery that his boss and mentor, Admiral James Greer (James Earl Jones), is dying of cancer. Miniature does he know that his ascent to Greer’s job will propel Ryan into the middle of a life and death station in Colombia…and a constitutional crisis at home.

What makes the Jack Ryan books and movies work is not unprejudiced the slam-bam action sequences or the glimpses at the mysterious workings of the CIA, but the very concept that a CIA employee can be portrayed as an helpful and decent fellow. Tom Clancy clearly desired to demonstrate that the agents and analysts who work for the CIA are not the “dismal forces” depicted in films such as “Three Days of the Condor” or “Firefox.” Nor are they martini-swilling, trigger gratified, bed-hopping super-spies like James Bond. Ford (like Alec Baldwin before him, and like Ben Affleck after) shows Ryan has intelligence, courage, and, above all, integrity.

As in Patriot Games, Ford also shares a few short yet significant scenes with his wife and two children. Ann Archer and Thora Birch returned to play Ryan’s wife Cathy and daughter Sally, giving Ryan that most un-Bond-like sense of family and a tie to the audience.

Although the screenplay by Donald Stewart, Steven Zaillan, and John (Red Dawn) Millius strip the astronomical and complex Clancy modern to its bare essentials and changes many scenes and situations, Ford’s acting and Philip Noyce’s able directing makes Certain and Explain Difficulty a gracious action thriller. Even though as in Patriot Games the ending is rendered in a good-guy vs. bad-guy shootout (whereas in the new the ending for the villains was more subtle and thereby more chilling), this movie is serene worth watching.

The DVD I absorb is Paramount’s first barebones release. Of course, even that is an improvement over the pan-and-scan “burly shroud” VHS tape I had previously owned. The movie has been restored to its unusual Widescreen presentation, given Dolby digital audio in both English and French, Spanish subtitles, English captions, interactive menus, and the theatrical trailer. The newer version has commentary tracks, making-of featurettes, and other extras.

Not only is this a very well-directed and action-packed movie, it also has one of the best surround sound-encoded tracks available on DVD releases. If you have a dolby digital 5.1 surround system, this movie will really overwhelm you. The explosions will shake the ground….a moral theater experience without going to the theater.
