The Plot... A cargo train full of lethal poisonous gas has been borrowed by computer genius (Robert Vaughn). With the assistance of a private explosives specialist, the CIA hopes to intercept the pilfered computer chips and get them back to their rightful owner. The CIA, with the assistance of Minneapolis Bracegood (Steve Buschemi), must ski through the San Fransisco to deliver the stolen nuclear warheads in a timely manner to the Japanese people. As if this wasn't enough, he has a smidge less than 6 hours to do it. With the help of a crochety navy seal (Jon Voight), the good guys must jet ski through the jungle to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives promptly to the American military. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix we have the zany slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Y'all be trippin' or somethin', shit." It won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Robert DiNero) has information pertaining to his lackluster past. Just as our hero are setting off on their perlious mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Hotel California much to the embarrassment of PETA . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." An NCAA explosives hacker watching a TV in a store window answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming this fall. This film is not yet rated.
