The Plot... A bus loaded with thermo-nuclear explosives has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Robert Vaughn). With the help of a government explosives hacker, the CIA hopes to reclaim the pilfered goods and return them to their native land. The ATF, with the help of Nicholas Bracepress (Owen Wilson), must race through the jungle to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Japanese government. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 10 days to do it. With the aid of an old weapons specialist (Jon Voight), the good guy must skateboard through the rain forest to return the hijacked lethal poisonous gas promptly to the American people. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his old flame (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the evildoers. Added to the mix we have the madcap antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" All this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information pertaining to his sordid past. Just as the good guy are departing on their suicidal mission, they poorly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President delivers a speech to the governments of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An ATF weapons hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I pray to God he's right." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
