The Plot... A cargo barge full of nuclear warheads has been stolen by a lunatic (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government explosives expert, the CIA hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and get them back to their original owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Stanley Goodspeed (Owen Wilson), must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Japanese government. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 12 weeks to do it. With the aid of a grizzled veteran (Robert Duvall), the good guy must jet ski through the Sahara Desert to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the English military. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his sister in-law (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Along with this you see the loveable tomfoolery of a sass-talking black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the evildoers says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" It will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Lawrence Fishburne) has information pertaining to his ugly past. Just as the good guys are departing on their dangerous journey, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of PETA . In a stunning climax the President delivers a decree to the citizens of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA chemical hacker watching at home retorts: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next summer. This film is not yet rated.
