The Plot... A cargo jet full of thermo-nuclear explosives has been stolen by military genius (Ed Harris). With the assistance of a private weapons expert, the FBI hopes to intercept the borrowed items and get them back to their rightful owner. The ATF, with the aid of Carter Botchpress (Ben Affleck), must skateboard through the rain forest to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American government. And if this wasn't enough, he has less than 6 minutes to do it. With the help of a leather-faced weapons specialist (Sean Connery), the good guy must ski through the Sahara Desert to return the borrowed CIA information safely to the American people. The Predicament turns sour as he figures out that his sister in-law (Charlize Theron) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Also there is the loveable slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the bad guys says: "Wassup my niggas?" It won't be easy seeing that a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information concerning his messy past. Just as the good guy are setting out on their dangerous mission, they stupidly all burst into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the disappointment of the NCAA . At the final moment the President delivers a speech to the citizens of the world. As 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 computer specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next summer. Rated PG-13 Running time 124 minutes Directed by: Michael Bay Projected Critic Rating:
