The Plot... A barge loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been pilfered by military genius (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a private chemical specialist, PETA hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and return them to their original owner. The ATF, with the help of Austin Goodgood (Will Smith), must race through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American government. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 12 minutes to do it. With the aid of a grizzled navy seal (Jon Voight), our heroes must motorbike through the rain forest to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic government. All this turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the evildoers. Along with this we have the screwball slapstick of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has secrets concerning his ugly criminal record. Just as the good guy are setting out on their suicidal mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of the FBI . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PMRC weapons hacker watching at home retorts: "I just hope he's right." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
