Phillip Noyce is very much a '90s director. He has continued to work past the '90s and directed before the '90s of course but he feels like a '90s director to me. He just makes those kind of slick popcorn films that were popular in the '90s. The two biggest everyone has no doubt seen are Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, the films where Harrison Ford plays Jack Ryan. But Noyce is so much more than those two films and we'll be celebrating him all through April. There will be one instance where I heavily criticize one of his films but that's part of doing these director spotlights. Writing about something I love is only half the battle. It's important to also look at what projects of their's didn't work for me. So onward to celebrate a consistent and mostly great director.
