The Plot... A donkey train loaded with lethal poisonous gas has been hijacked by a lunatic with good intentions (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a government explosives specialist, the NCRP hopes to reclaim the borrowed goods and return them to their native land. The NCRP, with the assistance of Minneapolis Cartwreck (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the jungle to return the stolen nuclear warheads safely to the Japanese military. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has less than 8 hours to do it. With the help of an old stick in the mud (Sean Connery), our hero must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the pilfered lethal poisonous gas safely to the American military. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his high school sweetheart (Charlize Theron) has been working with the evildoers. Also there is the zany antics of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" All this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has secrets concerning his sloppy past. Just as our heroes are setting out on their suicidal journey, they poorly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of PETA . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the peoples of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: "This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. This is the dawn of a new tomorrow." An NCAA weapons specialist watching at home replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next spring. Rated PG-13 Running time 192 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
