Not a bad movie on it's own merits. But for anyone who is a dedicated Clancy book fan, this movie has strayed so far from the book it would be funny if it weren't dumb. If you haven't read the book, then watch it, but forget the book. For those who have read the book, skip the movie, unless you are prepared for a movie with more differences in characters, nations, and issues, as the book. I don't mind moral lessons in movies, but if they are based upon books, I expect them those lessons to follow the book they are based upon. This movie does not deliver.
I watched the premiere of "Path to Paradise" way back and was stunned by it, dramatic license and all. I lived in NYC (Brooklyn) a few years and kept in mind. Today, given the links to groups such as Al-Queda, Hamas, and the Islamic Jihad, I see it as a warning not recognized by our government. For that I place the blame on our bureaucracy and leaders. 9.11.01 was a new tactic to behead two of our branches of gov't and there is no excuse for our gov't to prevent it, period. "Path to Paradise" was but a dramatic view of the '93 preview, and no one cared. Now, nearly 3,000 deaths later, and years behind, we struggle to find an answer that is decades to resolve.
