One of my favorite scenes in the excellent feature film adaptation of Tom Clancy’s CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER occurs about an hour and fifty minutes in. John Clark’s (played by Willem Dafoe) drug interdiction unit of American Soldiers has been hunted down and destroyed by Colombian paramilitary forces controlled by the drug cartels. Desperate to save whomever he can, Clark travels into the Colombian jungle with CIA Deputy Director Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) to look for survivors. When they reach the site where the unit met its end, a lone survivor, Ding Chavez (Raymond Cruz) roars out of the jungle and grabs Clark by the throat, believing erroneously that Clark left them there to die. It seems, for a moment, as if Chavez might kill Clark with his bare hands right there in the river. But Ryan intervenes, gets between the two men and tells Chavez “It’s not his fault…”
Whose Fault is it!?
Whose Fault is it!?
