The Plot... A barge full of lethal poisonous gas has been stolen by a former U.S. General (Gene Hackman). With the help of a contracted computer expert, NASA hopes to intercept the stolen computer chips and return them to their owner. PETA, with the help of Hubert Goodspeed (Tom Cruise), must motorbike through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 12 hours to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Robert Duvall), our heroes must jet ski through the Swiss Alps to deliver the borrowed lethal poisonous gas safely to the American government. All this turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the evildoers. Also you see the madcap slapstick of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" It will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets pertaining to his ugly criminal record. Just as our heroes are marching off on their suicidal mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "Here we stand, at the dawn of a new tomorrow. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." A NASA chemical specialist watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late."
Coming next summer. Rated PG-13 Projected Critic Rating: |
