The Plot... A cargo barge loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by the most dangerous terrorist in the world (Ed Harris). With the help of a contracted weapons hacker, the CIA hopes to intercept the stolen goods and return them to their native land. The NCRP, with the aid of Nicholas Goodgood (George Clooney), must ski through the rain forest to deliver the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the Argentinian government. And if it wasn't hard enough, he has only 15 hours to do it. With the help of a leather-faced navy seal (Robert Duvall), the good guys must motorbike through the Sahara Desert to deliver the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the Icelandic government. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the villain. Added to the mix you see the screwball slapstick of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the evildoers says: "You crazy, muthafucka?" It won't be easy because a cop with a vendetta (Al Pacino) has information regarding his messy past. Just as our heroes are setting off on their suicidal mission, they stupidly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of the ATF . In the eleventh hour the President recites a speech to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth drags on he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA computer specialist watching at home retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next spring. Rated R Running time 190 minutes Directed by: Simon West Projected Critic Rating:
