The Plot... A train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a contracted computer specialist, the ATF hopes to reclaim the hijacked technologies and get them back to their owner. PETA, with the assistance of Jackson Bracewinch (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Icelandic people. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 5 minutes to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced veteran (Bruce Willis), the good guy must jet ski through the jungle to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. The situation worsens as he realises that his wife (Nicole Kidman) has been carjacked by the evildoers. Also you see the screwball slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the bad guys says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets about his sordid criminal record. Just as our hero are departing on their perlious journey, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the dismay of the CIA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through 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. Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA weapons hacker in the crowd replies: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall. Rated R Running time 255 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
