"You don't ... HAVE ... one of these ... do you, Jack?" This guy played a superb villain. Top notch movie. We need more intelligent and entertaining movies like this about politics and the clear difference between good and evil.
Nerdy keyboard warrior villain. Does all the scandalous s hit from his safe computer. He'd soil his britches and faint if he ever encountered a man pointing a gun at him. He's not 1/100th the man Jack Ryan is.
@@Swarm509 I like this movie a lot, but I hate super convenient coincidences. Ritter deletes his files at the EXACT same time Jack gets the code to break into his terminal? Cmon now, give me a break.....
Maybe because Ryan convinced Congress to provide funding and guaranteed that troops would not be involved. That's the kind of stuff that government lawyers live for.
The whole plot of them trying to pin Reciprocity on Jack and Greer never made any sense to me, especially once Ritter handed Ryan the signed note from Cutter admitting the President was in on it. They couldn't prove Ryan knew about it and lied to congress. But they gave Ryan proof that the President authorised it and Cutter and Ritter were involved. So how was Ryan in any danger of prosecution?
I think the issue was that there wasn't much in terms of the operation to tie to Ritter. The bombing could be tossed off as drug violence and not part of the operation. Ryan would have to separately make a case for that. It's more about the internal quid pro quo on being willing to testify against each other that matters. Ritter is just proving that he's guilt free and without him admitting to knowledge of the bombing, there's nothing Ryan can do.
This scene is BS. The files were only marked for deletion. To destroy them Ritter would need to reformat the hard drive. Never mind any backups that may be elsewhere. Someone else is always watching the watchers.

"Wrong again! I have an autographed 'Get Out of Jail Free' Card!"
One of my favorite lines.
Say what you will about Ritter, but "Cutter couldn't tie his shoes without permission" is a badass line.
Which means he wouldn't move without his Superiors word
I loved 90s movies like this, 👍 👌
Interesting how today people don't understand THAT was reality TV,

@@CheerfullyCynical829 This is true, but he can play that keyboard warrior game extremely well. He had all the angles covered.

RIP Tom Clancy
Henry Czerny plays a great DC government scumbag.
He’s basically the same guy in Mission Impossible movies.
@benjaminperez7328 yuuup. Plays it so damn well.
Surely since Ritter had the authorization letter then why would Ryan go to prison? It Ritter had to use the letter then it would exonerate Ryan.
Maybe because Ryan convinced Congress to provide funding and guaranteed that troops would not be involved. That's the kind of stuff that government lawyers live for.
However, the document would lead back to the oval office. It's the paper trail.
Exactly. He should have taken the letter, it’s the smoking gun implicating the president
It's all about executive immunity
3:47 I go down, you’re going with me.
Actually, "Deleting" the files only changes the directory. The files are still there as long as they're not overwritten. 😁
It would not surprise me if a CIA computer used a file shredder to delete stuff.
Hi
GAWDDAMN i miss good scripts, and direction.
So Ritter and President are lovers? 0:58

That stuff's legal now... essentially. Presidential immunity. Do what evah you want.

Paper abuse.
Ritter, in this scene exudes the arrogance and flippancy we see in operatives for the current administration
You didn’t have to shoehorn in your politics very hard on that one, did ya?
Hurt your wrist?
