The Plot... A train full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a government computer expert, the PMRC hopes to reclaim the stolen goods and return them to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the help of Henry Henchwright (George Clooney), must motorbike through the Swiss Alps to deliver the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 5 hours to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Sean Connery), the good guys must jet ski through the jungle to return the hijacked lethal poisonous gas in a timely manner to the English people. All this worsens as he realises that his old flame (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix you see the madcap antics of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" All this will prove difficult because a cop with a vendetta (Robert DiNero) has secrets pertaining to his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting off on their suicidal mission, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of September '63 much to the embarrassment of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a speech to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding happens he says: " Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" An NCAA chemical hacker in the crowd replies: "I pray to God he's right." Coming this winter. Rated R Running time 126 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
