I agree the the Clancy-film adaptations are "meh" with one exception:

John McTiernan's THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER.

I never read the source novel, but I really don't give a s*it if its even close to the text. A great sub/spy thriller that formed a corner what me and my friends call director McTiernan's "Holy Action Trilogy" that also includes PREDATOR and DIE HARD.(Though while his audio commentaries have interesting info, McTiernan is damn boring. LOL)

I get ya Capo, sorry for whatever. Can we agree in united solidarity though that M:I 2 sucked?
