"The Hunt for Red October"
Good enough. The imperialist capitalists won.
I read this book in 1990. There is a new submarine developed by the Soviets. It is to be taken out on its maiden voyage. It is very quiet, so quiet that it is near impossible to detect with sonar. This makes it special to the United States Navy as well. The problem is that the Captain and other officers are tired of being under the oppression of the Soviets. With this sub they hope to make a good break for the United States.
The Navy catches wind of this new sub and wants to find it. The Soviets have caught wind of the desire to defect by the officers, so they want to find it as well. Simple story, pretty well written. April 15, 2008
Has Aged Very Well
There are a lot of movies that I loved in the 90s that I watch now and cringe, but a few of them actually seem to be even better now. The Hunt for Red October is one of them. It is a great Cold War movie, exciting, very well acted and is paced just right. Yes, some of accents are not quite right, but so what? Most movies you have to suspend disbelief and this one is no exception. Connery is the perfect choice is Ramius and Baldwin is just as good.
The Special Edition extras are very good, not great, but good. I would ve loved to have seen an indepth documentary on the making of the film. Still, the commentary by the great directory John McTiernan is very interesting, too.
Well worth the money I spent on it (Ok I got it for $5 in a Walmart bin of DVDs) and one of my favorite films. April 10, 2008
BAND ON THE RUN
Movie was released just as the Soviet Empire was disintegrating. It seems that Connery has served too long in the Russian Navy and has designs of defecting with crew and submarine to the USA. He's convinced that a new, soundless submarine will lead to yet another arms race, at minimum. The problem is that the entire Russian northern fleet is after him and the Americans aren't sure whether the Russians are using a ploy to attack USA interests. Enter Jack Ryan to correctly interpret Connery's every move in a typical underwater chess match. Only a loyal Russian saboteur causes havoc before he's overcome, thus adding weight to the drama. A good, not great movie with action, suspense and the aging Connery making for a good buy at a reasonable price, especially when boxed with other related specials. March 26, 2008
