I don't know how long the subtitle feature on Netflix has been available, but this was the first time I noticed the option. Since today was hot, I had my fan on, but the noise made it hard to hear the audio. Consequently, I turned the subtitles on to compensate for the muffled audio (only English subtitles were available for this movie).

Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin)

I'm sure I read the book when I was younger. While I don't remember any of it, it might have subconsciously taken some excitement away from the movie.

The movie's plot focuses more on strategy instead of action. Most of the action is concentrated in two or three scenes.

Overall, it's a good movie.

Watching the movie again today, I felt I followed the plot more than the first time I watched the movie. In any case, I'd say its a film worth watching at least once.
