Crashaz,
A nice movie to make, but they should have brought Alec Baldwin back. I always felt that in the Hunt for Red October, he really fit the image of Jack Ryan as portrayed in the novel; an academic playing way over his head. Harrison Ford was more of a heroic everyman, but didn't quite fit Clancy's books.
Ben Affleck was a bloody mess, and Costner? The only three movies I ever liked him in are Tin Cup, Field of Dreams, and The Untouchables.

i've never seen any of the movies, but read most of the books.
hopefully
This is by far my fav Clancy novel, the metamorphsis of John Kelly into the shadowy Bill Clark. As someone has already said, in the book, it has very little to do w/ Jack Ryan. His dad is entered as a detective investigating a series of murders, hope that hasn't ruined to much of the plot for anyone. Admiral Greer of the Ryan novels is the one who recruits John Kelly not sure why they would pick someone else as an character, seems to ruin the continuty to me. I've read the book about 4 times, to me it's that good. I too would like to see a Rainbow 6 series come to the screen or at least a trilogy. Just hope they don't screw the pooch on this one
