Not widescreen enhanced, but otherwise the picture is extremely
good.

Watch out, it defaults to Dolby Digital 2.0 although DD 5.1

the age of the movie and the DVD.

Quick Take
Clear
and Present Danger marks the return of Dr. Jack Ryan to the movies
for a third time. Like Patriot Games,
this time Ryan is played by Harrison Ford. The good Doctor finds
himself unraveling a plot involving the Columbian drug cartel this
time out.
This
film was transferred to DVD at the same time as Patriot
Games and consequently shares the exact same attributes both
positive and negative. This means we're looking at a normal letterbox
version even on a widescreen set as the movie is not anamorphically
enhanced. However, the picture is excellent. Likewise, the Dolby
Digital 5.1 track provides wonderful audio and some good booms this
time out as well. But again, DD 5.1 is not the default, so be sure
to select it before you start viewing.
If
you're a Tom Clancy or Harrison Ford fan, get this DVD. If you're
not familiar with Jack Ryan, go check out The
Hunt for Red October to meet him, although he's played by Alec
Baldwin instead of Ford in that film.
