Patriot Games: Book vs Movie

So I’ve just got into reading the Jack Ryan books. I’ve seen the big three movies (Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger) and I loved watching them. The movie Red October and the book really held up well together. But today I finished reading Patriot Games, so I decided to watch the movie. I hadn’t seen it in at least 15 years. Honestly, watching it now I was really disappointed. I felt the whole Dennis Cooley storyline was rushed in the film. I felt like the original mission of Sean Miller and his crew wasn’t really explained in the movie. The Ronny Jackson character would have been hard to expand for the movie, but I felt it was a wasted role for Samuel L Jackson. The 2 hour run time really flys, which is good, and the ending battle at the Ryan house is great, but having the Prince of Wales in the book adds so much depth not just to the ending battle, but to the book as a whole. I don’t know how to describe it, but watching the movie again after so man years, and after reading the book, I don’t feel that the movie holds up to how great the book was. Anyone else feel the same or differently?
