\"\"\/Watched “Patriot Games<\/a>” on DVD. This is a really good action movie. The old type of action, though. The kind where bad guys piss off the good guy, shoot him, threaten his family, etc, and than this good guy stands up and goes to kick some bad guy’s butt.<\/p>\n

Apart from being very predictable and going along the usual lines, this film is very good. It has a good story, wraps everything around CIA and politics, which looks very timely, has a bunch of celebraties (Harrison Ford<\/a>, Sean Bean<\/a>, Samuel L. Jackson<\/a>, James Earl Jones<\/a>) and it does provide for a good entertainment.<\/p>\n

I’ll rate this film as 7 out of 10 as it is everything it was supposed to be. Worth a rent surely.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
