The Plot... A plane loaded with government secrets has been hijacked by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (John Lithgow). With the assistance of a government computer specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the hijacked technologies and return them to their rightful owner. PETA, with the aid of Austin Goodpress (Denzel Washington), must mountain bike through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Icelandic government. As if this wasn't enough, he has less than 8 weeks to do it. With the aid of a crochety navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guys must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the borrowed government secrets safely to the Argentinian government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Angelina Jolie) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also you see the loveable tomfoolery of a jive talkin' soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?" All this won't be easy seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Samuel L. Jackson) has information about his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are marching off on their perlious mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the dismay of the PMRC . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA chemical specialist watching at home answers this with: "I hope god is on our side." Coming this summer. Rated R Running time 199 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
