About
If you want an early-90s, family-centered spy revenge thriller with nonstop peril, Patriot Games should land well; Not for you if you dislike dated action-thriller plotting or want something as twisty as Ronin or In the Line of Fire.
Pros: thrilling revenge tension; strong cast performances; effective action setpieces | Cons: shows its age; formulaic plotting; some elements feel forgettable
