Pros: unpredictable

Cons: NOTHING

if there is a movie that i would recommed for you then it would be this one. the "sum of all fears". personally, i think that the reason for choosing this as the heading of the movie is the following quote by winston churchill:"why, yo...u may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together- what do you get?THE SUM OF THEIR FEARS"absolutely fasciting with alot of twist and suspense within the movie. i can tell you that the only negative thing about this movie is that it was short. i have read the actual novel and there is just too much in it. the film is sort of the short version of the novel. despite this it presents many of the underlying themes with minor alterations.what makes this even more thrilling is the fact that the movie was released at a time in which the US was preparing to launch a war against iraq which has made it the number one movie of the season, if not the century. such a thing is to be expected especially from someone like tom clancy who has fascinated us with all of his other novels including "the hunt for red october". if you want to rent a video this holiday, then "the sum of all fears" is the one,and you can take my word for it.hope you enjoy it.
