The Plot... A cargo barge full of CIA information has been borrowed by a lunatic with good intentions (Gene Hackman). With the aid of a government chemical specialist, the ATF hopes to intercept the stolen technologies and return them to their owner. The NCRP, with the aid of Carter Benchstitch (Denzel Washington), must jet ski through the New Jersy Turnpike to deliver the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the American military. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 12 days to do it. With the aid of a grizzled marine (Jon Voight), our hero must jet ski through the jungle to return the hijacked government secrets in a timely manner to the American government. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his brother's girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) has been working for the the bad guys. Also you see the madcap slapstick of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "Wassup my niggas?" It won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Robert DiNero) has information regarding his ugly life of crime. Just as our heroes are setting out on their suicidal mission, they poorly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the disappointment of the ATF . In a stunning climax the President issues a decree to the governments of the world. While this dramatic grandstanding drags on he says: " Drop the bombs, Commander." A NASA computer specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming this fall. This film is not yet rated.
