Remember the concept of "Mutually Assured Destruction" (M.A.D.) from Grade 12 History? Well, The Sum of all Fears uses this concept as its basic premise, and just like that section of History class, it's pretty interesting stuff.
I often find that a lot of these "political thrillers" are not very successful in allowing the audience to feel anything near the same sense of urgency and panic that the cast is invariably experiencing. However, despite lapsing into a few moments of clicheism and predictability, The Sum of All Fears did a decent job of conveying that sense of urgency.
