Commentary
Ben Affleck is a pretty good director, but he is a weak actor, and it shows in this film (as well as others). Fortunately, the story has Morgan Freeman to boost the story.
Technical
Paramount is doing a fine job with their transfers these days, and the Jack Ryan series certainly deserves such treatment.
Extras
Perhaps Paramount realized that the fourth installment is not as good as the previous three, so they added more extras, including the making of, Creating Reality: The Visual Effects of The Sum of All Fears, and other things. Nevertheless, the extras section is still rather Spartan.
