As
much as Harrison Ford would like you to list Jack Ryan as one of his
most memorable characters,
he will never break the top three. Those positions will be held, in
perpetuity, by Han Solo,
Indiana Jones and Rick Deckard. Ford is at his best, and his most
memorable, when he plays
to type. And his type, of course, is the anti-hero. Or at least it
was back in the 'good old days'. In
this current age of liberal conservatism, our childhood heroes are
forced to make amends for their
past deeds. And what better way to de-rogue a lovable rogue (or
chauvinistic robot rapist/murderer)
from our childhood than to reunite him with his estranged child? Many spoilers ahead.
