The Sums of all Fears
A Film Review By Paul Perkins
Everyone Should See This Powerful Film
Terrorist weak havoc across the world killing incident
people. In The United States we will never forget Sep 11. The Sum of all
Fears is a movie we will never forget either. The film deals with that
subject.
Every country in the world has made or is housing Nuclear
Weapons incase of an attack by their enemies. To this day there are 164
transportable warheads are still unaccounted for. The Sums of all Fears
is a chillingly realistic portrait of what could happen if one of those weapons
fell into the wrong hands.
Eerily prescient in the current political climate, the film
is a frightening depiction of how quickly fear can escalate into a paranoia that
dominates man’s ability to reason.
The Sums of all Fears is a film that by the time the film
end you will be talking about it for a long time to come. The story will have
people saying it should not have gotten release because of the subject matter
hitting to close to what happen on Sep 11.
The story of The Sum of all Fears was a pretty good
film is base on Tom Clancy’s bestseller book or over six months. Base on The
New York Time list. Now It a feature film and I have to admit it was good and a
lot of Clancy’s book turn movies are as well like Clear and Present Danger
and Patriot Games, The Sum of all Fears is added to that list.
The acting was pretty good mostly by Morgan Freeman; who is
a talented actor and has been in many films over his acting career. Ben Affleck
was ok but not as great as Morgan Freeman. I just don’t think he is a good
actor granted he was good in Good Will Hunting. He is filling some big shoes
left by Harrison Ford. In this film I didn’t think he filled it, maybe if they
make another movie base on a book he will be better let’s hope.
The war scenes were shot very good and with great detail to
the background. The Bomb scene look very good and even so you know it was made
on a computer it still look powerful on the big screen.
