The Plot... A cargo plane full of nuclear warheads has been pilfered by military genius (Ed Harris). With the help of a contracted computer hacker, PETA hopes to reclaim the stolen technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. The NCRP, with the assistance of Stanley Menchgood (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must motorbike through the jungle to return the stolen thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 10 hours to do it. With the help of a retired weapons specialist (Jon Voight), the good guy must mountain bike through the jungle to deliver the stolen CIA information promptly to the Argentinian government. The situation turns sour as he realises that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Also we have the zany tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "When I get outta here, I'm gonna kick yo WHITE ASS!" It will prove difficult seeing that an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets pertaining to his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting off on their perlious mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Leavin' on a Jetplane much to the dismay of the ATF . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A PETA chemical expert watching a TV in a store window retorts: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall. Rated R Running time 110 minutes Directed by: Wes Craven Projected Critic Rating:
